Chop Shop Custom Woodworking

02/04/2026

I just wanted to pass along a link for an awesome charity event happening this Saturday. It is put on by the Iowa Giving Crew out of Cedar Rapids. I have a few items in the silent auction and anyone can bid on any item in the entire array of items. Just make sure you are available to pick them up at the required time, which I believe is Saturday night. Bidding hasn't started yet, but when it gets going, it can go fast. So, good luck if you want to bid on something. I added two charcuterie/cutting boards, a wall clock and a really cute barn wood coffee table to the auction this year. Happy bidding...

Hello everyone. So I've been working on a few items for a local non-profit silent auction coming up in early February. I think they turned out pretty well. A couple tested my old patience more than others, but they were all fun and I love seeing the finished product. See for yourself and let me know what you think.

Hello everyone. Yes it's been a long time again. Between family events and the annual golf season, I hadn't been doing much woodworking. But, lately I've been working on a few projects for some good friends and soon to be doing another for a great fundraiser in Cedar Rapids. First two pics were for a wedding sign in registry for wedding guests. The piece was huge, and Tommy Dee flattened it and had the lettering done. Thanks TD. There are also photos of an ongoing table/benches/chairs project I've been working on. They have been great clients/friends who definitely understand this is my hobby and my family has had to come first lately, so it has taken a bit to get done. They have been awesome in this process. I also want to thank Tommy Dee again for his help and assistance with barn wood and expertise. Much appreciated my friend. Again, more to come soon. Thanks for viewing.

My most recent live edge walnut epoxy river table. I think it turned out very nice. Colors are going to go great with the other furniture where it will be going in the client's home.

Here are two projects I'm currently working on. The pet bowl is a sample pic of what I'm making, but the table pic is the actual in progress picture. Both are looking good.

Hello everyone. It's been a while since the last post again. Life has been busy. I have been able to complete several projects for various clients as well as I'm working on a couple right now. I've done a few private builds as well as a couple silent auction fundraiser builds. So, enjoy some of the pics and please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions if you need me to create something for you. It's definitely a great time to do it as I'm in between golf season and picnic table season. Lol. PM me with price or any general questions. Thanks for looking. Hope everyone has been good.
