Custom box # 1 complete. Maple with walnut accents and some custom artwork from talented wife.

The figure on this birdseye maple is pretty nice. Backside of some Xmas gifts. No spoilers...

Two new custom pieces finished.

Another custom table approaching completion. A bit more sanding then some finish. This one was made from a piece of maple that was destined for the burn pile. Needed a lot of work but I love salvaging beautiful slabs like this.

Birdseye maple groom box for horse tack. Latest addition to our line of groom boxes. There are only 4 of these limited edition beauties so get them while they last. Click link to place an order.

Small side table we are working on.

Finished restoring this dress or for my son. It was my father-in-laws then my wife's, then our nephew and now after a complete overhaul, it is my son's. Very happy with how this turned out and amazed at how long it lasted from a structural perspective.

And the boys desk is complete. How many 10 year olds get a spalted/curly maple desk?

The Boy’s desk is coming along.

First cuts with CNC plasma cutter. Crossfire Pro. Only had it for 9 months before I finally got around to using it.

Some amazing grain on this piece. Can’t wait I have it done

New live edge bathroom vanity in progress...

Another custom board completed. Very much enjoy these horseshoe boards.

Another custom table started. Lots of work to do on this one. Already sealed with penetrating epoxy and rough sanded. Now to fill in the copious cracks and voids. Customer wants to see into the voids so some deep pour clear is on deck. # customfurtiture .

Time to deliver the boxes

Love the . Makes finger joints simple and repeatable. 12 groom boxes in process.

Quick mineral spirits peek at the table top. Looking great! Custom branded tables available. DM me if you are interested!

Not too shabby for the underside of this table. Wait till you see the top!

Start them young

Got two 8’ x 24” x 11/4 slabs of maple for a 3/bf. They have some ring shake but nothing some epoxy cannot fix. These will be the first in a line of logo bar tables we are making. Let us know if you need a custom table for your business. We can ship flat packs as well.

Custom logo tables now available.

Prepping for a major shop upgrade. Taking over the rest of the garage (apologies to my wife who will no longer fit her car in the garage... ever). Adding a drum sander and probably a cnc plasma cutter. Going to build an assembly/out feed table and a new workbench. .

Onward may not be the official theme of this show but it is appropriate. It is a chance for these retired racehorses to move Onward from the track and I to new lives. It is also appropriate for me personally. After years of addiction I am finally moving Onward from my alcoholism. 13+ months dry now. Has not been easy but I am here. If you need help moving Onward, please reach out.

Come see us at Thoroughbred Makeover! We’re at booth 44 in the covered arena with lots of books, new thoroughbred art and this gorgeous sign handcrafted by Bird Brain Woodworking!

We’re also thrilled to have such a great view of the show. Good luck to all of the competitors!

25 lbs should make some of my new wood oil blend I think. 100% natural, food safe and great smelling. Stay tuned.

Working on the next sign project while the family and deal with the trifecta of COVID infections. Damn thing kicked out butts. Be safe out there

One of the pieces I am working on for an upcoming art show I am calling The Beauty of Rot.

Come visit us at the Dayton Horse Show this week! We’ll be there Thursday through Saturday with art, new signs and some other beautiful products made by Bird Brain Woodworking.

We’re down to one last horseshoe charcuterie board. We do have plenty of our new cheese boards as well as a serving board with matching wine caddy handmade by Bird Brain Woodworking.

New display stand

Presentation is everything

Think it might be time to stop for today. I have cost me quite enough for one day.
