Woodworking FAQs – Know the FAQ

Wood is Precious
I use domestic hardwoods in my work, mostly Cherry, Maple and Walnut. Cherry is my favorite.
I have just always found it pretty and believe you will, too, when you hang a fine piece
of wood wall art in your home. While wood is a renewable resource, it takes decades
for a hardwood tree to mature. The rings, grain and little imperfections in wood that
give the birds eye, quilted or burl figure to a piece of wood are the result of all that has
happened to an individual tree throughout its lifetime. They are like lines under our eyes
or gray hair on our heads – marks of character. Like us, trees are the sum of all that has
happened and defined a life. Life should not be wasted. This makes every small piece of
wood used in my laser engraving and woodworking precious.

Saving Wood is Eco-Friendly
Whenever I undertake a fine wooden table making project
like a cabinet or bookcase, there is always wood left over. Maybe the leftover
pieces didn’t quite match in color or grain or just weren’t quite long
enough for that last drawer, but they are very beautiful. I may keep these pieces in my
little wood shed for decades until I can find a good purpose for each one – a way to turn
potential scrap into found treasures.I discovered that saved wood is ideal for handcrafting
personalized signs and inspirational wall art and I hope you will feel good about
purchasing a wood gift from my workshop where I strive to be eco-friendly by refusing to
waste wood. I do not work with imported hardwoods, and you can be confident that your
made-in-the-USA wood gifts are crafted of real American wood.

Letting the Wood Speak
When I set about making an engraved wood gift for you, I don’t just grab any piece of a
particular size and engrave something upon it. I look at a piece of wood and its grain and
say to myself, “This grain looks like waves. It is best for a nautical theme,” or,
“This grain with bird’s eyes looks like stars. It is best for a theme or engraving that
matches the texture of the material.” Take a look at the plaque called
Jessica’s Plaque“. Note how the
bird’s eye figure looks like distant stars, or consider the John Muir Quote Plaque
and notice how the deep forest theme fits the dark and aging maple.
On the Edward Kennedy Quote Plaque
with the eternal flame graphic, you may notice the grain has a subtle smoke shape to it.
These nuances may not be something you notice right at first, but once you start to look
thoughtfully at the beauty of wood, you may begin to discern patterns of your own. I
believe that sensitivity to the wood is part of my craft. Every piece of every precious
tree has a perfect use. It is my pleasure to find just the right wood to create a
memorable piece that you will enjoy and admire for years to come. If you enjoy stories
about interesting woods and woodworking, I hope you’ll stop by my woodworking blog
to keep in touch with what’s going on in my workshop.

Letting the Wood Show
The wood is the reason I hand plane my work with hand planes or scrapers. There are many
ways to smooth a board, but I believe that cutting the wood fibers with a sharp tool yields
the best looking surface and brings out the natural beauty of the wood for you to see. This
is not an easy way to do this. Planes are difficult to make and sharpen. They require an
investment of time and sweat. My aim is to achieve the best possible surface of the wood with
my own two hands. My wooden plaques are
simple things, but each one has been shaped and polished and selected with care and
consideration, and I hope you can see this in the finished pieces. It is my joy and passion
to share my woodworking craft with you, and it is my great hope that you might find
something here to cherish.
