We were very honored to create the Sponsorship and Finisher Awards for the @mitchellthorpfoundation Warrior Spirit 5K Run/Walk this past weekend. Great event and an even greater cause! Big thanks to all the sponsors and everyone who came out to support. To find out more about how you can bring hope to local families with children suffering from life threatening conditions go to mitchellthorp.org #woodworking #customawards #awards #handmade #plaques

We are really excited to announce that a full line of KWMFG can be found at @humbleoliveoils in Downtown Carlsbad. If you have not been in before, you need to check it out. Great people and great products (not just olive oil). Head out this weekend and support your local business.

It’s not always about charcuterie and cutting boards. Sometimes it’s about working with other talented makers and creators to help showcase their amazing product. So humbling to be trusted with creating a back drop that sets off the talented @vebleather at @mojaveflea If you haven’t checked out @vebleather you should and if you are in Palm Springs or Yucca Valley, hit up @mojaveflea @mojaveflea.palmsprings for a great treasure hunt!

Excited to announce that we are a Walrus Oil affiliate! We will have all your board care needs tomorrow @re.findoffmain anniversary show. Come out and celebrate small business! Walrus Oil is the best, food safe, and environmentally friendly board care product. They also have an awesome personal care product line!

….and that’s a wrap! Holiday Season in the books and we are happy to report that it was challenging and exciting - an all around success. BIG heart felt thank you to all that supported us this year and we are looking forward to more exciting things in the coming year. Seriously, we would be nowhere without all of you. Have a very Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year. Cheers!

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! We hope you enjoy your day and no matter what your traditions are, take a moment to be thankful.

Very excited to invite you out to support your local vendors @re.findoffmain Holiday Market this Saturday! So many vendors with plenty of hand crafted items for your special holiday list. Plus, you can bring out a couple unwrapped toys to donate to Toys for Tots.

Here is a little sneak peak of the boards for this upcoming event! Only 6 spots left!

Another giant beauty delivered. Hard Maple 24 x 19 #cuttingboard #smallbusiness #hardmaplecuttingboards #woodworking

Client gifts are perfect way to say “Thank you for trusting us to deliver”. Just finished this beautiful Acacia charcuterie board for a @ccwbackyards client gift. Engraved their logo created by @jerseymadecreative and filled with @solarezusa table top epoxy. #smallbusiness #clientgifts #woodworking #epoxyresin

It cost some everything.....it doesn’t cost us anything to stop and take a moment to remember.

So we wouldn’t ruin any surprises we waited to show you this pretty custom Mother’s Day gift. Beautiful message on the underside. Plus, a hand wrapped mason jar made by the amazing @lemness to show you what it looks like to have some thing on the board. 🤣 #customwoodwork #xcarvecnc #smallbusiness #woodworking #cuttingboard #mothersdaygift

Finished up this monster last week. We are calling it the HuntersBlok. The client is an avid hunter and conservationist and wanted a board big enough to handle the cooking he does for his entire family. It was challenging but worth it. Already have a couple more orders. Walnut with a Purple Heart stripe. Measuring in at 24x20......yes 24x20 #customwoodwork #smallbusiness #bbq #woodworking #cuttingboard

Finished up this beauty this week for a real estate agent’s closing gift. 13x18 Walnut & Maple cutting board- custom name and coordinates engraved. #woodworking #smallbusiness #homedecor #realestategifts #walrusoil #xcarve #custommade

Shop Saturday! Special orders, new stock, and Mother’s Day gifts, all the things!

Custom Acacia board for an anniversary gift. If you have custom ideas, let us know! We can make it happen. #charcuterieboard #woodworking #custommade #gifts #smallbusiness

It was an honor to help design and create these awards for @urc_west to present to their employees. It’s a plus when one of those employees is my beautiful wife, who had to be shewed out of shop constantly while I was making them.

15”, 8”, and 4” walnut rounds set. #woodworking #charcuterie #smallbusiness #customwoodwork #vistaca

The shop is full of saw dust and things are taking shape for @re.findoffmain celebration this Saturday.

