This was made of 1095 steel for the blade, an ebony handle with mother of pearl inlay. It was hand forged and hand finished.

This tool is called a pinking chisel. It's used to cut out scalloped embellishments in garments. It was a fairly simple forging with hand filed edge.

I finished this chainmail shirt a short while ago for my young pup. He seems to be enjoying it.

I'm still playing catch-up with my posts.
Here is a fireplace shovel I was asked to make. It was a relatively simple construction.

A hand plane knob installed on a jack plane. The knob is made from a red-hued exotic species and it is shaped by hand with rasps.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but shaping a hand plane knob by hand with rasps is a lot of work! I wish the stock was a little thicker, but this is what I had to work with. #handtool #woodworking #madeinvirginia
History has never looked so brick-tastic!

An ice cream scoop with a custom black walnut handle.
I figured if I'm doing woodworking I might as well have an ice cream scoop handle I made myself. Just in time for ice cream season! I have some pawpaws in the freezer waiting to be turned into ice cream. Some family is coming and I can't wait to introduce them to it. #woodworking #madeinvirginia
An oak tissue box cover with the sliding door partially open.
An oak tissue box cover on a coffee table.
I finally finished this oak tissue box cover for my brother in law. The bottom slides open to accept the tissue box. This was originally going to be a Christmas present. ๐ฌ Maybe it's an early present instead of a late present?

A minimalist oak picture frame with a subtle molding profile of a small chamfer on the inside and a larger chamfer on the outside. Finished with tung oil.
My barber recently spun off and started her own shop, and she asked me to make her a frame for her "first dollar ever made" so we swapped a picture for a haircut. It made me happy to see how excited she was when she saw it ๐ #woodworking #madeinvirginia

This is a combination rushlight used to burn either a candle or a rush. A rush is a plant that would be soaked in fat.

This is a hanging candle holder or loom light as it's sometimes called. It's 18th c. inspired. Mine fits well off a door.

I made some simple candlesticks. It's a basic cup with nail combination. I used Applewood for the base I got from my dad.

This pair of shutterdogs are inspired by early examples and are used to hold shutters open.

New State mugs are in the works here in the studio for our #indieme shop

Hmmm... I wonder what this will be?

It's knot tying time!
I like to tie the new warp in when possible. It saves strain on my posture, saves time, and decreases loom waste.
If you look carefully you can see the two separate warps for the Moorman technique.

The very start of the most recent piece to come off the table loom - Moorman technique, cotton warps and background weft, hand spun wool art yarn for pattern weft.
