Escaping the heat and wildfire smoke, we’ve made our way to the coast. This is the lagoon at Mackerricher State Park in Ft. Bragg. #mackerricherstatepark #fortbragg (at MacKerricher State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ-QnG5DY_WVczBwcc8EHupJ7YHHHcI8gcbKig0/?utm_medium=tumblr

This year’s Christmas gift of boxes. Leopard wood, ebony, and holly. Shellac and wax and ready for display. The contrast creates a nice decorative element. #christmas #boxes #leopardwood #ebony #holly #inlay #decorating #display (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXX8m7jaMs/?igshid=15y4zifzr219e

A composition that makes itself. And makes a morning. #december #morning #sunrise #light #trees #mist (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI7MdCQjpwy/?igshid=to9wb4oc1spe

Sunrise after a day of rain. Perfect for reflective haze. Shot 1 of 2. Sadie looks on. #sunrise #fog #december (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI7MN5iDcJP/?igshid=ak4v3ypdmycj

It’s International dog day. Sadie figured out that the dog food container is just outside the back slider. And, that bringing the dish like this prompts us to open that back slider to refill it. She then makes her exit and chases away everything out there. Birds, squirrels, deer, coyotes, raccoons, and even rabbits. It’s a dish that opens doors. #internationaldogday (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXoV_0DaKF/?igshid=11y76wx99ge3

Straight from the garden to our #breakfast. The reward for gardening is the months of daily pickings. So fresh and delicious. #yum #strawberries #cherrytomatoes #summer #vegetablegarden (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCbVEj7jbwV/?igshid=19lcjqax8g1j0

Looking forward to the @lostArtPress pub of “Looked So Simple But Took So Long - an Ode to Small Shop Woodworking” coming out later this year. This slatted #gardenwindow #plants support, made of #madrone and #pine involved 220 glue-ups. #woodworking #shop #handtools #homemade #onward (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0l8_5jn_w/?igshid=4whagy3uxkgy

This white oak box, made some years ago to hold my dividers and other tools, has on its resawn cover the likeness of the tree from which it came. #whiteoak #box #starrett #handtools (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAY01zbDYYH/?igshid=1dri7rlx57uyz

My take on Weber. This #box was the 2019 #Christmas #gift for my wife. The darker wood is #cocobolo and the lighter a local #madrone. It’s about 10” x 3 1/4” x 2 1/2” tall. The cocobolo laminations, bendings, and inlays made this a worthy challenge. #woodworking #handmade #love (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0h1zijlJ2/?igshid=bab4gnjxnsys

This is an #indenture contract for 15 year old François Chailleau, a resident of a NYC almshouse, to learn the Art, Trade, and Mystery of Cabinet Making for six years. He agreed to work with the incredible Honoré Lannuier on 07/26/1809. If you can zoom, it’s quite a read. No fornication or matrimony, for example, shall be committed during this six years. #cabinetmaker #empirestyle #directoirestyle #lannuier https://www.instagram.com/p/B5jo9XuAoR1/?igshid=lgzdy61tmy7i

Wagon Creek Bridge on Lake Siskiyou. This 260 ft pedestrian footbridge connects a beautiful trail that circumnavigates the lake. Mount Shasta provides the backdrop on this rare cool day in August. #bridge #mountshasta #lakesiskiyou #california #hiking #lake (at Lake Siskiyou) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HwSOlAErz/?igshid=87ee3llvd4k9

#madrone #desk for the #builtin #pantry in family room. The only difficulty here was the wavy drywall fitting but it adds a warmth and #customcabinets feel that is inviting. Full-length madrone created with edge-jointing only. (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0lrdvtgCLQ/?igshid=wv2xe2u20en0
