Baby Rattle / Teething Toy



This is my latest creation and one I've been thinking about for quite some time, A combination Baby Rattle and Teething Toy. I have Hand Carved it from Hard Maple and the dimensions are about 5 1/2" long by about 1 3/8" wide by about 7/8" thick at the ends. The finish is my standard Certified Organic Flax Seed Oil and Orange Wax to keep Baby Happy and Safe which after all are the two most important things when it comes to Wee Ones. :)

Wishing You A Wonderful Day :)

Salt Spoon




This was A Custom order and lots of fun to carve. I carved it from Walnut and the total length is 4 1/2". I think now I'll have to carve another and turn A little Salt Bowl to accompany it. After that I best do A set for the pepper as well, we would Hate for pepper to feel slighted or left out.

Chunky Grip Baby Spoon



This Super Cute Little Spoon is the latest addition to my line of Baby products and it features A Extra Chunky handle to make it easy for Baby to grip and manipulate thereby making learning to feed themselves A Great deal easier. The overall length is about 5" and the bowl is about 1 1/8" wide. I have carved the bowl to A comfortable depth to allow Baby to easily load the food and yet deep enough that it will not fall out on the arduous journey to Baby's mouth.

A little something from my friend Charlie


Charlie AKA Wood Turner on etsy is a Great Guy and an Awesome woodworker from Wisconsin. He's been kind enough to share some tips and give me some help on a number of occasions and he's always great to have a chat with. I've been wanting to start featuring some other Artisans and thought this Great Guy would be the perfect choice to start with. Heres a picture of one of his creations and to see more just click the link to Charlie's shop in the right sidebar.


This is A beautiful hand turned ornament for any decor. Use it for a display, part of a decorative arrangement or on your Christmas tree. Approximately 5 inches tall. Buy one for yourself or as a gift.

I use different contrasting woods for the roof, house and perch.

This particular ornament has a roof of Mahogany, house of Cherry and perch of Walnut. The finish is shellac buffed silky smooth and then a coat of carnuba wax is applied.

Ebonised Walnut Hair Fork



A Pretty little round top hair fork hand carved from Walnut and Ebonised to give it the dark color. The Ebonising process I use is not a Dye or Stain but rather a completely natural chemical reaction that occurs when the Tannin in the wood is exposed to Moisture and Iron. The wood literally changes color and the whole process is completely safe, permanent and NON TOXIC not to mention Fun to do :) The Hair Fork is 5" long and has a slight curve. I have finished it with Certified Organic Flax Seed Oil and Orange Wax.

Purple Heart and Maple pendant




Lovely and simple Pendant carved from Purple Heart with inlaid Maple dots. The Pendant is contoured on the front and flat on the back and the overall dimensions are about 2 7/8" long (without the mounting loop) about 13/16" wide and 5/16" thick at the thickest point. I have applied a Natural and Organic finish consisting of Certified organic Flax seed oil and Orange Wax to bring out the Natural Beauty and Warmth of the wood. A Very simple design, yet a unique one of a kind eye catcher at the same time.
