It’s been a crazy time here in Los Angeles with all of the wildfires, but I found time to work on a set of wooden drink coasters. These are constructed from strips of oak, cherry, and walnut. The small box is made entirely of cherry. I’m not sure if these will go on the website … Read more

A client asked Kahoy Crafts to produce a set of birch cabinet knobs. This was my first time turning anything on the lathe, but it went reasonably well, plus it gave me an excuse to purchase one of those fancy four-jaw chucks.
