That saying came to life while I was living in Birmingham and saw the perfect pallet outside a restaurant. I walked in, talked with the owner, and not only did he let me have it, but he also dropped it off at my apartment a few blocks away. - Max https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607713926902-UHGZ43XQFG25F79T42OM/IMG-4275.jpg Home - Slab Coffee Table THE BEST $32 I EVER SPENT This slab weighs 32lbs. I remember that because I purchased it at a wood sale in the South and got it for a 1 dollar/pound deal. It has traveled with me from Birmingham to Chicago and now Philly. Countless books, drinks, and candles have called this table home over the years. - Max https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607713926934-HK73P898V0K0XURQF4T2/IMG-4274.jpg Home - Drift Wood Air Plant Holder IT WAS MEMPHIS, OR WAS IT SAVVANAH? Truth be told, I don’t remember which southern city I was in when I saw this piece of driftwood at a flea market. I looked at it and had no clue what I would make out of it, but I knew that I could not let this beautiful piece of nature drift away. - Max https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607713922904-UWB56SE5W05DW6YENYVH/IMG-4268.jpg Home - Eevee Pixel Wall Art GOTTA CATCH EM ALL We all know that with Pokémon, first gen is the best gen. This pixel art was created with 193 blocks of wood that each were carefully cut, beveled, stained, and glued by hand. Now on to the other 150 first generation Pokémon… - Max https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607717935726-6SE3A6FQBUI0YW5VAUO7/IMG-4269.jpg Home - Blue Wave Wall Art LIFE IS A WAVE, CATCH IT Please excuse the over-used cliché. I’d like to believe that life comes in waves and this wall art captures that. It was the summer of 2020 and I was quarantined with family due to COVID-19. That summer, I ended up re-painting every room in my mother’s home (yes, these are the types of projects I get into when I have time on my hands). This piece was created to hang on the stairway to the second floor where it is visible on both floors from multiple vantage points (and oh boy does it look great when the sun hits it just right in the morning!) - Max https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607713924507-XTC4YAAC2EB6BL8YXN15/IMG-4271.jpg Home - Duck Pixel Wall Art QUACK QUACK This project was a for-fun project that I made with some leftover wood he had in March 2020 when COVID-19 restrictions were shutting everything down. This duck now resides in my apartment bathroom as a surprise for guests to find. - Max https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607713924930-UDEG8IQX5S7JY7G8PDWX/IMG-4272.jpg Home - Liquor/Wine Display ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT? That was what the bartender asked me when I ordered a Chicago rite of passage at a Sport’s Bar a few blocks from Navy Pier. Malört is… an experience. Yes, I do have a bottle with me in Philly and yes, I will enjoy a shot with you upon request. - Max https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607714050688-NE6PKW6N33UN91M9IUA0/IMG-3030.jpg Home - Wine Bottle Holder A NEW MEANING TO “TIPSY” Simple, elegant, and a little dangerous. Isn’t that how life ought to be? No wine bottles were damaged in the process of taking this photo. - Max https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607713923796-196SSJKQRUARYY98VN2B/IMG-4270.jpg Home - Oak & Maple Cutting Board EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS Full disclosure: this was not created in Texas and has nothing to do with Texas. This cutting board is massive though. Weighing in at a little over 60lbs with a 3ft by 2ft footprint, you will never complain about running out of space again. This was made as a holiday 2020 gift for my mother and yes, we can make these in different styles and sizes. - Max https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607973591673-LRH830D6SHR68MDWOXGQ/IMG-4292.jpg Home - Philly Skyline For some reason, people are really into skylines. I’m not sure what started the craze but I’m sure happy that it’s given me ample opportunity to practice my wood-burning. The problem is, however, that skylines change; I just wish the city of Philadelphia would have consulted me before adding a new city-defining building in the middle of everything right after I made this. - Josh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607973533882-IH2R4ET6ZGNEXDRFN753/IMG-4285.JPG Home - Bee Sign My friends always make fun of me for my dad jokes (and by that I mean roll their eyes and groan) and even though there are so many that I can make I won’t make one here, that WOOD BEE too easy. - Josh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607973535251-EW6XS32C3X7D1HLTOG9N/IMG-4289.JPG Home - Wreath Gift This piece will always hold a special place in my heart. It was one of the first woodburnings I made as a gift to two of my good friends from college. It was a challenge and a joy to be able to practice different techniques and shading but even more so to see how happy they were when they received it. - Josh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607973535620-HIALIC8XTL084N3CQ5LQ/IMG-4286.JPG Home - Uterus Coasters No this is not a political statement; nor is it a social, patriarchal, or any other form of commentary. People see in art what they want to see; for me, I saw a friend who asked for a set of uterus coasters and I saw me being happy to oblige. - Josh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607973538071-IKYZHISOW6W10ZIE8SPH/IMG-4291.jpg Home - Bookmark When I moved from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia I made lots of bookmarks to give to people as a goodbye gift and burned different quotes about books on them. My favorite to this day I think has to be that it’s a terrible feeling coming to the end of a book and realizing that there aren’t enough pages left for all of the things that need to happen. (There’s a metaphor for life in there somewhere). - Josh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607973539318-NXMGZ9N6QD0N34HRXKK6/IMG-4294.jpg Home - Car Plaque There are few feelings more freeing and empowering than driving down the interstate with no plans, a full tank of gas, and the world at your feet. - Josh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1609374389925-7DC240XSCPW8Z9EFM2AU/image-asset.jpeg Home https://woodgrainstudio.net/about daily 0.75 2022-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1610202602948-RMAKKSVOZZHKJ5AJPA25/Logo.jpg About https://woodgrainstudio.net/custom-orders daily 0.75 2021-01-09 https://woodgrainstudio.net/contact daily 0.75 2020-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1609375011251-36L1T2K60W9GW5Z9X107/image-asset.jpeg Contact https://woodgrainstudio.net/eevee daily 0.75 2020-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd3a4d5ad43c8365ea7add8/1607716904696-XPO4XEJ5VQB2WCO4VVG0/IMG-4268.jpg Eevee
