This was a project for a friend's office who earned a wood-related nickname. As an experiment in making 8 bit sprites out of wood, it seemed appropriate. The picture is 30x32 pixels, amounting to 960 5/16" cubes cut out of oak, cherry, walnut, blackwood, poplar and bloodwood. Each one was attached individually along a straightedge and allowed to dry. The final portrait was thickness sanded and finished with a few coats of danish oil to bring out the color variations.

Good Morning. My name is Matthew White and I've been a woodworker since 1998. I'm mostly self-taught and I've been adding to my skills ever since.
By day I'm in the Air Force and I found woodworking to be an excellent creative release. It's also given me the opportunity to give back to those who have served.
I've burned murals for conference centers, built shadow boxes for retired Chiefs, and had my work grace offices in Washington D.C. I've had my work presented to Colonels and Airmen completing basic training.
It has been an awesome experience to share and I'm always open to a new project or challenge.

For Whiskey Bottle Presentation BoxMatthew did an amazing job on my project. He was very timely with his responses. We had a little back and forth to make sure I was happy with how he was planning to make my project. I'm thrilled with the end product. I would work with Matthew again if another project comes up.
Marshall Burks
For Marshall's Dungeons & Dragons Dice BoxThis will be my first and possibly only review as I only got on Custom Made for two items, both of which are completed. I am happy with this box and I never thought it would be possible until now. I thank the creator as he was professional and orderly, this was completed in a timely manner as it was well within the time limit. They delivery was however strange but not to the owner, I just don’t recommend UPS at times but that’s because I live in the boonies. I recommend this creator and hope more projects in his way. As for me, thank you and goodbye, you have been a great help.
