Here's the finished product. It came just in time for baby JD to transition from the basinet to the crib.

John and I both breathed a sigh of relief when the crib was done.

If you look closely you can see the curly maple on the front middle piece. It looks like there are waves in it.

It's been a while

Here's a pregnant mamma and soon to be daddy feverishly working on finishing the crib. A big thanks to my buddy John for the use of the tools and the shop. Your "man cave" has been a good second home for me.

This was a custom wine rack that I built for my work's fundraising auction.

John Barney, a woodworking fanatic and friend, donated the use of his shop and tools to help it become a reality.

At auction it brought in $300, but that included 24 bottles of wine. I estimated the rack to be worth $200 and the wine was $400. That's how auctions go sometimes, especially during tough economic times.
