Well, winter seems to be on the wind down, the snowmobiles are tucked away which left the workshop with lots of working space! Just so happend to be that my sister reached out asking if i could make a Montessori Bed for her youngest. Well a trip to the lumber store and a week and a half later it was done. Got the pictures of it all assembled in its home!

This would be the 2nd bed I have made, years ago I made a murphy bed and that was quite the unit!

Worked on a prototype piece for the kitchen, will see how that one turns out!

If you have any projects or ideas you'd like to see come to life, please dont hesitate to reach out!

Well, dipped the ol big toe into the waters of epoxy tables.

Back in the last few days of summer a friend of mine asked me if I could do epoxy tables. I said its something im interested in, what do you have in mind?

Well he gives me this stump, now its walnut, the inclusions and shapes were beautiful. The core wood on one was heart shaped, which is why his wife wanted a table made out of it. I was able to get 3 slabs from this stump, and after an ungodly amount of milling, prep work and last minute double checking research, I was ready to pour, which for a first time making a mold, no leaks were had!!! Everything set and cured great. And after a half a day flattening the table tops and another day sanding and finishing, we have these beauties.

This year has been unreal for Ten Mile Woodworking, from starting small, to a christmas mad dash to finish gifts, selling cutting boards left right and centre, to a quick fun resto project culminating in taking all the skills I've learned and continue to learn to level up to epoxy table work. Thank you to those who've supported this venture with me, to those in the future!

Im taking a break from the saws, tools and sanders for a bit. Look for a restock of wood from local suppliers, enjoy the holidays with the family and plan projects for the next year to come.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from us here at Ten Mile Woodworking

A couple weeks ago someone contacted me; asking if id be interested in sanding and refinishing the wood pieces from a grape crusher. I took the project on, and my word, what a treat it was to do. The wood had layers upon layers of grape juice already stained into the wood. Truly showing its age and generations of family wine making.

Once we were down to the original wood layer, it was time to stain. There was only one stain I was going to use, cabernet, to give those pieces the look of having crushed grapes, and beeswax to seal everything in for a dull sheen.

After the hustle and bustle of yesterday's family christmas, it was a quiet day. Put some finish on a custom project to get that wrapped up before an epoxy pour. I got a little crafty and whipped up a faux christmas planter. I thought it turned out pretty good. There's a young lad outside Ilderton selling real branches for planters with a portion going to charity. I might have to swing by and grab some for that fresh woody festive smell

Well guys, its been a while since I posted; and. I figure i should give an update as to why its been a while, and where we are at currently.

Late summer I was on vacation trying to catch some fish to use on a product I was super keen on launching! But just couldn't lure in them big ol fish for pictures!! I had whipped up a fish filleting board, made of a beautiful piece of walnut and sealed just like the cutting boards with food safety top of mind.

Then in September it was peak show season for 4-H in Middlesex County, and as a dairy club volunteer, and President of the County association, I was busy, busy busy.

After getting back into the rhythm of things after Middlesex 4-H's County Show, I received a phone call I knew was coming, but still never wanted to hear. It was the call to come home as my Grandpa had passed away. So celebrating the long life he lived and sending him and Grandma to their final resting place took some time and alot of reflection. Grandpa was the one who taught me how to use a table saw and how to use a square to make the perfect cut, so Woodworking lately had been both tough and therapeutic lately.

But now winter is here, we are almost a year into this journey. Ill admit, this year was full of twists and turns for trying to run a small business on the side. So it was let's take things back to the start and come full circle.

The Christmas season is great for cutting boards, stock has been selling fairly steady now. They do make great gifts!!!

Working on two custom projects at the moment; trying my hand for the first time at some epoxy tables for a friend and the second project is a restoration job for a fella who's looking to have his family's grape crusher shined up.

Just had a family christmas dinner today, and the Turkey was the star of the show accompanied by a Ten Mile Elm serving tray!

Thank you all for a great year and can't wait to share some of the new works coming down the pipe in the next little while.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year
