Toy Chest

I had an idea awhile ago to make a toy chest for my niece and I finally had a chance to make it in time for her third birthday.

I used old floor boards from Reclaim Detroit for the walls and lid and hand-carved her initials on the front.

Pencil Holders

I’ve been making pencil holders using the scrap ends of boards that would otherwise go un-used.

You can find them at the Etsy store here.

Pencils in the photo are from City Bird in Detroit.

After months of being sidetracked by life, I finally finished my kitchen island.

All materials are from what was once 6400 Trumbull in Detroit and were finished using Swilley’s All-Natural Wood Rub.

The stool seen in the top picture came from an auction at Southwestern High School in Detroit.
