A gift for my sister this Christmas. This live-edge turned oak bowl I made for my sis features a hand carved and painted with color shifting paint band. A shot of the “before” pic when it was just a block of wood included below.

A first from the wood shop, but this is a second attempt at a live-edge wood bowl. The first was thick and wobbly - not great. Grabbed a chunk of oak from the firewood out back and this came out.

Quite awhile back, my Uncle Billy started some trees from seeds he saved from an apple he was eating. He started them in styrofoam cups until they were big enough to transfer to pots and eventually he planted them in my brother’s yard of his new house. Those trees stood for quite a while producing fruit and reminding us of our since passed beloved uncle. A few years ago a storm took out a big part of one of the trees so I asked my brother for a few limbs so I could fashion him some sort of keepsake. Made from the apple wood from Uncle Billy’s trees…

Special projects like this are my favorite. On a recent trip to London, KY to visit McHargue Mill (my wife’s McHargue lineage) I was sent a limb from an oak tree that had been a victim of spring tornados. The tree is shown on the right in the black and white pic when the Mill was moved to its current place in 1939. Pictured again on the right for the Mill’s 85th birthday in 2024. The other Mill pic shows the tree blown over and resting on top of the Mill in April 2025. Historian and our guide for the day, Ron Nicholas, mailed me a few limbs from the old oak and I fashioned the Mill a few knives as a keepsake. As Ron says, “This tree has been witness to all the activities of McHargue Mill and watched over it for 86 years until a tornado laid it over on the top of the Mill doing no damage at all.” So honored to make these knives as a memorial to this piece
