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

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
A few more of my favorite angles of the cherry bar! Big fan of the saw lines! #build #woodwork #woodgrain #sawlines #basementbar #wooddesign #craftsmanship #clarkmanship
Basement bar built from cherry that was cut down on Jason’s farm. Laced with emotional ties, this is the exact kind of project that got me into the woodworking business! #build #woodwork #basementbar #cherry #woodgrain #craftsman #builder #wooddesign #mancave #sawlines #craftsmanship #clarkmanship #rusticdesign
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!
