Personalized Wooden Love Birds

Personalized lovey dovey barn wood birds~ customized with your initials and date on each.

A request came in, some time last week for our handmade barn wood love birds, but the couple wanted them engraved/burned. A sweet idea for a couples wedding day gift, or to use as decoration on the table at the wedding reception and of course to take home and keep forever.

Our country rustic wooden love birds have an extra special place in my heart because the pattern used to make them came from my grandmother Jenny’s quilt templates, that I have saved for years. It’s truely a pleasure to make something from the heart. You can find our birds here, ready for your customization!

Walnut Commission

Back in the Spring I custom sawed 4700 board feet of Walnut into two, three and four inch thicknesses for a client to begin building various pieces of furniture. This began an exploration in the process of harvesting furniture grade lumber. Bookmatching and disection of figured wood was just the beginning, properly kiln dring the lumber was quite a task. I have recently received the first 1000 board feet out of the kiln and have begun the first piece, which is a dinning room table, 9 feet long and 43 inches wide with a 3″ thick top. Live edge, bookmatched with a 27″ crotch mirrored on one end. Pictures of the process soon to follow.
