Projects / For Sale
Table for sale..
Finally got this table finished, and it's for sale. Bird's eye maple top, maple carcass and walnut drawers. 21"hx17.5"dx16"w. dimensions were set to be a bedside or sofa table. drawer depths (inside) are 5", 4" and 3".
Hand cut mortise and tenons, and lap joint construction throughout the piece. The walnut grain wraps around the drawers and the Bird's eye top is amazing to look at in person. there's no photo that can do it justice.
any interested people can contact me for pricing.

Bird's eye maple top. hard for any photo to really show the 3D effect this wood has. Very unique
The Black Stacks
Now that winter is over I've been back in the shop building some stuff. first out of the gates are the Black Stacks.
Pine drawer stacks that are 30" and 36" high, by 18"x24" deep. Each stack has 2 cedar drawers for storing wool items. Fir drawer slides and solid jointery throughout.
Black stain and a water based finish round it all out.
bit of awkward light but you get the point. The stacks were too big to photograph (together) anywhere else but installed.
Iron handles
Fir drawer slides
and the brand.
few of the many..
just a couple cutting boards from the many that ones that got made for Xmas orders..
this little table has been taking some time. Had a baby this summer so it's been slowing down the major projects. But this guy is ready for finishing.
maple carcass, walnut drawers with maple pulls and birds eye maple top. can't wait to have this piece finished and done!
chopping blocks
sometimes when you're making something that's drawn out and taking a while (like I am currently) it's nice to make something quick, useful and gives you the satisfaction of finishing a wooden object in a day.
chopping blocks (cutting boards) are great for that. salvage some wood pieces from the scrap pile, a friend's scrap pile and see what can be made. they're one of the few objects i make with no measuring which is really fun.
Here's a few that i made this summer as custom orders.
maple and walnut end grain. 12"x11"
walnut and padauk. 11"x11"
the underbelly of the walnut and padauk block
walnut and maple block 11"x8"
quarter sawn birch block 21"x10". was able to find some pieces in my pile that had amazing grain.
Creation Station
some might call it a 'work bench', for 1080 Wood it's the 'Creation Station'.
In order to make nicer wooden objects, i realized that my craptastic bench made of ikea shelves, quick clamps and a workmate bench were not cutting it.
So while ago, the creation station was born. Wanting a very solid bench but not break the bank I decided to spend the money on the top (where it counts) and use straight lumber for the bottom.
I wanted the top to last for pretty much my lifetime, so it ended up being a maple butcher block top with breadboard ends, 2 screw vices, and multiple bench dog locations (and types). for edge planing bigger objects there's bench dog holes down the legs.
the bottom is carcass dovetails throughout for stability and lag bolts so it can be taken apart it need be. the black drawers are built in, and the tool box rests on scrap plywood to allow for easy removal and access to the area below the bench.
breadboard end and bench dogs
I love using the Station. everything i wanted in a woodworking bench and custom to my height preferences.
drawers are all pine and have wodden runners for the slides. and there's the chisel smasher in the foreground.
and it has to be organized to keep those tools sharp and in easy reach.
That's the 'Creation Station'. Where 1080 Wood's wooden objects are born.
The Procrastination Station
Some might call it a desk, for 1080 Wood it's a 'Procrastination Station.'
reclaimed fir flooring and stained pine. handcut dovetails for the cases, shelves and drawers. The only screws in the whole thing are for the drawer slides.
filing cabinets. bearing drawer slides and folder hanging rods
continuous grain on the drawers
old tongue and grove flooring
surfboard towel racks
All of the 1080 wooden objects are unique ones offs, except for the surfboard towel racks. But each set is a little different from the others.
I really like making these. Like hand shaping a miniature twin fin (usually). dimensions are about 2'x9"x.75"
the fins are firmly set into the boards using through tenons. while i don't recommend it, I've hung off the fins before. the original boards have been in use for over 5 years now and haven't broken a fin.
The boards come ready to be hung. Order up a quiver!
single fin Stinger. pine board with cedar stringer and fins
a 3 set of single fins. pine with cedar fins
the stinger and 2 twinnies.
the 'opposite' quiver. Built for the 'Cedar House'. Cedar boards with pine stringer and fins
a closer look at one of the cedar boards
pine and cedar boards.
snowflake shelves
for the first post on old projects I'm putting up one of my original builds (in recent times).
It's a pine and cedar shelf unit with wedged thru tenons. It was built quite a handful of years ago while I only owned a jig saw, router and a few chisels. Took a long while to get it all built but it turned out pretty good i think.
the snowflakes are carved into the pine supports. They're painted white and the pine is stained. The cedar shelves are just clear coated with varathane.

getting going..
Hi,
I think the site's looking good and coming along, but please check back into the blog as I'll regularly post more detailed posts on some of the wooden objects.
thanks
welcome!
Hi,
welcome to 1080wood.com. Slowly getting it together anyways. I'm a busy kid between riding snowboards, building snowboards, creating custom wooden objects built by hands and my family life that sometimes I'm a little slow on the websites.
But please come back soon as more photos will be uploaded, and projects will get posted as well.
thanks for stopping by.
