Get a grip on your food prep with this handy pepper grinder design! A little maple/walnut glue up gives it some fun accent. I feel like adding walnut to any project takes it up a notch. https://t.co/P03aZusq8x

Shop Manager Benson found a nice spot to hide for a power nap while splitting wood. He could still keep an eye on us to make sure we were working. https://t.co/dSuX78Jhv3

We cut a bunch of oak and cherry that I'd like to save to be turned on our lathe in the future. One key aspect to that project is making sure the logs dry as evenly as possible. To prevent cracks and checking we use… https://t.co/btN1czObcj

Stripping what looked like stain off to reveal white paint underneath! The top had been painted to look like wood. Crazy. Now to pull off all of the layers to get to that beautiful grain. https://t.co/8WcbLaF27V

Oiling a cutting board for the first time can take a decent amount of mineral oil. This was coat 1 of 3 which was then followed by a custom mix of oil/beeswax. This is my favorite part of cutting board builds. https://t.co/GVwurA1leb

Friends of ours over at @ivyandrust hooked us up with a sweet new sign for the shop! I love this so much. We're already planning some wall space to showcase it. Check them out. They are doing some fun projects. https://t.co/hwlpyL6mE2

While doing a resto we uncovered this sticker on the back of a mirror. It hasn't seen daylight in decades and has a date stamped on it from 1922! This has had quite a life so far. We were careful to preserve the… https://t.co/21Md4eFxU3
