He calls this one “Fast Food”.

Bronze Bear

This is my dad, Mike! He is a retired

educator of art and photography, and he

now enjoys making things like this bronze

sculpture.

I guess this is a perfect example of the

service I provide, CUSTOM carpentry. He

needed abase made, so I helped him make

one.

Fireplace Mantel

The next project for this week was

another fireplace mantel. This wood

comes from the St. George Temple. We

figure it dates back to the late 1800’s, back

when a “2x4” was actually 2 x 4 inches!

One of these boards was even shaped

more like a triangle than a rectangle. LOL!

This one will have sentimental value for a

neighbor friend who is building a fireplace

mantel for his mother. He needed help

cleaning them up (including extracting a

bunch of SQUARE nails) and flattening

them out. We didn’t plane it all the way

down because we wanted to maintain part

of the “rustic” look

Knife Block

And the latest project I’m currently

working on is a knife block made of curly

maple. Here’s what the 3D model looks like.

A neighbor friend has been adding to his

cutlery knife collection and

has out grown his existing knife block.

Custom carpentry to the rescue. He

specifically requested curly maple so stay

tuned to see how it turns out!
