Working From Home, Inspiring Kids

It is a lot of work working from home and having a home based business, but the time we get to spend with our kids, learning from them and them learning from us, is priceless. When our kids become inspired to create works if their own and show their own creative freedom, this is what it is all about.

Dylan is very proud of himself, he has been working on designing and building his own table. This project started a few years ago, and being a kid and having several kids projects going on, it took a while to complete. He finally completed his redwood slab table.

The redwood used on this piece was originally one solid piece, it was pretty thin and had warped before we could use it for a table top.  A few years ago Dylan said he wanted to make his own table, so my husband cut the slab into two pieces then our son did all the sanding and finish work. The day that he finished it he sold it!

Here our daughter Scooter is working on a wolf head carving on a piece of walnut. She has been watching me wood burn and inlay designs into wood and decided to make one herself.
