This piece started as a burnt redwood stump from the Johnston Ranch in Branscomb, California…

Always amazing to see what’s inside a piece of wood.

New Old-Growth Redwood Platter — with a Special Story Behind It.

This piece means a lot to me.
The wood came from true old-growth Coastal Redwood, milled by our father in Point Arena, CA back in the 1950s. The tree itself was likely over 250 years old before it ever touched a saw blade.

I turned a piece of that raw slab into a 10.5" platter, finished with Pita’s True Grit to bring out the warmth, depth, and history locked in every ring.

This wood is the last of its kind — and this platter is one of only a few I’ll ever be able to make from this stock.
Thank you for supporting handmade craftsmanship and family-history pieces like this.

Just finished this Plum Wood + Bronzed Amber Pearl Resin Serving Board - plum wood from the Sacramento Valley set in a shimmering bronze/amber epoxy with faux branch handles.
Glass-like finish, 13” x 18” x 1”, and totally one-of-a-kind.

Just finished this premium Black Walnut and Epoxy Blanton’s Board featuring the full set of Blanton’s bottle stoppers (“B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S”). Each stopper is embedded in black epoxy and sealed under a crystal-clear flood coat for depth and shine.

This slab is live-edge Black Walnut, finished at 1.5 inches thick for presence and stability. Chamfered edges, finger grooves underneath, and clear rubber feet complete the piece.

It took many days of hands-on work (plus multiple resin curing cycles), but I’m really proud of how this one came out.

If you’re a bourbon lover — or know one — this is a seriously fun and unique display piece.
