Sorry to any of my followers who were wondering where I went 😆
We had a baby last summer so my workshop times have been severely curtailed.
Then, this past holiday season, my Scandinavian Christmas deer were all the rage on Etsy.
Here's some catch-up photos of some stuff I did last year.
I've always thought the Christmas snow globes I made from vintage mason jars were neat, so I experimented with some different holiday themes. Here are two Halloween jars I made this year.
I found a local 7up crate to consolidate my local bottle collection into. This led me to a new way to wire the light hardware with minimal damage to the crate. I also used a brighter (75W) LED which I think gives more color to the bottles.
At one of the sites where I salvage colonial period wood, I found two beams with Roman numerals cut into them with an axe or chisel. Some research taught me that these numbers were used to mark mortise joints, which were custom-fitted as the builders went along.
My first inclination was to transform these beams into clocks as a way to preserve the marks and still upcycle the wood, which turned out to be chestnut. It took quite a bit of work with the miter and table saws just to get the beam down to a workable size, then some trial & error with my router to carve out a seat for the clock mechanism, but I really like how this desk clock turned out.
A few in progress projects: wood deer magnets, another crate lamp, and 4 Nativity string pieces.
My grandfather gave me his stencils for these wood deer he used to enjoy making with his bandsaw, and I’ve turned out a few of varying sizes. They are now available in my Etsy shop.
Small (4") Medium (6") Large (10")
I will have an XL available as soon as I can determine the limits of my tools. I managed to make one about 14" tall but it’s too big to make without difficulty.
Small table centerpiece that could also be a wall vase combo. Made from repurposed wood and three vintage Easton (Pa) Bottling Works bottles.
Some recently completed string art projects. #stringart #stringtheory
Staging the trestle table.
An ambient light fixture fashioned from a vintage crate, lamp wiring, and some antique bottles.
The shadowbox coffee table has been completed.
Finished the first trestle set for my farmhouse table! Second is cut, sanded, and ready for assembly.
What will really make this table unique is that all the wood is coming from the same barn/silo, in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The barn was built in the late 1700s and the silo erected c. 1910.
Silo wood is narrow tongue-&-groove slats and will make up the table top.
Another shadowbox coffee table in progress, from a sixpane window.
Completed customer commission: Georgia Bulldogs logo on upcycled antique nightstand tabletop. #dhstringtheory #stringart #georgiabulldogs
Finished this hanging shelf over the weekend. Antique nautical pulley block and recycled wood.
Another idea I'd like to try
