New Montana shaped design for the Glacier National Park Centennial


This custom cribbage board is being created by special request for the Centennial and will be available for sale soon at various places, as well as through my website.

It was created using hard maple with the images being lasered using a Epilog laser system by Northern Lights Engraving in Columbia Falls, MT..

The lasering on the left is an actual outline of Glacier National Park along with the Centennial logo on the right.




Stay tuned for more updates soon......:-)

Custom Three Person Round Cribbage board

This custom created  cribbage board is a request from a mom in Massachusetts as a birthday present for her son.
Created out of Dark Walnut this board is 13 1/2 inches diameter  and almost an inch thick. The grain pattern on this board should really pop out once the finish is applied.
There will be a slot on the back to hold the metal custom pegs which accompany each board.
This board will soon be ready to sand and finish.



This is the finished product and on it's way to its new home in Massachusetts.
Stay tuned for more updates soon......:-)

Custom Cherry Pizza Peel


Work has just been completed on this custom cherry pizza peel as a anniversary gift for a clients spouse.

The first coat of food grade mineral oil is drying and it will be shipped to its new home in Alaska soon.

The lettering near the base of the handle on the front was done using a Epilog laser system.

This awesome peel was made out of Cherry per the clients request.  It is the first one I have done out of cherry and it turned out really well.  It should preform very nicely in the making of all types of pizzas.


The handle is around 9 inches x 3/4 inch that is tapered down to a 16 inch paddle with around a 1/8 inch tip. There will be a leather strap tied through the hole drilled into the top of the handle.

Using a side grinder I create a valley in the center of the board to allow the pizza to slide easily off.  Typically, the center of the tip is around the 1/8 inch  and the outside edges around 3/8 inch.

It really feels nice and balanced to hold and will create many wonderful pizzas.
