Old Wood, New Use

Full time RV’rs & Artisans sharing functional live edge wood creations as we travel the USA. I am happy to share my thoughtful, functional creations with you.

I've been working with wood for most of my life and I love creating things for people to enjoy. From bookcases to bottle openers, cutting boards to checker boards, I love making things! I try to utilize local, reclaimed wood when possible but I also use exotic woods and local hardwoods with live edge for variety and contrast. I can custom build many of my pieces to your specifications, please ask!

My wife and I moved to the Pacific Northwest 4 years ago to be near our Grandchildren. In addition to our family time, I also enjoy fly fishing, kayaking, hiking, playing the drums, and exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Thank you for your interest.

Love this artwork from and their Birdwatcher Cider with Peaches! Tart, with a slight peach flavor & not sweet! Just wish there was a T-Shirt with their name & Gettysburg on it and I would advertise for them! 🤣🤣

Some days we just chill at camp; work on our hobbies, read, take walks,etc. Other days we kayak for that peaceful easy floating feeling!

Downtown Gettysburg PA for birthday shopping & cider tasting at (cucumber, chokecherry & apple, all local; so good!) Next fabulous lunch at Tavern with a special pride month cocktail and salmon soaked in a corned beef brine; definitely the most unusual & tasty sandwich I’ve ever had! Dedicated fryer with a good gf menu, made my day. Great jazz music outside to enjoy before the “severe” thunderstorm hit us! Cheers to another trip around the sun!

A lovely wine tasting at this afternoon. We enjoyed all that we tasted but came home with a bottle of “2023 Old Line Chardonnay” which we both liked. It just won a blind taste test in Lodi, CA! Our Server, Tanya was fun to talk to, being from the SF Bay Area like us! Cheers!

It’s been raining for days now so we’ve been watching movies & relaxing, but found a couple of cool antique stores. in Gettysburg is tucked away in the Outlet stores but worth the visit. Spent a rainy afternoon exploring Mt. Gretna, an artisan community, including where we had an excellent root beer float & hot fudge Sunday. Finally the rain stopped and we took a hike on the Lebanon Rail-to-Trail, where they used to have a narrow gauge passenger train. Lots of history in PA. Good to get outside and move; to see a deer, cardinal, wildflowers and so much green!

What a gorgeous location in Leesburg, VA at and their cider . Easy access off of Hwy 15, just a few miles and so beautiful and quiet! The facilities are a perfect event venue for weddings, anniversaries, or any special occasion. Buildings from 1908 have been renovated and modernized for the comfort of guests. We had a lovely tour and got to know the Hosts a bit. If you’re in the area, we highly recommend. Plus the cider rocks!

Thanks to our amazing Son-in-law for packing a couple of beers in his luggage, both arriving safely in Virginia for me to enjoy!

“Virginia is for Lovers” and history! We toured the Thomas Jefferson retreat or vacation home, Poplar Forest near Lynchburg. The octagon shape, simplicity of the design and size of only 2,200 sq. ft. make it quite unique; he was definitely a brilliant man and one before his time. He had slaves but treated them well, unlike so many others. Despite the rain, we went on to the “Old City Cemetery” where the black population (slaves) are buried along with a section for Confederate Soldiers. ❤️
