Coming along. Had to take a little unforseen time off, but should be back at it tomorrow. Another round of sanding, then the lettering will be gilded with genuine 24k gold leaf. It should shine soooo nice in contrast with the teak.

Hey strangers!! It's been forever since I have posted anything. It's also been forever since I have stuck a chisel into wood. But someone close to me wanted a custom Quarterboard for their sailboat. Good excuse to get back into it. Once I finish the lettering, I will finish the end design, drill holes for mounting, route an edge chamfer, then gold leaf the lettering and edge chamfer. After that, it will recieve multiple coats of Spar urethane sanded between coats... the boat's name is *MIST* and it's carved into teakwood. Progress pictures to follow.

Although I'm a purist at heart. I have finally caved to some tech. That means custom laser engraving coming soon. Anything from wood, YETI tumblers, glass, leather, etc.. Should be up and running within the next month. I realize that I have taken a long hiatus, but hoping to be doing some projects soon. Going to post again once I rehab my ETSY shop so we can get the HEJ train moving again!

Hello everyone! I'm still alive and kickin'! Just busy with life and the fact that I don't have a shop is limiting my ability to produce my work. But, I did manage to do this fun little framed string art of the Eiffel Tower for my wonderful Sister.

Never posted a finished picture of the record shelf I built a few months ago. It has a bit of trim paint from moving on the face of the cedar mantle, but that will come off when I have some spare time.
