Huge sliding door for @plasticsurgeonsoflexington office
58” W x 86” H. Smooth and clean design for the win!
Sleek, clean design. Oak dining table with a touch of gray thanks to @rubiomonocoatusa. This table was built out of OLD wood stored in a family barn for my friend @brookiehamilton’s NEW home! We’ve got castle joints and lap joints, and dowel plugs, and bow ties! All the good stuff, even Whiskers approves!

Walnut table top! 10’ L x 4’W, with a 10’ bench to match...Huge table for a family of 8! Finished with @rubiomonocoatusa #woodwork #diningtable #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Rustic wood meets elegant design! Love the contrast on this 9’ trestle table! #woodwork #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Get ‘em started early! Bodhi has been asking me if she can help me make something. This seemed like a safer intro than power tools! Plus, @rubiomonocoatusa is fun to put on with a squeegee! #woodwork #tablebuilder #builder #jesuswasacarpenter
I had the opportunity to build 25 boxes for @mpfcomm and their amazing marketing campaign for @logstilldistillery @dantcrossing and @monksroad. Such an exciting project that is shedding light on our beautiful little town of New Haven. I’d be remissed if I didn’t acknowledge the great work by @adoorablecustomcuts for their laser engraving. The perfect compliment to these white oak boxes, built from repurposed bourbon barrel heads. #woodwork #oak #bourbon #marketing #wooddesign #jesuswasacarpenter
BARN BEAM MANTEL!
Wrap around mantel! These old beams were notched and doweled, so I gave my best effort to accent those old details! The corner bridal joint is my favorite! #woodwork #barnwood #mantel #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter

SAPELE OUTDOOR TABLE! this bad boy gave me all I wanted! Lots of angles. First table I’ve ever built without wood glue. I used @totalboat THIXO to endure the elements and radical KY seasonal changes. Finished with red penofin , also a first. Love the end product! No end grain is exposed, so hopefully that will mitigate wood movement. #woodwork #outdoortable #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are older, they won’t turn from it. -Proverbs 22:6
Turning stools, for the Turner’s turned out nice!
Sorry not sorry...that dad joke was worth it!
CUSTOM BAR STOOLS!!! This counter was an obscure height so adjustable height stools were the solution! Complete with butcher block hickory seats, hickory legs, and a walnut accent to support the overall structure! Finished with @rubiomonocoatusa pure 2C! #woodwork #barstool #walnut #hickory #rubio #customwood #wooddesign #clarkmanship #artisanwood #craftsmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
First table I ever finished with @odiesoil Love the finish! Love the contrast of walnut and cherry! #oidesfeatsofstrength
Repurposed log cabin beam. Charred with a torch, sanded, glossed over and sealed with 3 gallons of finish. Cherry base complete with, my favorite, castle joinery. The beam “floats” off the base, resting on 8 all thread rods that raise it about 1 1/2” off the base. Still in the clouds with this project, but this will be my last photo dump, I promise (for this project). The opportunity to collaborate with the@rusticnailandco team and the fine folks @logstilldistillery and @dantcrossing has been a highlight of my career that I’ll never forget!
...and a couple of Wood art pieces to drive the week home! #woodwork #jesuswasacarpenter # Clarkmanship #woodart @dantcrossing @logstilldistillery
I’M NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER, PROMISE...
But this picture suggests otherwise.
In the wee hours of the night I delivered this table as @rusticnailandco was finishing up their masterful work for the lounge space at the AMP. This morning the space was clean and other furniture had not been delivered...the perfect blank canvas of a back drop!
The culmination of a whirlwind week stops here. A giant coffee table for @logstilldistillery built from a log cabin beam on Wally’s farm (the owner).
Charred, polished and repeat x 3. A high gloss finish floating atop a cherry base complete with castle joinery, that you can actually see!
This place has made such a big splash in our community. Giving opportunities for work, creativity, hometown pride! From farmers to carpenters and everyone in between.
I texted my brother last night with a unique excitement... “musicians from all over the country will enjoy a glass of bourbon made from your grain and set it down on a table made from my grain.” Now that’s what I call #buildwithastory
WOODSHOP TIP ... if you need the straight drilling offered by a press but can’t fit your item in the press. Get a piece of 8/4 stock...drill your hole in it on the press. Then use it as a guide with your hand drill. #woodshop #woodwork #build #jesuswasacarpenter
⭐️ FINISH FRIDAY⭐️
This week has been....a lot...good a lot, great a lot...but a lot of finished projects (still several to catch up on)
Solid Ash table and bench. Finished with @rubiomonocoatusa chocolate for my friend @dmop83 and his lovely wife Mo!
Nothing like ripping some boards on the table saw and in walks your friend with his fancy camera and catches some rad action photos!

Chunky, curvy trestle bases are my favorite to make. The @grizzlyindustrial bandsaw and @inventor_of_the_restorer are absolute essential tools in my shop fit this design! #woodshop #trestle #woidwork #bandsaw #sandingisntsobad #jesuswasacarpenter
I know I’m can’t be the only #girldad out there that finds themselves in this situation...pink pencils with unicorns. I don’t think my shop would be complete without it! #woodshop @grizzlyindustrial #bandsaw

I’ve made these type of bases before...but this is the first time on the new Grizzly Bandsaw! Game changer, cuts like butter!
Literally a century in the making. Cladding of barn wood from my Great Grandads barn. The shop was entirely built by me, dad, my brother, my uncle and a couple of close friends that answered the call on Saturday afternoon to help with the roof.
I know I post pictures of this old/new shop frequently, but this is probably my favorite. #thisoldshop #woodshop #buildastory #clarkmanship #jesuswasacarpenter
Happy Friday!!!
#FestoolTough The most unique tool in my shop is the domino! When I started woodworking, I lacked the skill to build the quality I was perusing. I made the decision to purchase tools that would narrow the gap between the skills I had and the outcome I desired. Putting a few Festool products on the top of the list is a decision I have yet to regret. #woodshop

My last post a about toughness was in response to Festool’s tough campaign. Make no mistake, any toughness I may demonstrate is a direct effort to maintaining their fragility. Haven, Della, Bodhi, Mia...