Re-stock @urban.barn Hand made. Always unique. #woodworking #smallbusiness #charcuterieboard #homedecor

Mary the Shop Dog says come on down to @re.findoffmain tomorrow from 11-3pm and celebrate small business! #smallbusiness #woodworking #makersmarket

Custom engraving now available thanks to the @x.carve! Big thank you to @rustic_art_woodworks for giving me some pointers to get me started! 📸 by @jerseymadecreative #woodworking #smallbusiness

Small benches will be available at the @re.findoffmain makers market this Saturday. Thanks to @731woodworks for the inspiration and encouragement!

Here are a few items for the @re.findoffmain Second Saturday show this Saturday from 11-3pm! Come on out to see some of the new items I have been working on and experience all of the other talented vendors.

Some new boards. Walnut, epoxy, and Liquid Amber. I like em. Maybe you like em.

Really like this little board. Practical and easy to store. More of these to come. Happy Tuesday!

Starting 2021 with some custom requests. These 10 x 19 end grain boards were fun to make. The wrench handle might be my favorite one.

Light up your living room with this live edge sofa and end table set! $370 takes the whole set. Head out to @urban.barn to pick these up on a beautiful small business Saturday! Sofa Table - L 53.5” / W 12” fans to 15” / H 29” End Tables - L 23.5” / W 12.5” / H 20” #smallbusinesssaturday #urbanbarn #liveedge #customfurniture

This walnut epoxy sofa table is marked down to $275 in my space @urban.barn out in Escondido. That’s a small business Saturday steal! H-29” W-11” L-49.5” #urbanbarn #customwoodwork #furniture #liveedge #epoxy #smallbusinesssaturday

Only 3 left! Hand pin striped by @bcfcustompaint - just $48 today! These are all pre-drilled and ready to by mounted, with magnetic cap catcher. These make for a special custom gift and you can support 2 small businesses at the same time. DM me for details. #smallbusiness #handmade #handpainted #gifts #woodworker #pinstriping #custommade #smallbusinesssaturday

Happy Friday! Here is the current Purpleheart collection of cutting boards. I get asked all the time what stain I use to give these their color - no stain or color tricks just purple wood. It is very dense and heavy so paired with Maple creates a cutting board that will last many years. #cuttingboards #giftsforhim #handmadegifts #bbq

@re.findoffmain today! Great stuff over there, don’t miss out!

I have amazing friends and family that are going to help me be at 2 places at one time! Next Saturday Nov 14 you can catch us at both @re.findoffmain and @cashandcarrymakersmarket Both markets are going to feature some unique pieces to get a head start on your holiday shopping! Come out and support 2 great markets and local vendors!

This was a nice cutting board, then I dressed it with @walrusoil cutting board wax.....,now it’s a beautiful piece of food worthy art. There will be a few of these Purple Heart and Maple cutting boards at @re.findoffmain this Saturday from 11am to 3pm. Support your local shops and business!

I officially punched Monday in the face and accomplished a lot in the shop. Here are just a few of the items I am creating for the @re.findoffmain makers market this Saturday. Come on down from 11am to 3pm check out the vendors and the store!

It’s great to have talented creative people to collaborate with. My brother @bluecollarfather takes things I make or find and creates very unique and one off pieces. These wall mounted hard wood bottle openers and vintage saws are individually pin stripped with care and precision. No two are the same, so if you see one you like take a trip down to @urban.barn to grab it up this weekend!

I’ve been encouraged by many friends and family (mostly my wife) to get out from behind the desk and start a bonafide small business selling these wares and items that I create for a couple years now. I was furloughed in July so no more excuses, here we go! Stay tuned for some fun news in the next few days. Big thanks to my brothers, @ryerflaker for a rad logo and @bluecollarfather for pullin all the lines these past couple months and both of you for supporting this venture 100% . Gotta shout out to my biggest fan and CFO @jmariefue for pushing me forward. Bring on the adventure!
