My philosophy is that we all need to do our bit to help the state of the world. For me, this means I try to be as green as possible--especially visible in my reclaimed wood work and quality, long-lasting products.

Another reclaimed-wood frame for a customer. (Yeah, I know, I should get a better camera.)
Ok, so i’m pretty excited about these pieces, just pulled from the kiln, cooling down, and “pinging” in the dining room. The one with a hole in it is a vessel sink; we’ve also got a eucharistic chalice and patons; and we’ve also got a new glaze experimentation in that normal bowl—I think my most mega-favoritist glaze ever!
Brother Mickey McGrath of Bee Still Studios and I teamed up to make a Heart of Camden auction piece for their annual fundraiser. I made the frame out of reclaimed walnut (a rare find for me), and Mickey titled his painting, on the back, “Joseph and Jesus rebuild the city of Camden.” By the way, Jon Bon Jovi will be at this fundraiser! And I’ll be out of town, teaching a course in Belize!
The people who ordered the reclaimed wood counter top came back for more: a reclaimed wood bike rack.
A cute little Antonio Gaudi-inspired gate.
First coat.
Some picture frames I made, framing for our nursery, some of Nikki McClure’s lovely art prints
Some shadow boxes I made, hung with hidden pocket screws.
Two diptychs, painting by Brother Mickey of Bee Still Studios, made from reclaimed oak pews from Holy Name, Camden, NJ, presented at the cathedral of downtown Camden. Modeled after the cathedral’s stained glass window tracery.
Here’s a tea set I made, similar in design to one previously posted.
Made of abandoned pew, installed at the Camden cathedral.
Just made and installed this!
A reclaimed wood counter top with custom carved corbels.
Just a lil ol gothic themed gate to keep the naughty chickens out.
While not super-freaky reclaimed wood, this is a fun project. I turned this closet into a bathroom by 1) tearing out the siding and installing a window, 2) plumbing in a toilet which 3) is super awesome. It is dual flush. But when the new fresh water comes in to fill the tank, it passes through a faucet on a small sink on the tank-top. That is, this meets powder-room small-sink needs without roughing in plumbing for a sink, because the sink is on the toilet.
