It’s been a crazy time here in Los Angeles with all of the wildfires, but I found time to work on a set of wooden drink coasters. These are constructed from strips of oak, cherry, and walnut. The small box is made entirely of cherry. I’m not sure if these will go on the website … Read more
A customer recently asked us to make them a set of handles in beechwood for a professionally designed cabinet. I really like how they came out, and it was much easier to machine them than white oak. Beech is a good choice for painting because of the tighter grain and because it stays a little … Read more
A lot of product designs begin as prototypes, like the new 1-1/4″ Square Wooden Drawer & Cabinet Knob. It’s made from 2x lumber to be a good value-based choice, but there are plans to offer the same design in white oak. We developed a process to cut out these knobs from a single block of … Read more

While we do occasionally provide template guides for drilling mounting holes into the drawer or cabinet, most of our customers have opted to handle this task entirely on their own. In building a set of cabinets for our kitchen the opportunity arose to test my installation skills with a fresh set of Kahoy Crafts wooden … Read more
A client asked Kahoy Crafts to produce a set of birch cabinet knobs. This was my first time turning anything on the lathe, but it went reasonably well, plus it gave me an excuse to purchase one of those fancy four-jaw chucks.
I made this jewelry box out of white oak as a gift for my wife. The scroll saw isn’t my favorite tool, but it proved to be essential for cutting out the inner heart shape prior to applying the base and lid.
