Constantly thinking of new ideas

As an Aquarius, overthinking is nothing new for me—it’s practically second nature. Recently, I found myself reflecting on some of the designs tucked away in my idea books. While many of them are quite simple, I’ve always been drawn to creating pieces that stand out as truly unique. That’s why I gravitate toward marquetry art.

I’m currently considering taking a very straightforward cabinet design and elevating it by adding marquetry to the doors. The only question now is what kind of pattern I should choose for the marquetry. It’s an exciting creative challenge, and I’m eager to see where my imagination takes me next.

Unique Wooden Benches from the Puget Sound: Japanese Influence, Inlay, and Marquetry


This is what I call the “dream bench”—a design that came to me in the early hours of the morning, as inspiration often does when my mind finally gets a break from commission work and I can focus on my own ideas. Looking back at my designs, I realize how much I’m influenced by Japanese architecture. While I haven’t had the chance to visit Japan, living in the Puget Sound area of the Pacific Northwest—an area with deep historical ties to Japan—has certainly shaped my aesthetic.

To date, I’ve created only three of these benches. Two are out in the world: one holds a client’s loved one’s ashes in the sphere, and the other is with a client whose current whereabouts I’m not certain of. The original walnut bench remains in my home.

I’m excited to share that I’m planning to make another version of this bench, this time incorporating inlay or marquetry. Stay tuned for updates!

The unveiling

I just unveiled my door, and I couldn’t be happier with how the veneer turned out! I’m seriously thinking about getting a vacuum bag system because I can see myself diving into more veneering projects down the line. My mind is already swirling with fresh pattern ideas. It’s a great reminder to keep learning and exploring new things!

Update on the cherry record storage cabinet .

Hey everyone! I was planning to create a video for this build, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I fell behind on my commissions. Instead, I’ll be sharing a photo journal of the process. Most of the joinery in this build involves 1/2″ dados and tenons, along with my usual half-blind dovetails. I’ve also added some inlay to enhance the simplicity of the design. The bottom is currently clamped and will be attached after I sand and finish it, as well as the case.

Coffee table build part one

I’ve begun working on my latest commission, which is a coffee table designed to showcase buckles. In this video, I’m demonstrating how I create the legs. To watch the full video visit my Patreon channel

This is an update I am working on the drawer at this point. I have all the details on the outside and it is ready to age. I use a different process that ages the pice in about a half hour using a water based product that brings the tannons out and darkens the wood.
