🎶What a difference
Some stain makes🎶

It's actually poly but that doesn't flow as well with the melody 🤷🏻‍♂️ Walnut tables in refinishing are coming along nicely

When a toddler asks for a birdhouse, I make her a birdhouse 🐦🏠

The underside of the desk before it gets cleaned up, I use caulk to keep the epoxy where it belongs

Pouring the epoxy for the Japanese Elm Desk. Very excited to see how this turns out

Tall bookshelves in a short shop!

The wave pattern on these embossed pieces are making me want to dip my toe in the ocean. Rubio Intense Black with Rubio Charcoal.

What to do with off-cuts? Make a little sword for the world's best toddler. How else is she supposed to learn?

Shadows made this a little tough to photograph so I tried a few different angles. Red oak fabric/paper hanging ladder.

Kitchen helper stand for the resident helpful toddler! Cherry and maple.

Very, very pleased with these built-in ash bookshelves I built and installed for a client. You're looking at 94 sq. ft. of handmade bookspace. Stain is intense black with charcoal monocoat.

Shop is a little full at the moment...getting ready to make some deliveries.

Loving the woodgrain on this cherry piece I'm using. Just gorgeous 🍒🪵

Safety first! Trying to keep all 10 fingers attached and intact.

Getting creative clamping up the edge banding on a maple sidebar base. Sorry I'm so bad at posting here, I get caught up in the woodworking and kind of forget social media exists. 🙃

Happy Pride from KnifexMallet! (And )

Finally got my brand! Still figuring out the heating but it came out pretty nice

Cherry nightstand top with a coat of Pure. Brings out the grain so freaking nicely

Upping my game! Just got these bad boys printed up, getting ready to put them out into the world. Then back to making sawdust.

This was one of my biggest builds to date, the finished system consisted of 4 modular shelves that can stack or mount side-by-side. the smaller system is 5’ wide and the larger is 6’ with an 8’ overall height. This bad boy could max out at 54 Drona cubes and is as sturdy as can be. Red Oak finished with pure… I’m gonna need a bigger can!

Pikler triangle! "The Pikler triangle is a climbing structure that children learn to navigate on at their own pace. The Pikler triangle allows children to explore their body, learn their own boundaries and respond to their climbing needs."

I built this as a surprise for my 15 month old daughter (and my wife who was especially glad it folds up). Birch dowels and red oak.

It's now easier to email KnifexMallet

The installation of the first of four floating modular shelf systems. These were designed to fit the ever popular Ikea Drona style cubes (among other things). The final system can hold 54 cubes if one were so inclined! Make from red oak and finished with pure

Progress pics - raimbow Pikler triangle commission for an ambitious toddler!

Red oak and Rubio pure are a great combo, staged for a custom shelf install

New logo!

Current project-window unit catpartment.

Et voilà! One totally custom red oak craft desk with hinged lid and storage. intense black with charcoal monocoat for everything but the lid which is clear Rubio. Tapered chamfers on the inner corners of the legs. Very very very pleased with this piece!

Glued and clamped up a red oak craft desk for . It's going to have craft storage under the hinged lid.

Custom cherry floating shelves stained with gloss polyurethane to match the bedframe. Installing these was a real challenge-anyone who's ever tried to put a French cleat on a West Philly wall knows what I'm talking about. Houses in his part of the world don't come with 90° angles-they make you work for it. Ultimately, I'm really really pleased with how they came out (and so is the client, which is what's most important!). Got a nice pen groove in there as well 🙂

Custom black walnut monitor stand with understorage spacing. Really beautiful burl on the wood, finished with clear .
