Caleb was featured in the digital magazine “Voyage Minnesota” today! Check it out and let us know what you think!

Conversations with Caleb Jordan - Voyage Minnesota Magazine Today we’d like to introduce you to Caleb Jordan. Hi Caleb, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory. My woodworking journey started by accident! My wife and I were shopping one day and she saw a console table she “had to have.” Bei...

The summer wedding season was one for the books! Not only did wedding orders pick up, but each order was extra special knowing how long these brides and grooms had been waiting to celebrate with their loved ones!

Thank goodness for customers that take great finished product photos because we never seem to remember! Now that spring is making its arrival, I’m confident this cabin kitchen island is getting a lot of use by family and friends! This ash island adds lots of extra storage and counter space while still fitting in with look and style of the cabin!

One year ago today I took a before picture of my office (😬🥴) after asking Caleb to build a cabinet for storage in that space! Because of quarantine he was able to build it quickly and I’ve been able to enjoy this space so much more in the last year (and it looks MUCH better in the background of my zoom meetings)! It’s still my favorite piece that he has built!

If you’re in Alexandria, definitely capitalize on this new year by checking out Cutting Edge Pilates! This custom desk was created for our sweet friend who is doing BIG things to support the health and wellness of her community through her love and expertise of Pilates! The studio looks amazing and we can’t wait to hear about the amazing things that happen here this year!

We hope this kitchen table has settled in nicely in its new home! The table and bench are ash with rubio monocoat oil in chocolate (our first time using this)! It looks gorgeous and this oil finish smells surprisingly good (can’t believe I just said that).

Thankful for friends of friends who reached out to have us do this custom order for their beautiful living room! These faux built ins got delivered a few weeks ago. We can now add stylish dog kennel to our list of creations!

A few more completed projects in the wild! Thank goodness these customers sent finished product photos, these look wayyyy better than our dirty garage in the background!

This kitchen island got installed a couple of weeks ago (or longer, what month is it even?!). This ash top is walnut gel stain and looks beautiful in person! We hope this piece makes the perfect addition to their kitchen to gather around with family and friends!

We’ve seen an increase in the last few weeks for wedding decor! While it seems like most people are choosing small celebrations now and planning a big bash for 2021, we’re still grateful to be able to create things to make both events special!

First time making a kitchen table, what do you think?! Thanks to this table, Caleb now has a bee in his bonnet for creating more! This ash top is stained in early american and includes 2 end extensions making it perfect for hosting a house full of people (post covid)!

Finished up a custom order last week, this desk and a matching massive cabinet (of course I don’t have a picture 🤦🏻‍♀️)! This is an ash top and walnut stain (hard to tell in my filtered photos 🤷🏻‍♀️) and it is solid! Hopefully a few other custom pieces will be delivered this week - stay tuned!

Happy Father’s Day to the maker behind literally every project that comes out of this shop! He works hard and we couldn’t be more thankful for him! We’ve also had such great role models to look up to! Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

Loving how the dresser and shelves look in their new home! This was our first attempt at a dresser and it was a labor of love for the shop perfectionist who redid the drawer faces multiple times 🤷🏻‍♀️! But it was totally worth it and now we’re trying to find space for one in our own home!

Big day over here! These 5 pieces got out of our garage and into their new homes! Each of them have slightly different features which makes it fun to see them all together! We started using gel stain on the tops and LOVE how beautiful they turned out!

One of the early quarantine projects for our house is finally being shared! Caleb made this cabinet and photo shelf for my office and let me tell you...it hides so.much.stuff!

Finished up a couple of barn door consoles this week and more than a little excited to finally be able to take picture outside (and out of the dirty garage)!

After nearly two years of having a very small Etsy shop, and the last year that became much busier with woodworking projects, wedding creations, Pinterest projects and anything under the sun, we’ve finally set up a page! We would love if you would give it a like/follow/share it/whatever you feel inclined to do! Many thanks - Caleb & Kami

We even impressed ourselves with how this pair of nightstands turned out! This was our first real attempt at drawers!

Custom cubbies for a friend opening their new in home daycare! We know these will get lots of use from kiddos searching for their favorite toys!

We attempted a new take on a cardbox that a customer wanted for their wedding! Turned out cute, but the box we rigged to ship it in was another story.

Caleb has been busy in the shop (formerly known as the garage) this winter! He recently finished this king bed frame and end table for a friend! (Someday we’ll take better “after” photos 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Up North MN shop updated their business hours.

Always fun when we get to create signs for our family and friends! Someday maybe we’ll make one for our own house! 🤷🏻‍♀️
