Hall & Oak Woodworking

Unfortunately our silver compact mirriors were delayed in delivery and will be arriving on Thursday instead of tonight. They’ll be available with Plethorium at the sad snacks event Sad&Spooky this Saturday along with anything else we can supply to fill the space (wands, vessels, pendant jewelry, etc)

Hope to see you there!

A new hand router and a specialty hard-wood router bit means we can make compact mirriors with even more wood options!

Waiting on our silver mirrors to arrive tomorrow before we start attaching these wooden faces, BUT now we have 2 Purple Heart, 2 spalted tamarind, 3 Paduak, 2 leopard wood, 2 claro walnut, 1 cedar, and 1 oak Burl compacts that’ll be available by the end of the week!

Come back tomorrow to see which woods end up on silver and which end up on gold!

And as always, if you have a specific combination you want to see, comment below or shoot us a message here on Facebook or through our business number at +1 (419) 740-0291

Friendly reminder that the pumpkin collection will be going away at the end of the month! Order yours now at houndfashion.com so your pet can look as good as Oakley for Halloween!

Prototype for single piece trays. Learned a lot during the trial and error process for this first attempt.

For example:

-I absolutely need to remove a majority of the material via forstner bit before hitting it with a router bit because it’s just too much for my table router and/or Bosh router to handle without burning up the blades.

-Rounding off the top surface isn’t always “the look”

-taking half of the material off with the router instead of all at once is the way to go

-I will want to invest in a small hand router to zip off those edges if that’s something I plan on doing because my Bosh is too Heavy and wants to topple when I take corners, which cuts into the finish creating an uneven bevel.

-I need to build a clamping table / peg table to hold products in place for sanding/routing to free up my hands.

It’s all a learning process but I’m excited to keep messing around with these acyclic router templates

Squeezed in a little bit of time today to make this purple heart perfume atomizer. Still figuring out the price and I’ll be getting better photos once I give it a little more time to bake in the sun to bring out that beautiful, natural purple shade.

That being said, which of the many Plethorium perfume or cologne sense do you think would fit best!?

Hair sticks with a Plethorium collab today or perfume bottles? Chasing that motivation and hoping to make more stuff!

Running into some hiccups with the grain splitting the other blanks, but this Patagonia Rosewood turned the simple little compact mirror into something extraordinarily beautiful!

We’re gonna keep trying for the other species of wood, but I’m happy to see that one of my favorite wood species turned out as beautifully as It did for this project
