The new Puget Sound cribbage boards made their Seattle Farmers Market Assoc. Ballard Farmers Market debut today—and I have three left.

One of those is the charred Shou Sugi Ban version pictured here.

I’m at the Ballard Farmers Market until 2pm today, so you’ve still got time to swing by, say hi, and see them in person.

Women’s Woodworking Night is tomorrow!

Britain and I are now hosting a free Women’s Woodworking Night at SnoCo Makerspace in Everett on third Thursdays.

Join us Thursday, September 17 from 6–8 PM, or any upcoming third Thursdays for an evening in the woodshop. Come see what we’re working on, ask questions about a project, or ask for a demo on equipment or techniques we know our way around.

You’re Invited:

Women’s Woodworking Night

Hi friends,

It’s been a little while since I’ve popped into your inbox, and I have a lot of updates to share soon — but first, I wanted to invite you to something happening tomorrow night!

Women’s Woodworking Night — Thursday, September 17, 6p-8p

I’ve been co-hosting a free Women’s Woodworking Night at SnoCo Makerspace in Everett with my friend Britain, and I realized I haven’t actually told all of you about it yet!

The next one is tomorrow, Thursday, September 17, and you’re welcome to come join us.

This is a relaxed, informal evening.

You can:
Stop by and see what Britain and I are working on
Bring questions about a woodworking project of your own
Ask us to demonstrate equipment or techniques we’re familiar with
If you’re a SnoCo Makerspace member, bring a project and work alongside us — we’re happy to help where we can
If you’re not a member and you’re simply curious about the makerspace, we’d be happy to show you around

The event is free, and anyone is welcome.

What else have I been up to?

A lot, actually! I’ve been spending much of my time developing new woodworking pieces, experimenting with different materials and techniques, and generally figuring out what the next chapter of my creative work looks like.

I’ll be at the Ballard Farmers Market this Sunday with some of the pieces I've been working on. Come say hi!

A quick epoxy resin update

I’m also continuing to work through my remaining epoxy resin projects. Closing out this part of my business has been a much slower process than I originally anticipated, but I’m hoping to have this chapter wrapped up by the end of the year.

If I’m currently working on a project for you, your project is still in my queue and I am continuing to work through those commitments. I truly appreciate everyone’s patience while I make my way through them.

As I get closer to finishing, I’m also planning to hold a sale of the epoxy resin supplies, tools, and equipment I’ll no longer need. I’ll send more information once I have a better sense of timing.

For now, I hope I’ll see a few of you tomorrow night at SnoCo Makerspace — or at the Ballard Farmers Market on Sunday!
