Michelle and I decided to invest in some semi-dry suits so we could enjoy paddling and sailing year-round. There’s something truly epic about kayaking in coastal Rhode Island in December while a winter storm makes its way up the coast. Worth every penny!

My latest creation: a large coffee table made with highly figured maple harvested just over the border in Connecticut. Finished with shellac, waterlox, and wax. The amazing bowl on the coffee table is by and I think it’s bog/swamp maple. I’ll post some detail shots next.

Happy New Year everyone! I have quite a few new furniture projects underway this winter while I wait for warmer weather to add the finishing touches to the sailboat. In the meantime I’d like to share the fireplace and mantle that I finished up right before Thanksgiving. Check the last photo for the comparison with the inspiration photo Michelle tore from a magazine for me to reference. Next upgrade to the living room will be built-in bookshelves and a bench!

Starting to look a bit more like a workshop! Just a few more things to tidy up while I wait for the electricians to upgrade our panel. I’ve got some beautiful redwood and claro walnut burls calling my name and a new workbench to be made…

First peek at the new shop I’m setting up in our new home in Charlestown, Rhode Island! I’ve been super busy the past month renovating the living room and fireplace (posts to come) but am sneaking away here and there to get the workshop in working state.

Sailboat update: she’s almost done! My wife and I sold our house in Upstate NY and are in the process of moving to southern Rhode Island. As a result, the boat had to take a back seat for a little while :( fortunately I’ve been able to work on it here and there and all that’s left to do is some layers of paint and varnish. We’re looking forward to her first sail in the waters near Great Island and Galilee!
