Wood&Faulk Home Goods

tableset_title

Who knew I’d be making home goods? I sure didn’t. It dawned on me when I was making a wholesale catalog that I had enough products for that new category (Mason Jar Sleeves already in production and releasing soon). Granted, I didn’t really plan for any of this to actually happen, but now I’ve got a bunch of products in the store and even more in works in the shop. It’s been really exciting.

In the spirit of making things I need in my own life, I decided to create some W&F coasters and a trivet. Great for saving furniture from drips and scorches, and also look nice too. I agonized over what design to stamp on them, and after trying out lots of objects and looks, I settled on a simple pattern of tiny crosses.

Coasters come in packs of four and the trivets are sold singularly. They’re made with the same English bridle leather that I’ve been using on the Camp Stools – a beautiful example that is tanned here in the US. Cut, stamped and burnished in our Portland shop.

Camp Axe Sheath

axe_title

This story actually begins with a happy-hour much earlier last week. I met up with my friend, Greg – one of the minds behind Antler&Co., to chat about projects we had going on, and to see the new A&Co headquarters. (Which is very cool, btw.) Before leaving, I found myself coming home with a couple more of his creations. If you’ve seen pictures of my place, you know I might have a thing for antlers… but still, I’ve been wanting a small hanger for my stove tools. Then I got to thinking about how I could display another cool piece,one of my vintage Stanley camp-axes, and figured I should get TWO hangers!

So then, over this weekend I devised a way to hang my axe using some scrap leather to make a sheath. I’d sketched out some designs and made a few paper templates, and finally came up with something I liked and that fit pretty well. I thought about dying it, maybe burning something into it… but I can experiment with that later. Right now, I wanted to share it with you, and even give the template in PDF form in case any of you wanted to make your own.

This fits a vintage Stanley, but you could mod it to fit whatever you might have. Let me know what you think, and if you make one – feel free to post it in the W&F flickr group!
