Floating Cherry Wall Shelf
Here is a quick little project I did for a client. A small wall box shelf made of cherry wood, with mitered corners reinforced with wooden splines. It hangs on a french cleat, for a clean look with no hardware showing.

More progress on the crib! Getting close to done! Photos below show more process photos of the piece being built. Organizing pieces together and figuring out hardware so I can finally get the piece standing up! Also, I got a new studio space! A little area all to myself with a workbench i whipped up and my toolbox, those pictures are at the end.
Check in soon for pictures of the finished piece!

Cutting mortises in the legs, dados in the rails, and drilling holes for hardware.

Testing out the inlay technique for the designs on the front.

Progress on The Ana Crib
For those who don't know, I am building a crib! It is a collaborative design between myself and the clients, who are also both designers! The legs are made from solid walnut, with hard maple sides. There is also some mahogany inlay work into the faces of the crib. Here is the first round of photos, with pieces slowly coming together,stay tuned for more updates
Now, for way too many pictures of a teeny-tiny crib. Also, some wood being cut and some things being glued and some epic dado action.

New work! Wood & Paper LED Lamps
Well Ok they are not entirely new. Remember the paper & wood lamps I made last year? Check them out here:

Well I re-designed the lamp a bit, and made a new batch! I used walnut for most of them, made a few in hickory, and one in cedar. Used a puck-light LED under cabinet light that is battery operated. Magnets hold the top on, and the second batch got splined miters. Check it out!
Also, you can buy the lamps on my etsy site here:
