Woodcraft

I got back from San Francisco last night. I was pretty stiff, exhausted, and happy to be home after the 11-hour drive (the longest solo drive I’ve ever done), but the city really did treat me well while I was there. Renegade SF When I started my business over four years ago, I swore up […]

It’s been way too long since I added anything new, but apparently the winter/early spring just passed by in a haze of barbecue baking, kindergartener schlepping, half-marathon training, and Friday Night Lights binge watching. Or something like that. But here […]

Remember that big batch of new lumber I got a couple weeks ago? Well, the first few cutting and serving boards made from that material are finished and in my Etsy shop. If you sort shop inventory by “most recent”, you can find these boards (with the exception of a few black walnut ones) at […]

I love Thanksgiving. It’s really my kind of holiday: lots of food, family, and pirate bingo (a strange, multi-generational family tradition). We’re heading out on Wednesday morning to meet up with my mom’s family in Northern California for our annual five-day Thanksgiving extravaganza. It’s going to be pretty great.   Black Friday is something I’m […]

Summer is a busy time in general, but lately, I’ve been working hard, finishing off quite a few new cutting and serving boards for my Etsy shop Red Onion Woodworks. I recently went over to my wood supplier‘s place and picked out a large pile of lumber for my next batch of boards. Hopefully that […]
