A customer came to us requesting that we make him four chess boards as Christmas gifts for his grandchildren and that we engrave Grandpa Bruce on his side of one of the boards. Making chess boards was a new endeavor for us, but a welcomed challenge. We were well pleased with the outcome, especially for our first attempt. These chess boards are made of a walnut and ash veneer over a plywood substrate, framed with walnut, and finished with satin polyurethane.

A customer came to us requesting a cookbook holder. We did some designing and testing and came up with this product. We made this batch out of locally and sustainably sourced cherry and walnut. We fit an iron hinge on it as a stand and fabricated an adjustable walnut kickstand to ensure the base doesn’t slip out. The kickstand is fitted with a small magnet so it sticks to the back of the holder when you want it to stay up. We put a leather pad on the bottom of both the holder and the iron base to make sure neither scratches counter surfaces. We also attached two metal chains to hold the pages of the cookbook open.

Not only are they highly functional, they’re gorgeous and would be a beautiful addition to any chef or baker’s kitchen.
