I have always taken a liking to woodworking. At a young age I found it fascinating to see how a piece of plain old wood could be transformed into something completely different. I remember when I was in seventh grade I made my first peg board game out of wood (my mother still has it sitting on her mantel). I thought it was so neat. It doesn't really surprise me that I like working with my hands since both my father and brother are home builders (i guess it runs in my blood). As a graphic designer I love creating things on paper and now I've decided to try it on wood. Here are a few diy projects I've been working on. They're still a work in progress and I'm learning as I go but it was so much fun to do. Like I said before what started out as a piece of wood has turned into a serving tray and coasters. For my first time doing this I think they turned out great! Now I just need to find the time to do more (the one thing I don't have).
After painting it white I distressed it with stain.
In love with how this tray turned out. I bought leather handles for the sides and
now just (patiently) waiting for them to arrive.
My work station is my dining room table. I'm sure my husband is loving that!
