Madrone Burl salad bowl re-carved and finished after I decided I wanted to fill the holes with epoxy. Now this can be used as a Salad bowl without dressing getting lost in the cracks! Item sold.

I made a bed frame last year and finally got around to the headboard this year! Black walnut with Ruby Monocoat wax finish. Outlets and USB ports on both sides and Pautix lighting. The headboard is slightly reclined and the lighting perfect for reading in any position.

Freeze time for powderpost beetles! Here I’m using dry ice to surround the piece of wood that I used on two end tables that was inhabited by powder post beetles. These will destroy your wood furniture but this method allows me to stop them cold( hahaha) without toxic chemicals. The wood was frozen solid!

Red Alder end table was really fun to carve. Looking forward to making more of these. This one I bleached to offer a table that is not orange hoping it may fit someone’s decorating needs. What do you think? Wax finish ( Rubio monocoat)
