Finished these slabs up a about a week ago...They turned out amazing! These are a few pics of the progression, in reverse. @branchnbark took good care of me in helping to select the perfect walnut slabs for @little_bit_buff and @paul_speelman counter tops! Have I mentioned how much I love walnut? And @rubiomonocoatusa makes it pop! #woodwork #build #kitchendesign #liveedge #kitchencounter #woodgrain #liveedgecountertop #interiordesign #build #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter

Popular and walnut desk for @kysportsradio office. I’ve always wanted to build furniture that looks like a an oversized cutting board. The KSR folks are always gracious enough to give me freedom of design! .

I use bourbon staves to build a lot of things...this might be my favorite...railing on the platform extension of the playhouse! #bourbon #builder #woodworker #maker #playhouse #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Mia is 1 today!!! Celebrated over the weekend, and shockingly got a pic with everyone looking!
About to do clean up this #epoxy mess with @inventor_of_the_restorer, best tool for the job! Ready to have the slabs finished out!! #liveedge #walnut #woodwork #woodshop #jesuswasacarpenter #clarkmanship
How did this happen? I think I have a new favorite app! @tiktok #tiktok
SHOP SOUNDS! debarking the live edge slab! -necessary step in slabwork
-Bc Bark will flake away over time -it exposes the desired contour
-highlights the contrast between sap wood and heart wood
That concludes Casey’s woodworking lesson for the day! Lol #build #slabwork #liverdge #walnut #shopsounds #woodshop #maker #kitchencounter #woodgrain #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
I do not love sanding, by any means! It’s the most tedious aspect of a build...but seeing this vast difference from the lines on the router sled to being sanded smooth is very satisfying! #build #woodwork #liveedge #countertop #walnut #woodgrain #sanding #festool #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Finally getting a live edge slab project! And there are 2 slabs! And they’re walnut! Very excited to stop out @branchnbark today to pick up these beauties! Luke did a great job picking out and flattening these slabs! Let the fun begin! These are going to be kitchen counters! Stay tuned... #build #livedge #kitchen #wood #slab #woodshop #woodworker #maker #craftsman #walnut #woodgrain #kitchendesign #wooddesign #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Finally got a little organization and flow to the shop after weeks of it being a wreck! Not trying to be #festool bragedocious, but every single tool pictured will be heavily used to take this old mill cut cherry to a bar top over the next week or so! They’re pricy, but they’re the best tools on the market! @festool #domino #tracksaw #rotarysander #palmsander #jigsaw #rawwood #woodgrain #woodwork #woodshop #workbench #builder #maker #woodworker #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter

When I started building, about 5 years ago, I had 2 trees on my farm that needed to be cut down and milled out. This mantel was the last piece of those trees. It’s been aging in the barn, had several splits and checks, had no logical reason to hang onto it. I just kept saying, someday, someone will want this as a mantel! Glad I save it! Looks awesome! @welvinsky #build #rustic #woodwork #mantel #maker #craftsmanship #timber #oldwood #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenterandsoismyhusband
A few more shots of the Brewer table. Walnut top with a little sap wood exposed. Cherry base cut out using a bandsaw. #build #woodwork #woodgrain #maker #craftsmanship #pedestals #interiordesign #homedesign #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Brewer table delivered today! Walnut top and cherry base for both table and bench! Love how these 2 woods compliment each other so well! I’ll be using this combination again! #build #woodwork #woodgrain #diningtable #interiordesign #wooddesign #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter #walnut #cherry #woodgrain #finewoodworking
Improvised packaging! New vacuum came in yesterday...turns into packaging for shelving today! #clarkmanship #improvise #shippingisnotfun #woodshop #jesuswasacarpenter
Last pic of the pedestals before they get the finish coat tonight! Pedestals for the table and complimenting (not matching) pedestals for the bench! Big thanks to @designsbydonnie for giving me pointers along the way as to how to build these bases! #build #woodwork #woodgrain #woodshop #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #cherry #wood #diningtable #jesuswasacarpenter @inventor_of_the_restorer
A little more sanding but this bad boy is almost ready for the finish coat and assembly!!! The Brewer table is coming together nicely, all be it a bit behind schedule! #build #woodwork #pedestal #woodshop #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Just found @tiktok....fun platform!

Beef cake post now has some curves!!! Next step...shape her up a little! One of these days I’ll cut out this step a lot by being better on the bandsaw...but I don’t mind busting out the shaper! #build #pedestal #tablebase #clarkmanship #craftsmanship #jesuswasacarpenter

I’ve had several requests to order their own #jesuswasacarpenter t-shirt from my last post. I thought I’d extend the invitation. If anyone would like one, please message me with size. $12 if you pick up. $15 if you’d like me to ship. I’ve been able to lower the cost by using a local vender! I’d love to place a large order to further support her! #woodwork #tshirt #carpenterlife #build #maker #woodshoplife #clarkmanship #craftsmanshipmatters

I am a man that believes in the Love of Christ and the Grace of God. I also believe that we are called to live our lives as Christ lived His. I’ve used #jesuswasacarpenter on most of my posts. For me it serves as a reminder of what I’m striving for, to live a life that reflects His love, His kindness, His efforts to bring people Joy. Everyday, in almost every way, I fall short of that call. But being in the shop, doing this work, being a carpenter, may be the simplest of His characteristics. But by doing the same, it’s a daily reminder for me, that perhaps part of my day to day is similar to one of His...to one of those days not mentioned in red letters. #jesuswasacarpenter
Beefy cherry base hitting the clamps!! Fancy pedestal table of blended walnut top and cherry base will be the highlight of my posts for the next week...stay tuned! #build #woodshopnights #woodshop #maker #woodworker #woodgrain #clamps #tablebuilder #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Snapped the shot as I was walking out of the shop last night...maybe it’s just me, but this looks like a sigh of relief! The hardest part of this build is done! #build #woodwork #diningtable #woodisart #maker #woodshop #woodgrain #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Late shop night...final glue up for this beast of a walnut table top! I did this one in 3 separate glue ups just so I could get each section through my planer to flush up the joinery lines between boards. This has allowed me to only have 2 seams to spend a lot of time sanding...this may have been an over kill approach, but I thought I’d try something new...#build #table #walnut #finefinishing #woodwork #woodshop #dowoodwork #dowhatyoulove #clarkmanship #craftsmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
