This is where we share little stories from our New Gretna woodshop and home. Some posts are about the people and puppy running around behind the scenes. Others are “behind this piece” stories about the signs, cutting boards, and barware we make for real homes and gatherings. Grab a drink, scroll a bit, and peek at what’s happening on our workbench this month! Jacob, Emma and Nado

This whole thing started with one late‑night idea, a scrap of wood, and a lot of sawdust. In this post, I share how our very first “Nauti” sign came to life, what went wrong, and why my husband still laughs about the crooked test piece hanging in our garage. Our first cut on the CNC

Not every “nauti” night needs a boat. Sometimes it’s just a couch, a good drink, and people you love. Here’s a peek at how we make our whiskey smokers and bottle openers, and how we use them at home when the kids are finally asleep and the puppy is (mostly) tired out. Just add whiskey!
