This bowl started as reclaimed wood and ended up as something useful and beautiful for the home.

The grain and figure you see weren't added in the shop—they were already hidden inside the wood waiting to be uncovered.

At about 9½" in diameter, it's a good size for a coffee table, kitchen island, or entry table.

One of the things I enjoy most about working with wood is that sometimes the wood creates the artwork long before I ever touch it.

This is Ambrosia Maple. The streaking and color variations are caused naturally by the Ambrosia beetle, leaving behind patterns that simply can’t be duplicated.

No stain.
No tricks.
Just wood being wood.

Not every part of woodworking is sawdust and finished pieces.

Sometimes it’s glue-ups, clamps everywhere, waiting for things to dry and hoping everything comes together the way you pictured it in your head.

That’s part of the process too.

A gentleman from Waco contacted me recently after finding Salt Shaker Woodworks online while preparing to move to Seguin.

He asked if I would consider restoring an old family table that he grew up sitting around for family meals. I normally don’t take on refinishing work, but this one had a story behind it and I just couldn’t say no.

The original finish on the table top and leaf is badly worn and blistered beyond simply cleaning it up, so the decision was made to refinish only the tops while preserving the original base and aprons. Once finished, the new stain will be blended back to match the rest of the table.

Started working on it yesterday.

Amazing what starts coming back to life once years of old finish begin coming off.

I really like the way this board turned out.

The pattern, the contrast in the woods, the little bit of movement in it…this one just came together nicely. Pieces like this are why I enjoy working with reclaimed wood so much. Every board has its own personality and no two ever come out exactly alike.

This one is available now on the website along with several others currently in the shop.

I’m set up as a vendor here at the Earth Day show on the town square and will be here until 3 PM.

This is an example of what I’ll have with me… a mix of bowls, boards, and some other pieces.

If you’re gonna be out and about today, stop by and say hello.

THIS is what my pieces are for!

Not to sit on a shelf or be saved for “someday,” but to be used! Charcuterie on the board, a nice red in your glass, and time with folks that matter.

This is the same Longleaf Pine charcuterie board I talked about and showed you in an earlier post… only here it is doing exactly what it was made to do.

Not fancy or ornate, just practical and pretty.
