Won this 1966 Schwinn Breeze in an auction last weekend. It was really, really dirty but after a good cleaning, she is looking almost new. All the original parts are working fine.

New soap News! Inspired by Ricola and their famed herbaceous alpine blend. I added Honey for extra lather, Menthol, for a refreshing wash, Bee pollen, Lemon peel and pink Himalayan salt for fun! Smells like Lemongrass with notes of Lavender and Sage.

Another blast from the past, a pair of matching side tables made of ribbon striped sapele and walnut.

Of all the pub tables I’ve built over the years, this one is my favorite. I built this about 5 years ago for a home bar client. It’s made of quartered sapele and mottled kosipo.

Here’s a project from a couple years ago. Built in mahogany and ebonized sapele cabinets with double mitered doors and mahogany crotch raised panels. The open fixed shelving is for vinyl storage.
