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. |
