This morning I sat down with my friend and fellow maker, Justyn LeGraw, to dream up something special — a pair of rocking chairs that will carry scenes from The Nightmare Before Christmas in hand-cut marquetry.

We laid out the veneers, talked through the rhythm of the imagery, and studied the tones of each wood — maple, walnut, rosewood — each one with its own voice. The goal is to let the story live in the grain itself, not just on the surface.

It’s the kind of collaboration I love — where craft meets imagination, and wood becomes a canvas for something timeless. 🌙🪵✨
