I’ve started woodburning a large blanket chest. This thing is huge and takes up a fair amount of space in my mudroom. It needs to go away… as do most of my crafty things… I’m trying to figure out how to sell items… just as soon as I finish them!

Sunflower Table Video
You’ve all heard the story by now. Megan’s childhood table was sanded by her, wood burned/painted/stained/poly’d by me. She chalk painted the base to match her kitchen wall. It’s done. Enjoy the process!
A New Life
Last year, a friend passed along a cute little old stool… wooden top, metal legs… beat up, scarred, bent just a little out of shape. I saw something though… and piled it on top of my “to-do” craft pile. The burn marks, the scratches, the old metal… I sanded the top lightly, leaving the major…
Big Project
I don’t know if this is the time of year to be starting this… cow work will soon consume much of our time… but with the weather warming up, I can work on this out in the shop without freezing to death! Megan has asked me to wood burn her dining table! Initially, we discussed…

Going For Gift
Finally, I get to share! My gift has arrived and now I can show my latest woodburning project. It began as a recycled wood sign. I sanded off the brown paint, and gave myself a new canvas. I expected more of a pine board, but it is a hardwood, I believe… and it wasn’t that…
Secret
I’m just about to finish a secret project… it’s been taking a fair amount of time. However, it’s for a friend, so until it’s completed, packaged, shipped, and arrives… I can’t fully share. It’s so hard to keep it a secret, just because I love sharing the step by step photos, but I think you’re…
Tray… ta-da!
A couple of months ago, my best friend found a wooden tray at, I think, a garage sale… Knowing about all my woodburning that I do, she gave it to me, saying… “maybe do something for me…” So I did. I finally gave it back to her, for her birthday present. Of course, I was…

Wet Days
For the month of May, my rain gauge is reading 4.11”! We’re not done yet, either. Oh, well… After dishes and some laundry, I used the grey morning to work on my table… Originally, I had planned on woodburning something on the legs… but I’m behind on my gift making and I need to finish…
Table Sides
I’ll take a short break from branding, and share the latest photos from my woodburned and painted table. It’s coming along! I’ve almost completed the sides. I realized I totally forgot a block just yesterday. There will be a light stain on the bare wood. I will paint the legs, give it an acrylic finish,…
