Oregon live edge bench.
Artfully crafted from reclaimed wood Perhaps you have heard necessity is the mother of invention. We had more than a dining table. We had an idea.
J London was created when we had no money and needed a dining table. After searching through a pile of wood in a family member's backyard, we constructed the table, painted it white, and sanded it. We learned that sanding typically comes before painting, but it was our first time. The process of wood grain emerging from under white paint was beautiful. The weeks that followed involved trial and error, the discovery of new skills, and reclaimed wood furnishings throughout our home.

I’m having a blast making videos with my daughter. Here’s another glimpse of what we’ve been up to. This is my most popular bench - a rustic black frame with dark walnut top. Enjoy.

It was fun collaborating with on this epic dining table. Distressed reclaimed 2x12s brought to life with an espresso stain and a unique frame.

I really enjoy building multiple piece sets for people. A few years ago I built a console with doors for one of my friends from youth ministry days. They asked me to build some matching pieces this year - a vanity/desk, stool, and bookshelf. Excited to finish these pieces up just before my wife gives birth to identical twin boys. You read that last part correctly. Pretty soon I’ll have a couple more shop apprentices.

About three years ago, I took a risk and left the world of education to pursue a glamorous job in manufacturing 😀. As much as I enjoyed working with the amazing people at my school, I’ve been welcomed into an inspiring community of makers and creatives and I have absolutely no regrets. It's an exciting time, and I am happy to share the company I work for, House of Magnets, is changing its name. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into this endeavor, and we are thrilled to continue this 25-year journey and take our next step. This adventure is just beginning, and I want to invite you to follow along. As a celebratory marker, I built a couple of co****le sets using two mediums I’ve grown to love in the last few years - wood and Aluminum composite (ACM).

I had a blast working on this sign for Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego. I’ve never worked with metal before and it was fun to challenge my creative energy and build something new.

I am in love with this outdoor space. Creating something out of nothing brings me joy, especially when that space will be used for sharing love, laughter, and a meal with family and friends.

New coffee table. Reclaimed this bad boy from an old desk. I grinded most of the paint and stain, discovering a nice blonde wood underneath.
