Get the last piece of this big door in place! #woodshop #woodwork #clarkmanship #jesuswasacsrpenter
Jarad reached out to me and said “I’ve got some rough oak boards from the family farm, can you build us a table from them?” This is my favorite type of request, building from materials that connect people to their memories, their heritage. The table in my own home is built with that same idea! So, Jarad, from my farm to yours, hope you and your family enjoy this as much as I have building it! @adoorablecustomcuts for the laser engraving #woodwork #farmtotable #build #oak #diningtable #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Once a boundless Oak. Now a bountiful table. @adoorablecustomcuts did an amazing job with the laser engraving on this! #woodwork #oak #farmtotable #glamourshots #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
With the goal in mind of building a table without using a single screw, this is the final step in accomplishing that goal! Final pics and full build video coming soon! #woodshop #woodwork #build #oak #diningtable #table #festool #domino #joinery #jesuswasacsrpenter
White Oak. Castle Joints. Half lap joints. Through tennon joints. No screws in this assembly.

I love castle joints! 5 degree tilt. Turned 90 degrees. Half lap joints. Full mortise and tennon joints. My favorite part...not one screw in this table base, and perhaps the strongest structure I’ve built!

The Jointer...most dangerous tool in my shop...the one tool I fear an injury the most. I mitigate that risk with good footing, a wide stance, and good traction. #woodshop #woodwork #powertools #workboots #rockroosterfootwear #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter @rockroosterofficial @rockrooster_footwear
Joinery...symmetry...satisfying...oak.
There will not be many more pics capturing joinery that I’ll like better than this one! #woodwork #woodshop #tablelegs #castlejoint #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Merry Christmas from the Girls that put the Man in Clarkmanship!
Perhaps one of my favorite pics of this build! @ksbarandgrille @kysportsradio @drew_franklin Doing great things in the community!
All this grain...all this character...when this table is finished, I’m going to have a hard time letting it go out the door! #woodwork #tablebuilder #oak #mortiseandtennon #woodshop #clarkmanshio #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter

12” x 12” x 28” solid Ash! This is gonna be a chunky table base for @dml998. I’ve got to manage this sucker on my bandsaw! I’m going to be 💪🏻 after this! She’s lucky, I tend to step up my game for ladies named Donna! (If you don’t know me, my mom and mother in law are both named Donna, and collectively, I’ve built more for them than anyone!) #woodwork #woodshop #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Just cutting some Pearman Oak for a unique “farm to table” project! #woodwork #oak #woodshop #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Shop pet! DubDub hangs around my walk-in door waiting for me every morning!! #woodshop #shoppet #woodworker
I’ve had the opportunity to build a lot of cool, unique things...but this is the only build that I can say has traveled the country, coast to coast and will likely land in all continental 48 states! I love this picture! Love these people, Paul and Katie in their @littleblueonthemove! #tinyhouse #tinyhousebuilder #builder #tryuniquethings #jesuswasacarpenter #clarkmanship

Today is sanding, polishing up to 12,000 grit! Make that epoxy look like glass! @festool_usa #festool #rotex150 #rotex125
Spalted maple bow tie inlay to keep this check...”in check” #walnutslab #liveedge #spaltedmaple #woodwork #craftsmanship #jesuswasacsrpenter
First Coat Finished! 40 gallons of @totalboat epoxy. Use of @lakesidewoodworksky slabmaster. Sanding for days with @festool_usa. Help from number friends to flip this thing a half dozen times. Beautifully finished with @rubiomonocoatusa
There are plenty of imperfections, and I’ve made mistakes along the way...but it’s looking good!

If you’re going to visit me at the Clarkmanship shop, you must cross these tracks on Clark Ln to do so...
I’ve always wanted to take pictures of my finished pieces here; railroad track in the background, a way of saying “oh the places you’ll go.”
Perhaps it’s a way of romanticizing the craft of woodwork. Perhaps it’s just another cooky idea from a guy that spends too much time in solitude eating saw dust. Despite which of these scenarios are true, I love the picture in either regard!

I love me some thermally modified wood! This, time, Ash. This is finished with @rubiomonocoatusa pure 2 C....that’s it! This is the color of the wood! Love this process!
Thank you @julieb_cne for being a repeat customer!

I’ve built a lot of tables. I have seen a lot of beautiful grain variations. This takes the cake! This is the most beautiful, uniquely figured piece of wood I’ve ever worked with!!! Excited to put it in a table top!

These girls put the “man” in Clarkmanship! I built my first piece of furniture the week my oldest was born, while I was at home, on paternity leave, in between my turn taking on diaper changes and other week one parent duties!
Daughters Day!!! Proud #girldad right here!!!
My wall decor is picking up in the shop. Haven, my oldest, found my favorite action figure from my childhood and insisted that it be on display in my shop! Well, my girls are spoiled! What Haven wants, Haven gets!

Equally excited and nervous looking at this picture...someone once said “excitement and nervousness are the same, the difference is your perspective!” I choose excitement! This pour has been delayed for a number of reasons, but it’s happening today!

I’ve been slow playing this project, but only because there is little room for error and I want to be precise! Slabs are laid out in the massive form...the empty space will be transparent resin with the underside of the slab being black. The goal is to look like its floating and to be. Able to see all the unique characteristics of the Burl slab! Still a little prep work to do on the slab...but I’ll be pouring resin this week!
