Hope you all are staying healthy. When this mess is all over with, I’m looking forward to eating at in Atlanta. I had a chance to collaborate with on a couple of really neat projects in this diner within the art-deco style building that once housed the Atlanta Dairies - truly a top notch new urban renewal project.

These 9 foot white oak French doors look pretty stunning in Wonderkid’s event space- the Rainbow Room. Each door has two sets of stainless steel rings fabricated by and dark tempered glass. There were a lot of parts involved with these doors and needless to say I am a little envious of those with tall shops.

This is a hard time for everyone, and I’m thankful for the health of my family and the time is spending watching our son while pursuing a PhD so I can continue to work at my shop. Safe journey out there! @ Wonderkid

Tonight is a celebration of one of the most joyous types: a fundraiser for Extra Special People . Each year they pack out the Classic Center to raise money for their summer camp for children with disabilities. I’ve had the opportunity to attend and it is really a tearful and overwhelming event. There is a pageant and really this organization does so much for not only our community but is spreading their love around the country. The theme for tonight’s gala is Big Hearts In Bloom. Here is my contribution to their silent auction, it’s a 48” x 24” reclaimed wood wall art. The “flower” is from an old hand drill that fell apart, and some brass hemispheres. I’m including the link in my profile of this auction if anyone is so inclined to learn more about this.

I’m pretty floored seeing some of the slick photos of Chuck’s Fish here in downtown Athens. pulled off a pretty magical blend of mid century futurism to transform this historic Greyhound Bus Station. It’s a solid Win for Athens that this building did not get torn down. I’m so glad that the nearly 30 tabletops I fabricated play a small part in this unicorn of a building. 📷: Tucker Alford

Here’s some process pics of a cool project happening in the shop these days. I bought the Mega Flush Trim bit and am finding it to be of really high quality for the price.
