Also, I love that you have an entire countertop, without the hindrance of cabinets overhead, dedicated to coffee. I may have to rethink turning my stovetop island into a coffee bar!

Wood shop in high school almost 30 years ago. Been doing it for a while off and on. Best way to learn is to do, learn from your mistakes and do again.

Olive wood handle for a Cafelat portafilter. Not a very good photo, kept wanting to wash out. Lot more grain in the wood than shows in the photo.

Not sure when or what they would look like... but I want to have some of the functional art-wood that you make. Those are some beautiful handles, knobs, bases, etc.

Tamper stand, paddle group and steam control for a La Marzocco GS3 espresso machine in Bacote wood. I had made a portafilter handle earlier for the same customer.

Very unusual wood from Asia for a MicroCasa a Leva espresso machine and tamper handle to go with it all.

That's a stunning and unique color.

I've sean a similar colour referred to as driftwood.

Nope. Everything is made to order. Those went off to Ireland, it is blue mahoe, yes it starts blue and turns green when you apply finish.
