Yes, that is a bat house. For those of you that don't garden and know the benefits, bat guano is a highly rich organic fertilizer. Now back to these hand make red ceder log houses. Yes each piece is cut out by hand and each "shingle" separately glued on. No those are not store bought Lincoln logs they started out as new or reclaimed western red cedar boards. How the bat house works. Well they will climb up threw the opening in the bottom and stack in on top of each other. Not sure if you have bats in your area, (if you build it they will come) with in about a year they will find and start moving in. These starter homes begin at $25 and with additions or upgrades the prices will go up.

Building Art One Board At A Timeā¦
In a converted old barn, I built the custom woodworking shop I always wanted. I've been building smaller projects to keep busy inbetween the larger projects, along with working in a custom cabinet shop part time.
On a more personal note:
I'm married to my forever friend, we have 7 kids, 3 boys, 4 girls with the youngest being twins. It is a great blessing to have my shop right next to my house so I can help out with all the kids, but Mom keeps things in pretty good order.
A guide to the best items from the best makers and the stories behind them.

For I would like a cutting board that measures 36" x 36" and is made from the same material as the pizza peels. What would the thickness of the cutting board be?Jeff is easy to work with and understands how to balance quality and value. I had 4 pizza peels made as well as a 36" x 36" cutting board. They are excellent quality and design. I highly recommend him.

For ShelfI have been looking for someone to build a shelf that looked exactly like my mom's neighbor's shelf - a shelf that my mom has been eyeing for years! Due to my initial reservations about ordering something like this online, I considered custom made as being a last resort until I met Jeff. Jeff was immediately very open with discussing the details of how the 'online' process worked as well as all the details of the shelf's dimensions before any proposal was ever accepted. He was also very open about price upfront and making sure we were both on the same page at all times - both before and during the build process. I received the shelf much faster than expected and its gorgeous! I can't wait to surprise my mom with it as I'm sure we will both be teary eyed. Thanks again Jeff for all your help through this process. I look forward to working with you again in the future!

For Rainbow's End SignJeff was terrific to work with, very professional, and drew out designs for me until I was satisfied with it; I have no qualms there. I think something got a little mixed up in communication because the photos I've seen of the finished product (which hasn't arrived here yet, so I can't be sure if this is a real issue or just a photography glitch) have somewhat different colors than what I thought I was asking for. It is not a big deal, and it looks like a nice, well-made sign; just noting it. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable experience and I'm looking forward to receiving my sign.

For Small Wooden Bathroom ShelfThe small bathroom shelf that I had crafted by Wolf Creek Wine Caddys+ is a follow-up to a project that WCWC had previously done for our bathroom. The shelf fits perfectly in the area where it will be installed and looks exactly as I had envisioned. Good craftsmanship by WCWC and very good communications to help clarify some details of the unique bathroom shelf. +++

For Barn quiltJeff was wonderful with which to work. He took our idea and made a work of art. This was not an easy project but he put in the time and used his talent to make it a reality. I would highly recommend Jeff for any project he bids. As soon as we hang our barn quilt I will upload a photo. A++

For Award Plaques (walnut)Hello, I hired Mr. Knopf last year to make the awards and he did such a great job, I contacted him again to do this years awards. Seems like I called him 3 times adding more plaques. I told him I would get him the name plates a week before the banquett, I got them to him about 4 hours before. He hand delivered them about an hour before the banquett started. The 6 who recieved awards would, I'm sure give thumbs up as well. Sincerly, Chief Falon
