🖐🏻 Five more days until I'm back at Bow & Arrow full time and I'm reeeeally looking forward to allowing myself some time for creative exploration. You can look forward to prolific progress posting in my stories once again 😂

Butter knives for Segovia's Sourdough & Caramelized Butter 🥰
I better get myself down there to try it soon! There's a few extra Walnut knives up for grabs for those of you who want to experience their awesomeness from the comfort of your own home. Send me a DM or wait for me to let you know when I've updated the online store.

The last of these three just flew the coop✌🏻 Thanks Erika and I hope your guests are delighted when they see this piece waiting in their room when they stay with you! ❤️
.
Also, sorry to Gillian (or more likely your welcome😂) who bought the first two and was exercising restraint on this last pale pink one. Don't worry though, I know you are watching ALL my IG stories and you'll see something you can't live without really soon 😁 There's a few fun ones in the works 😉

Reimagining furniture with care, consideration, and creativity. That's our jam 🙌🏻

One of my favorite things to hear from people when they come into the store is that "it feels so good in here!" It's hard to quantify what makes a space feel that way though. Some people intuitively create spaces for people to enjoy and feel comfortable, others go to school and study how to combine design elements to put people at ease. For me: I have a hodge podge of education that has brought me to where I am.
.
I'm a college drop out (fine arts.) A former division 1 volleyball player. A semi retired hairstylist. A trained furniture maker. And the proprietor of a preposterous imagination 🤪
.
All these elements with help/support from friends & family have built this business. Every thing I have side tracked on has taught me something valuable that I take into my business today. My mind is always at least 10 years ahead of my body with it's ambition, but I remember to be grateful for the humble beginnings that are happening right now 🙏🏻
.
This is the entry hallway to the showroom on Westminster ❤️ I can't wait for you to come down, introduce yourself, and let me show & tell about the wood wares and workspace 😊 Open today (Friday) until 7 pm.

Have a fabulous and safe long weekend ✌🏻

Wood on wood, in wood, on wood
.
To be more specific :
▪️Raven carving is made from a piece of Ebony that I was gifted from an anonymous friend. You know who you are and thank you for that 👈🏻
▪️The shavings are from the rocking horse I recently finished. Check a few posts back if you missed it! I bought the wood for the rocking horse project from this client's store @johnerswindsorplywood 🥰 so, I'm recycling materials and returning something to them.
▪️Branded packaging is made from scrap pieces of Baltic birch plywood from around the shop that I scavenged 😅 I also had a lot of help from @morganfest designing the box to be laser cut... and will likely ask for more help in the near future *heads up fella 🤟🏻
▪️Evergreen branches are clippings from the yard that need to be brought to city compost 🥀

Thanks for all the love on this one in the DMs from my stories 🙏🏻 I appreciate and am motivated by your kind words! I love what I do ❤️ I am grateful for your audience and the carving commissions that are coming my way 😊

Shortened showroom hours today :
1-7pm 😁

It's been a whirlwind month so far for me. I stepped onto a film set to help a friend out with hair (my former career) for the better part of the month. Yesterday /Today was wrap day and I'm writing this at 6 am as I'm about hit the hay 😴
.
I had an amazing time and met some super interesting people, but I missed my business 💔 obviously I couldn't keep my mouth shut and I brought some stuff in for show & tell. I am so happy to say that the spoon on the right has found a new home with the leading lady 😊 The divinity spoon waited just over a year to find the right person to take her home. .
The whole experience of working on so reminded me that what I focus on will grow. When I do hair, I have so much experience that I am in my comfort zone but with wood I still have so much to learn! The only way I can do that is by dedicating more time to it. But first... Sleep 💤

Doing my best to give science a helping hand.

Fertility treatments for my sister are now being supervised by this cute little fertility goddess I made her. My inspiration for this one was my Mennonite grandma Krahn. She had 9 children and was a cute, plump little woman. If that's not a perfect inspiration, then I don't know what is.
.
Send all your good vibes to my big sis as she goes through treatments to bring a bundle of love into our lives ❤️
