I read an article recently about the demise of watches. Seems most folks these days don’t wear them, in favor of constantly pulling their phone out of their pockets. Sure, it’s one less a...
I don’t usually go sentimental or philosophical on here, but this post will surely graze those grounds. It’s like a review, but with a somewhat softer center. A couple conversations with ...
I’ve been needing some more room for my growing record collection and all the while have been looking for the right sized vintage box. I was hoping for something somewhat military surplus, but ...
It’s crazy for me to think how things have changed around here in just a year. I missed mentioning the first W&F anniversary sometime in early November, partly because I was busy with fun p...
How lucky am I to have made friends in the whiskey business? Very. I Recently spent some time at House Spirits Distillery in Portland checking out their operation and tasting some of their fine spiri...
Since introducing the DIY campstool a while back, I had thought about making a nicer version for the store. Not long ago, as I was working on this prototype, I was asked if I would contribute the sto...
One thing I’m typically seen lugging around is a camera. Most camera bags are overkill, especially when you just want a bit of protection walking around, or you’re packing a camera in another b...
I seem to have a lot of collections. Tools. Chairs. Cameras. Boots. I seem to covet these things as art objects, but art that I can definitely use. I’ve owned objects that were too nice to use,...
Over at Design*Sponge, this month’s theme is academia. I was talking with about this project and she threw out the idea of an old-fashioned book strap. I immediately thought it sounded interest...
Thought I’d introduce the littlest member of the Northwesterner series, the tan waxed 12inch. Sharing the same sturdy construction as the rest of its family, this one is made with tan #10 Marte...
So, I’ve been pining for a pair of Grensons for a long, long time, but have never pulled the trigger until recently. My biggest hesitation was that there’s no close retailers to try them ...
Have passport, will travel… yes. Have passport in a hand-sewn leather case? JET SETTER. Here’s a little project done for Design*Sponge’s travel theme – a lesson in leather hand sewi...
My kind of sports involve hanging out with friends, and most of the time having a drink. Bowling seems to be what we do most of the time, but now that it’s sunny and nice out, it feels strange to be ...
I’ve been recently talking with Darian Hocking of Free/Man, for which I’d been a fan of his blog since its start. I was excited because we had been discussing of some type of collaboration… but...
It seems like forever since the belt experiment took place, but I realized it’s barely been six months. However, some of you have seen some good wear out of them, so I figured as post was in order. I...
In honor of this month’s Design*Sponge theme of the outdoors, how about we build an old-fashioned camping stool? First of all, have you seen modern folding tripod stools? They are ugly as sin and you...
After my first attempt at making a salt cellar / vessel for Design*Sponge, I figured I wanted to try some more styles. The first one was going to be a gift for my Mom, but after finishing it, I reali...
Back when I started Wood&Faulk, its only real purpose was to ever be a blog. I wanted to share some house projects, furniture finds, and some general experiments. I added a store just to make a l...
I don’t really understand the classification of Folk music. There’s so many sub-genres and variations, and the only tie I can usually make is that it might be primarily acoustic? Folk artists of the ...
My latest DIY for Design*Sponge just went live, so I wanted to share with you here as well. I was hesitant to embrace their May theme of flowers, but after some thought, I started thinking… Wha...
Well, it’s been a looooong time since I first proposed an upholstery change for the little sofa. I had received so many great comments and ideas, and then completely slacked off and haven’...
Back when I started experimenting with belt making, my good friend JD said that he would make a short video to document it. JD is the super-talented design director at Instrument, and we’d prev...
I like to experiment on a leather project here and there, and even though I can make some things really well, I know my limits. After experimenting, I get better, gain more knowledge, but my amateur ...
Well, I’ve devised a new project to keep myself busy, and I wanted to share it. I’ve been experimenting with a camera strap design, and I think I’ve finally got it. I’m going ...
Just wanted to welcome any new readers visiting from my project post over at Design*Sponge this morning! For those who haven’t seen it, I was kindly asked to create a project for them, and I ho...
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 t...
It’s been a crazy busy time around here. I’m in the middle of multiple client projects, home projects and W&F pieces. As always, most undertakings end up taking way more time than you’d like – sp...
Hey everyone, I wanted to check in on the belt project and let everyone know when you’ll be receiving your product. I had hoped to have them all finished over the President’s Day holiday,...
One great side-effect of having this blog is that I’ve gotten to meet other interesting craftsfolk and see their ideas and products. It’s inspiring to see what fellow tinkerers have been working on. ...
I love old English things, but sometimes they can be cantankerous. My ’68 Raleigh for its weird, proprietary headset standard. My grandma for starting that family feud a few years ago. Cadbury finger...
