Aside from our well-known Log Rules (Scaling sticks), we can tackle practically any one-off request. Some examples are below, but we’d love to hear what you’re wanting to bring to life.

Chaotic pattern boards
An end-grain cutting board series, featuring a non-repeating configuration of randomized elements. It is extremely time consuming to produce such an effect.
This board series was constructed with Cherry, Maple, Purpleheart, and Walnut, then finished with Howard’s Cutting Board Oil and their Butcher Block Conditioner. In our opinion, the result was significantly darker, with colors that appeared muted as compared to an Odie’s Oil finish.
Small tea box
This entire box is made from 1/4″ thick material.
Beginning as a single small slab of badly twisted English Walnut, we were able to morph into a useful object.
Subtle details include Bolivian Rosewood corners and splines, as well as a solid wooden hinge.
Statue restoration
This wooden statue had broken ears and other minor defects. We were able to repair and restore the color back to its natural oiled finish (using Odie’s Oil, of course).
Game Station
Somewhere to hang your headset and controller when not in use.
Sidewalk Sandwich Board
Catch passers-by with sidewalk presence! Constructed of Cedar & Oak, this mobile business sign (yes, with wheels) is designed to see years of weather, thanks to layering of 3 Odie’s Oil products: Super Duper Everlasting Oil, Universal Oil, and Wax.
Face-Grain Boards
Walnut and Maple. These are shown just before oiling, which is when the colors truly “come to life”.
Cheese Board
Walnut, Cherry, and Maple plus a laser engraving add warmth and beauty to an evening of wine and cheese!
Menu Boards
We were asked to make some lightweight menus for a local coffee shop. We produced three (3) menus, each weighing just around 3 lbs.
The frame is designed to allow the individual entries to be replaced/re-ordered with relative ease.
End-grain Boards
Walnut, Cherry, and Maple are classic materials.
Here you get a preview of how the raw wood begins to “glow” as oiled! This is for illustration only, as the “oil” is just a natural orange peel-based solvent.
Screwdriver Restoration
These almost look like different screwdrivers! I assure you: they have only been restored. The rust removal, polishing, and new scales (handles) turned on the lathe, were all done in-house.
Cocktail Smoker Set
A customer asked for a smoker that would store neatly. This is a Hard Maple 3-piece unit, consisting of a base, vented smoke chamber, and lid (to snuff any embers and contain remaining smoke).
What isn’t shown here is the unique vented chamber on the underside of the chip screen.
Sadly, Amazon now offers smokers so inexpensively that it is not cost effective to make/market these.
Bed Head/Footboard
This client asked for a footboard to match an existing headboard. Design details include slip-fit dovetails and pinned mortise & tenon. The only glue used in the entire project lies within the wider solid wood “panels” (several smaller width boards, glued together).
Multi-level Cake Stand
A rustic wedding venue calls for something different. Sliding dovetails allow this cake stand to be taken apart until needed again.
Laser engraving/ design
This store-bought cutting board was dressed up with a unique location “pin” pointing to it’s true location within the state, so everyone knows where “home” is.
Multi-layer wall lamp
Designed for younger folks, this dimmable wall lamp adds color and character to a room.
Record stand
Display which album is currently spinning. Even when not in use, it still resembles a record.
