End-Grain Chess Set with Cast Resin Pieces
Small end-grain blocks are glued up, flattened, and framed. A storage drawer and the finish complete the set.

How A Piece Is Created.
From the first message to the day it comes home. Nothing is built, and nothing is owed, until you approve the plan.
The four steps
You describe it
Tell me what you have in mind: the space, the size, the feel. A photo or a rough sketch helps, but a few sentences are enough.
We work out the details
I reply by email with questions, options for wood and resin, and an itemised quote.
I build it by hand
Every cut, pour, and finish happens in my workshop, with progress photos along the way.
It comes home
Pickup, delivery, or shipping is agreed with you in the quote.
From the bench
Rough to finished.
Epoxy River Cutting & Charcuterie Boards
Strips are glued into a striped blank, a channel is cut and filled with tinted epoxy, then the whole board is sanded flush.

Hand-Painted Resin Watermelon Garden Stake
Each colour is poured and levelled in turn, outlined by hand once it cures, then mounted on a steel stake.

Wahoo Marble Game Board
The board is clamped flat while the glue sets, drilled for the marble tracks, and finished with spinner pieces turned from the same stock.
See the pieceMaterials
Wood with character. Resin with depth.
Hardwoods
For boards, chess sets, and furniture, chosen board by board for grain and colour.
Aromatic cedar
For outdoor pieces like porch swings and benches.
Casting resin
Clear or tinted, for river boards, keepsakes, and chess pieces. Poured in stages and polished by hand.
Preserved flowers
Set in clear resin as orbs, cubes, and domes, each one different because no two flowers are.
Good to know
Questions people ask first.
How does pricing work?
There is no price list because every piece is different. Once I understand what you want, I send an itemised quote by email before anything is built. Sharing a rough budget in the form helps me suggest options that fit it.
Do I need to know exactly what I want?
No. Choose "Not sure yet" in the form and describe the room, the occasion, or the feeling you are after. The first reply is a conversation, not a commitment.
Can I send inspiration photos?
Yes. The form takes up to three JPG, PNG, or WebP images. Screenshots of pieces you like, your space, or flowers you want preserved all help.
Where are you based?
Long Beach, Mississippi. Mention where you are in your inquiry and we will sort out delivery, pickup, or shipping options for your piece in the quote.
