It’s important when you’re displaying a book upright like this to fully support the spine and pages of the book evenly so it doesn’t bend over time (which is exactly what was happening with the plate stand).

Propagation Station: One Day Scrap Wood Project

I seem to be incapable of throwing away potential plants. I need to start giving plants away because every time I trim a plant I start the cutting in water.

Scrap Wood Project: Cat Scratcher

Happy quarantine! We’re trying to respect all the stay at home guidelines while staying busy and creative. I decided that I wanted to make SOMETHING out of the scrap wood we have in our garage.

I didn’t have anything specific in mind but I’ve been curating a Pinterest board with woodworking projects I want to try so I looked through that for inspiration and then started designing!
