Each day gets us a little closer to having a completed Dragon Bunk Bed

Shaping the dragon head for a very deserving 7-year-old's custom bunk bed. This Make-A-Wish project has been an absolute honor to build down in the shop.

Here’s a little sneak peek at the Dragon Bunk Bed so far… Still lots to do. But we’re getting there…

Hand carving the Dragon’s hind foot. I wish there was a quicker way, but I’m enjoying the process!

Carving hundreds of Dragon Scales on this life-sized Wooden Dragon. Here's how I did it.

A life-sized Dragon is my first commissioned project that involves Wood Carving. The Dragon will encircle the bottom bunk of a bunk bed I'm building for a Make-A-Wish child in my community.

I'm working in Basswood, which is easy to shape and lightweight. Essential attributes for a project of this scale.

What do you think of the scorching? The lighter one is sanded back a bit. I’m considering applying this to the whole Dragon Bunk Bed for Make-A-Wish.

The Dragon Bunk Bed I’m building for a Make-A-Wish child is starting to take shape. It’s looking more like a creature now rather than a bunch of boards.

Turning a White Oak slab into gorgeous, floating live edge corner shelves for a local massage studio! These now live at Applied Pressure in Saint Paul.

What do you think of the final look? Let me know in the comments!

From a standing tree in my yard to a weathered outdoor rocker, and now—back to its original glory!

This White Oak Adi-rocker-dack chair has a lot of history. After two years facing the elements, it had turned gray and a little rough. I took it out to the driveway for a deep sanding and a fresh coat of finish to bring it back to almost new and to preserve this heirloom piece for a long life.

Check out the process and let me know what you think of the final look! What's your go-to finish for outdoor furniture?
