Fresh from the clamps, with glue remnants everywhere, and with deep thanks to the glue gods & goddesses, as well as Mark, who happened to come home early (to work in his office), for helping me handle this piece. ⚡️ #takenothingforgranted #customfurniture #customsideboard #handcutjoinery #dovetails #moderndesign #womanownedbusiness Sometimes people ask me what my favorite tool it is. I generally avoid thinking in terms of favorites, as with superlatives. But today I realized that if I had to have a favorite tool, it would be my chisels. There is something about the intimacy between hand, tool, and material when you’re cleaning out a mortise, whether for an exposed tenon or a hinge. It’s a feeling of crispness that’s most satisfying. ⚡️ #handtools #lienielsentoolworks #bluesprucetoolworks #woodworking #womanownedbusiness #womeninwoodworking #womanswork #handwork
For a delicately shaped special inlay, nothing I know of gives more sensitive feedback to fingers than a @calebjamesmaker shave. ⚡️ #handtools #woodworkingskills #woodshavingwednesday #customfurnituremaker #spokeshave #womenshavetoo Curved bookcase in the bedroom-sitting room of Wharton Esherick’s Home near Paoli, Pennsylvania. This summer I crossed a big one off my bucket list: a visit to the home of artist/craftsman Wharton Esherick. Pics (& bonus playlist ) in my post at Popular Woodworking today.

Delivered! @kayeml22 and I carried this top in from my truck after early morning loading with Mark. It fits! Now I can breathe again. Thanks so much for the opportunity to work on such a fun commission. I’m looking forward to seeing the piano and table top in their final orientation (how many of you know about piano dollies?) and to getting better pics. Curly ambrosia maple from @rrawroughcutlumber #pianotoptable #customfurniture #fullcustomfurniture #lovemyclients #ambrosiamaple #curlyambrosiamaple #womanownedbusiness #womeninwoodworking I will never tire of the view through and around our kitchen window. The garden has changed so much since I first tilled in the grass and planted perennials in 2004. Now, with the daughter persimmon trees taking over from the big tree that died last year, it’s turning into a shade garden. Amazingly, the tallest daughter is already bearing fruit. . #kitchenthink #kitchendesign #kitchendecor #kitchensink #kitchenview #decor #vintage #salvagedlighting #kitchenlighting #whitepottery #vintageceramics #potteryaddict #gardenview #persimmonlover
