Following my sailor knot obsession... this is a sinnet (or sennit) chain. I made one out of rope so you can see the difference in 3D. Weird huh? #steambending, #steambentwood, #woodbending, #handcrafted, #oaklandmade, #sailorknots, #shoplife, #woodworks, #woodworking

A progression of the monkey fist knot. I wanted to bend the entire bit instead of piece it. Total failure for this style but maybe I’ll@come back to it. Need to do actual work now. #monkeyfist, #steambentknots, #steambendingwood, #studiolife, #handcrafted, #crazyprojects, #failures, #woodwork

Monkey fist attempt no.1— fail! Trying again tomorrow for lunch time fun. #monkeyfistknot, #steambendingwood, #shoplife, #complicatedknots, #steamingwood, #bendingknots

Taking a time to focus on a different kind of studio. Studio Ghibli in the house! I wonder if we can just recycle these for next Halloween? #halloweencostume, #halloween2017, #studioghibli, #princessmononoke, #kikideliveryservice, #totoro, #miyazaki

My 7yr old gave me this comic yesterday and wants me to bend this knot. I gave her a blank look. #steambentknots, #cutekids, #studiolife

Today’s sanded bent wood pile getting prepped for a nice poly coat. #betnwood, #stwambwndingwood, #bentwooddecore, #himedecore, #handcraftedwood, #woodworking, #tgif, #studiolife

A mask making day for the all the Halloween madness. Guess what I am? #halloweencostumes

The Days Collection is finally up on my site. I only made 11 but I plan to make 19 more. Maybe in the new year. #sculpture, #woodsculptures, #steambentwood, #steambending, #woodwork, #collection, #homedecor, #industrialdesigner, #creationwednesday, #handcraft, #handmadeineastbay

Either this is the longest movie ever made or there is a glitch in ITunes. I’ll go with the latter. #longestmonthever, #babydriver, #glitching, #moviemadness

The never ending project. I do like to take my time for larger projects but it’s just not ready. #steambentwood, #steambending, #bentwoodlighting, #woodwork, #lightingprotottpe, #mondayinspiration, #handcrafted, #madeinoakland

Inventory cave is almost up to 80%. Getting ready for the holidays. #steambending, woodwork, #bentwoodsculpture, #bentwoodplanters, #holidayrush, #industrialdesign, #designerplanters, #handmadeplanters

Time to make these "knotty little pretties" prettier. #finaihing, #woodwork, #sandingandvarnish, #handcrafted, #homedecor, #bentwoodplanters, #steambendingwood

I live it when I can keep the knot inside a bend. Most of the time it is a failure but I love the successful even if they are far and few between. #steambentwood, #steambendingwood, #woodwork, #lovemyknots, #shoplife, #handcrafted, #industrialdesign, #woodsculpture, #woodworking

Spot bending kind of day. Need to tighten up a few areas. #steambendingwood, #steambentwood, #sculpturelight, #woodwork, #wednesdaymotivation, #handcraftedgoods, #industrialdesigner

If only it took 14 seconds to plane these curves. Now to cover up all those drill marks. Won't see any of it when I'm done. Two more feet to go. #steambentwood, #steambendingvideo, #woodwork, #planing, #sculpture, #industrialdesign, #artlighting, #maker, #maybeart, #oaklandmade

Let us break forms today and make them better. Well, that is the hope. #formforbending, #steambendingwood, #woodwork, #forms, #plywood
