My Husbands Hobby

                                                 

Well it's been about a year since Justin started dabbling in wood crafts and that means about a year that I've been able to ask him to "go build me this" or "go build me that." I've loved just about everything he's created and now that we have a new house on our homestead he has lots of spaces to try to furnish with the lumber that he has milled.

Some of my favorite things he's made for me have been:

 A Pallet wood potting table....



Wood slices, for all my crafting needs...


                                       

                                                                     Candle holders....



Blocks for the kids....


This beautiful childrens picnic table...


He and the girls made this birdhouse to surprise me....



                                                                And a bench or two....


like this rustic little garden bench...


and this very large one.



He made lots of cutting boards too...



A New kitchen table...


A foyer table...


A desk....



And a dining room table.



Whew...That's quite a bit for a beginner (who also happens to work 60+ hours a week and take care of a family and a homestead)  I'm pretty proud of what he can get done in his -not so often- spare time!

I can't wait to see what he'll come up with in 2014.

Let the building begin!
