Just wrapped up this special, custom walnut prayer kneeler.
⁠
Made from solid walnut with a padded leather kneeler, it features a carved Auspice Maria on top. We don’t get a lot of orders like this, so it was a real treat to bring it to life!
⁠
The carving was done on our CNC, and we love how the detail turned out in the grain of the wood. It’s the perfect addition to our client’s walnut bookshelves we shared a few weeks ago!

Gotta shout out ! I bought this 23 gauge pin nailer a month or two back and finally have a chance to put it through its paces. It’s been an absolute champ putting all this hardwood edge banding on our next walnut project. It’s always a puckering process when you’re putting pin nails into finished wood because they have a tendency to blow out (especially if you don’t pay attention to grain direction) and this thing has been amazing. No air hose to deal with and can’t wait to use it on installs!

After raising four kids in this home, my parents finally got to enjoy a kitchen remodel that reflects the life they’ve built—and the craftsmanship I’ve grown into.

This solid walnut kitchen table was an absolute joy to create for them. Custom built to seat four, it anchors their newly renovated space in the heart of , .

The base features sculpted curves that highlight the natural figure of the walnut, with a cross-braced foot for stability and subtle detail. The top is finished with for a rich sheen that’s family-friendly and built to last.

A special project for a special place—one that means more with every meal shared.
