Building a bookcase with $2400 of warped wood ENCurtis 2024-02-24 | I've said it before and I'll say it again: wood is a fickle mistress. Some days she loves you. Some days she's patient and kind.

Turn out purdy in the end though, didn't she?Thanks so much to FESTOOL for partnering with me on this build.

Inlay is easier than you think ENCurtis 2024-02-17 | I never make pop art. It's just not a thing I explore much. But I took a few days to reset my creative brain and found a great deal of enjoyment in exploring a technique I don't often employ to make a poppy object I would likely not set out to make. And sometimes the simple joy of making a simple object is enough. And so, I made an ode to my favorite video game ever made. Thanks to Shaper for partnering with me on this object.

What $1,200 in wood and 6 months of work looks like ENCurtis 2023-12-09 | More than a year ago, I was contacted by two Navy pilots who wanted to commission a keepsake box for their first and only child. A box that would be her first birthday present, and in that box would live 17 other gifts--one each year until she turns 18. When you take on a commission with this much personal meaning, I think it warrants taking the time to make sure you get it right. This object, after all, will be a part of this family's narrative forever. I'm honored to be a part of that story--in a very menial way, if only through the creative act. I hope they appreciate and enjoy this piece. And I hope you enjoy this video.Thanks for watching!

When your client is a better woodworker than you ENCurtis 2023-07-01 | I set a goal early on in my woodworking journey: I wanted to be in a gallery one day. I didn’t know how to accomplish that. I wasn’t a professional furniture maker. But I thought if I could get into a gallery, that would be some demarcator of success. And I'm particularly fond of the piece in the exhibition -- a commission from a luthier who is arguably better at her craft than I am at mine. This is the story of that piece.
