Photo Shoot for new Etsy Shop Products

Hello Readers!

Today we had some overcast in the Northeast, so I decided it would be a perfect day for running a photo shoot for my Etsy shop photos (no shadows). I don't have a professional camera or anything like that, but I think the photos came out well. Check some of them out below and if you are curious you can visit my Etsy shop at Spud Wood Works and share with your friends!

Child safe blocks!

Hello Readers!

These 22 blocks are what I made for my daughter as a Christmas gift. They are all 1.5x1.5 and are sanded down around the edges to round. They are poplar and are coated with a natural bees wax for a finish.

First Cutting boards

Hello Readers!

My first cutting boards! This cutting board is 3/4 inch maple. Its dimensions are 7.5'' x 11'' for the larger board and 6'' x 8'' for the cheese board. I used food safe mineral to treat the finished product and protect it. Enjoy!

Crochet box: Design

It was quite the job putting this altogether! I designed this with many iterative sketches just so I could get it just right. 

I started out with a blank canvas for this project, I really didn’t know what I was going to build as a Christmas gift, but I knew that my wife had started doing a lot of crochet work, and that she really didn’t have a set place for all your supplies, plans and materials. So eventually I sketched what you see to the left. If you look at the finished product and this sketch you can see there had been quite a few changes made. I had initially thought of putting nearly a dozen drawers on the outside of this box with a spool rack inside of the box top behind a screen of some sort.
