Nice little Ottoman table made out of #pewwood. I’ve been working on a couple of large projects that I’ll have about 2 1/2 months of work in before they finished. So, it was nice to work on this table for a couple nights to see a project finished! Small projects mixed in with the bigger ones really help to #LoveTheProcess

🔊 ON...talking about thermally modified red oak...why I like it and the benefits. I’m a details guy and like to share as well! Also, I love my girls so I’m rockin’ this @shoplocalky t-shirt #build #soodgrain #thermallymodifiedwood #kickinitwithcasey #woodworker #clarkmanship #girldad #jesuswasacarpenter
I believe this is evidence that I’m a better builder than I am a “drawer”...however, drawing and coloring with my girls on Saturday morning, one of my favorites! #build #drawer #builder #dadlife #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
I’ve got an entire tree worth of slabs to finish out...this is the first of them all, getting finished with @rubiomonocoatusa I’m going to be finishing out about 10 of these slabs for @vibecoffeeshop to serve as their counter, pick up bar, and some bay window table tops!
Very excited to see this tree, which once stood in the lot behind their new location, get new life as slab surfaces inside the building! I love building with a story! This is certainly going to be a fun one to tell! #build #wooddesign #woodslabs #liveedge #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Metal work assembled!! About time to put these pieces together! It’s going to be so heavy!!! Not sure this reception desk will even need to be anchored #build #make #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
BONE-BONE-BONE!! Herringbone for...12 feet actually, just twelve feet! #build #woodshop #woodesign #oak #craftsmanship #shopshennanigans #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
This 12’ herringbone panel will be finished tonight! #lovetheprocess #build #maker #woodworker #wooddesign #oak #herringbone #woodshop #clarkmanship #craftsmanship #jesuswasacarpenter

