🪵📚 WOOD TALK FROM MIDDLE OF THE WOOD 📚🪵

Sometimes being a craftsman means sharing information that may go against long-standing traditions or common beliefs.

You may have heard that oak should never be used for food prep or serving items because its open pores can harbor bacteria. That idea has been repeated for years in woodworking circles, and it is one that we continue to support.

Our goal isn’t to ruffle feathers — it’s to educate, learn, and help customers make informed decisions. Building trust matters more than simply repeating what “everyone has always said.”

As makers, we believe understanding the why behind materials matters. Different woods have different characteristics, uses, strengths, and limitations. We love sharing that knowledge so you can make the best decisions for your home and your family.

We’re not just building projects — we’re building relationships and trust. ❤️

🏡✨ HELP US DECIDE ✨🏡

As some of you know, our home was built in 1856 and carries that beautiful Victorian Italianate character we’ve grown to love. ❤️

We recently played around with some ideas for updating the front porch and columns to something a little more era-appropriate and detailed for the home’s history. 🪵🛠️

Now we need YOUR opinions! 👇

🅰️ Keep the cleaner, simpler current porch style
🅱️ Lean into the more ornate Victorian-era porch with decorative trim and detailed columns

We genuinely can’t decide which direction fits this old beauty best. 🤔🏠

Drop your vote below:
👍 = Current Simpler Style
❤️ = Detailed Victorian Style

Bonus points if you leave thoughts, ideas, or inspiration photos in the comments! 📸✨

I’m grateful for my cancer.

Yes. You read that right.

Can I be completely transparent? Yes I have an incurable cancer that has more questions than answers.

BUT the community of Urbana, the community of Middle of the Wood, and my personal little tribe .. they all give me daily reminders of how supported and loved my bride and I actually are. And the majority of that has come through our cancer journey.

Thank you. To everyone that has supported us. Not only through supporting our business but also supporting our spiritual health.

I pray I’m able to impact others lives like you all have for us.

Much love,
Andy

P.S. someone was serenading me
