Still working late... but now in silence. 🌙🤫
This whisper-quiet lathe is a game changer.
And yes... enough carving mills for the rest of the week! 😂

Back in the workshop creating two custom orders for two of my favorite customers in Invermere.

One beautiful heart-shaped cutting board and one 16-inch handcrafted spoon, both made from solid wood, one piece at a time. No shortcuts, no glue, just honest craftsmanship built to last.

A big thank you to Wood Cache for always supplying beautiful lumber, and to Arbortech Tools for making incredible tools that make my work easier and help bring my ideas to life.

And of course, thank you to Invermere Food & Artisans Market for giving us the opportunity to meet amazing customers who truly appreciate handmade craftsmanship. Without markets like yours, stories like these wouldn't exist.

Every custom piece has a story, and I'm grateful to be trusted to make something that will become part of someone's home for years to come.

People see the spoons, the cutting boards, the bowls, and the finished products.

What they don’t see is the other half of this business.

If you make it, you have to sell it.

That means being ready mentally and physically, every single market.

Load. Drive. Unload. Set up. Rain. Wind. Heat.

Smile all day.

Then pack everything up, load it again, drive home… and do it all over again.

Again.
And again.
And again.

This is the part no one sees, but every market vendor knows it by heart. 🪵💪
