Custom Furniture & Woodworking
On Point Boards is a small-scale woodworker based in Hailey, ID, and Seattle, WA. We design and create heirloom hardwood pieces for your home.
Why Custom Furniture?
Custom furniture is built to last a lifetime and can be made to your exact specifications. We’ll work together to create something perfect for your home.
By investing in custom furniture you can be sure a piece will last multiple generations.
Complicated glue up for sure. Butt joints, mitered joints, and face joints. After all the mock ups, prefinishing the interiors, cutting dominoes I just had to pull the trigger and get this thing together. It took over an hour and used 22 clamps and 105 pounds weights. Making progress and it feels great to see this desk coming together. 📸 @trganz

I did a science while the Dr was out of town this weekend. Red oak is not the first wood I am going to choose to use, but it is rich in tannins. And when combined with iron acetate it turns black. I did use some strong black tea to increase the tannins, and hopefully the richness of the color. My first time ebonizing wood, and would definitely do again.

Mocking up the cabinet legs and bracing for the upper bookshelves. Love working with this wood, it has just so much character.

I was out of the shop this weekend as Juniper was scheduled to work this weekend. She was not amused that when she showed up, they didn’t even need her to be the camp host. At least we got a little scamping and hiking in!
From panels to boxes, feels good to finally start seeing these two projects take shape. Both #midcenturymodern inspired the desk and bookcase/cabinet will feature tapered legs and clean lines.

Sometimes building furniture can feel like making fancy plywood. After about a week of using a few hours a day we have 10 panels ready to start making boxes! The good news is this might be the prettiest wood I have worked with, and am excited to see these pieces take shape.

I did need to employ the mechanical planer to flatten and dimension close to 70 board feet to make panels, the hand plane is great for delicate work, but not sure how long this would have taken by hand. I might still be on the first board

New workshop, old tools. Got two projects going at once, a desk and accompanying bookcase, and doing my best to keep things separated. As with most of my projects, I need to start with making panels. Since my little bench top jointer is not the best tool for long boards I’ve been relying on this number 5 hand plane. It also makes me feel a bit more attached to the making process. For now, it feels good to be settled in a new place and getting back to work.

Install and delivery day. Psyched to get The McKinley Credenza in its permanent home and make some space for the next project. I’ll be off for the week enjoying some spring skiing, but back to the shop soon! #woodwork #woodworking #woodworker #interiordesign #smallbusiness #smallshop #maker #custom #customfurniture #walnut #credenza #furniture
Glad to get this done before a week out of the shop. Not sure where this will end up, I made this for a silent auction as part of an annual fundraiser for the @mountaineersorg gala. This beauty could be all yours! The auction starts in two weeks and a link can be found here https://www.mountaineers.org/donate/the-mountaineers-gala
A custom designed credenza made from black walnut finished with two coats of hard wax oil. A custom piece made for my sister in law and her husband. Focusing on highly figured continuous grain, and finding unique places like the chevron doors to accentuate the sapwood often time discarded in black walnut. The slight bevel on the top matches the recess in the shadow line on the sides. An incredibly fun piece to work on! #woodworking #woodworker #customfurniture #custommade #blackwalnut #interiordesign #handmade #smallshop #maker
A sneak peak of the bottom of this piece. I love looking for the right place for a sneaky Junie. Bottom of the credenza front and center. Stay tuned for some final photos of this piece, the finish is really making the grain pop! #woodworker #woodworking #custommade #customfurniture #interiordesign #maker #handmade #credenza #blackwalnut
Getting close to finishing up, and time to sign the board. I love that if you zoom in you can just make out Junie’s ear, and that she can have a permanent place in someone’s house. #woodoworking #woodworker #endgraincuttingboard #handmade #custom
Doors for the credenza, mixing walnut heartwood with it’s sapwood. It’s crazy how one tree can have so much color variation. The doors unfortunately are not perfect squares so now just gotta figure out how the hell to glue this up properly! #woodworker #woodworking #custommade #customfurniture #handmade #interiordesign #maker #chevron
It’s like shuffling cards. After so many glue up’s this board is starting to take shape and show off the subtle change in color gradient. Should really pop once some finish is on there. #woodworker #woodpworking #maker #custommade #handmade #endgrain
Meanwhile on the other side of Gotham City, we got the dados cut, and the dividers in on the credenza. And my relief when checking for square on the diagonal both landed the same. Next up is making the doors. #woodworker #woodworking #customfurniture #interiordesign #handmade #custom #credenza
Freshly milled and ready for the first glue up. Doubling up on shop projects to get this one done for a fundraising auction next month. Excited to play with color gradient for this cutting board. #cuttingboard #woodworker #woodworking #endgrain #custommade #handmade #maker
First I gotta build a box before I can start to think outside of one. 📸 @trganz #woodworker #woodworking #customfurniture #maker #credenza #interiordesign #handmade