Another finished piece using #pewwood Accompanied with an Ash wood herringbone pattern. The darker wood is pew wood, aka reclaimed oak that was charred with a weed torch to give the Su shugi Ban, black finish. It was sealed with @rubiomonocoatusa pure. The herringbone pattern was finished with @rubiomonocoatusa white 5%, this allowed the wood to still look as it would in its raw state and not take on the amber color that is typically seen in lighter wood when applying an oil based finish. #build #maker #reclaimed #repurposedwood #oak #woodshop #herringbone #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
🔊 ON! Cleaned my @lagunatools vortex dust collection filter today....definitely made a difference! As Buddy the Elf would say “ohhhh, that’s very sucky!” #woodshop #shopshennanigans #wbcmakers #clarkmanship #builder #maker
#warriorpose in real life application! Who says we all couldn’t benefit from a little #yoga! I tell ya what, this #woodworker will be doing so more often! This big ole 8/4 cherry board across joiner was not an easy task! #build #woodwork #woodshop #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
#pewwood...The new hashtag for my church pew builds. A little Su shugi Ban, and a cross cut of an oak log that I pulled out of the scrap yard @branchnbark! #build #reclaimedwood #repurposed #woodgrsin #oak #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #wbcmakers #jesuswasacarpenter
Kentucky takes @workbenchconference giving new meaning to CATLANTA! My first woodworking conference was a blast, in large part to these great folks that are just around the corner @meadowswoodshop @celticcrosswoodworks @lakesidewoodworksky @hurstwoodturning #wbcmakers #kentuckymakers #kentuckybuilders #kentuckyproud #build #woodworking #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
CHURCH PEWS! All of these projects were formerly 14’ church pews that I repurposed to an array of different things! #build #repurpose #reclaimed #oak #woodwork #woodgrain #maker #woodworker #wbcmakers #craftsmanship #clarkmanship#jesuswasacarpenter
🔊 ON!!! WooWooWooWoo (I think that is the phonetic spelling) lol! Su Sugi Ban technique! Basically just a fancy Japeanese way of saying burn wood! #build #woodwork #maker #builder #wbcmakers #clarkmanship #jesuseasacarpenter #woodgrain
This is a big spray gun! @workbenchconference @fujisprayofficial #workbenchcon2020 #workbenchcon #wbcmakers #fujispraywbc2020
My first woodwork conference! Pretty awesome so far! #workbenchcon #workbenchcon2020 #wbcmakers
Old church pews at it again!!! My most recent build finished with @rubiomonocoatusa charcoal! Big thanks to repeat customer @welvinsky for giving me the opportunity to build it! We’ll call this a mission style end table! #build #woodwork #reclaimed #repurposed #furniture #maker #woodworking #wooddesign #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
HEARING CHECK! Lots of time spent in this metal and concrete box, AKA my woodshop...planer, joiner, table saw, miter saw, sander, routers, almost everything I’m doing in here makes a ton of noise! Noise cancellation is crucial to A) protect my ears B) so I can listen to cool podcasts and music! I could certainly use some #isotunes to help me #mutetheworld. The tiny ear muffs and old earphones will do for now 🤷🏻♂️@isotunesaudio #woodshop #build #woodwork #toolsmakenoise #ilovemywife #clarkmanship
Christmas present from MommaDonna being put to good use!! #clarkmanship
From Church Pew to Tack Trunk! I actually forgot to take “glamour shots” but this is the “something beautiful I eluded to last week #build #reclaimed #restored #repurpose #woodwork #maker #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #oak #jesuswasacarpenter
Live edge Cherry! I always say walnut is my favorite, but then I work with Cherry...#build #woodwork #liveedge #wooddesign #unique #cherry #woodgrain #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
“I want to post pictures of my work, but in real life scenarios.” That’s a thought I constantly have when taking pictures of my builds. Laura, @ntouchsalonandspa, gave me my first commercial project and continues to be a repeat customer! I love this picture because it showcases the gratitude Laura and I have for each other in contributing to the betterment of each of our businesses. #build #woodwork #reclaimedwood #reclaimedtable #peoplehelpingpeople #smallbusinessowner #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Beast cutting board! I put it next to my 🥾 to give a scale reference, kinda like Angelina Jolie when she put that dollar bill next to the foot print and impressed Denzel Washington in Bone Collector...so, if we’re connecting the dots, Denzel is impressed with this board!....annnddd...I’m like Angelina!...wait what?!? #woodwork #slabsaregood #walnut #maker #sillyig #woodworker #crafstmanship #perspective #clarkmanship, and as always, #jesuswasacarpenter
Exciting projects on the horizon! Starting point - this log will go from a tree that stood for 100+ years outside the walls of a building to slabs that lay on a counter inside the walls of that same building! I absolutely love how woodworking has served as a means for preserving something that had great meaning for one generation and giving it new meaning in another generation! #woodwork #lumber #sawmill #buildingwithapurpose #lovetheprocess #vibecoffeebar #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Luke may have beat me to the post, but I got the better picture! His business @branchnbark, is coming through in the clutch for a big project I have in the making!!! #build #woodwork #sawmill #craftsmen #jesuswasacarpenter
BARN BEAM Mantle. Plugged mortise and peg holes with oak reclaimed from Jim Beam rickhouse.

I don’t get to build much for our home, but Ashley usually requests a custom addition to our home for Christmas. This year she requested that I pick up 2 old vanity mirrors she found on FB marketplace and building a large hanging mirror that would make this look like a wall of windows. This 6’ x 6’ mirror is attached 3/4” plywood via construction adhesive. The grid is the remnants of some trim work that I ripped years ago. The grid overlaps are all dado cuts for flush overlay. Mirror hangs on the wall with a 2’ French cleat! #build #woodwork #homedesign #homedecor #homedecoration #maker #wooddesign #craftsmanship #sustainable #repurposed #reclaimed #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter

2019 has been a year of more house renovations and more time working as an occupational therapist, but there have still been multiple unique projects that have made their way through my woodshop. Here are my #top9of2019. Excited for some future projects already in progress! #build #woodwork #maker #woodworking #woodshop #furnituredesign #bardesign #metalwork #uniquedesign #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Mantel #2 underway! Working with these old barn beams is unlike most woodwork I do. My projects typically require rigorous use of the sawstop, planer, and jointer. They’ve been replaced with using a chainsaw, scraper, and chisels...it’s a nice change of pace to broaden the skill set! #build #maker #woodwork #wooshop #tools #barnwood #timber #mantel #oldwood #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
BARN BEAM MANTEL!!! Old mortise and tenon beam from Paris, Ky, made available to@me courtesy of @branchnbark mortise and plug holes filled with old oak boards I got from a Jim Beam warehouse. Making things with a story...that’s what makes this fun!!! #build #mantel #barnwood #woodwork #maker #woodgrain #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
