Formula 1 cutting board

This end grain cutting board is a birthday gift for our friend Lennart – he is a really serious Formula 1 fan. It is made from walnut blocks with maple inlays.

End grain cutting board

My second cousin Hanna is getting married to Peter tomorrow, and I made them an end grain cutting board for present. The base is made of walnut, and the inlay of maple. This is my first attempt of wooden inlay, I think it turned out pretty well. I added a slope to the inlay shapes so when they were glued under pressure it made the walnut/maple seams practically invisible. Also, all inlays shapes are cut from single blocks, so there are no visible seams in the maple either.

A tree for Frida

I made this tree for my daugther Frida. The original shape of the walnut plank was kept for the frame, which adds to the 'living' look.

Map of Ulebergshamn

This was a gift for my friends Hélen and Arne. It is a map of Ulebergshamn where they have a very nice summer house. It is a long tradition to celebrate Midsummer’s Day there with many close friends.

K-sign

Me and my old friends are all turning 50 this year, and went on a trip together with our families to the Koster islands on the west coast of Sweden. We had a lovely stay at Pensionat Ekenäs. We call ourselves the ‘Kollektiv’ so I made a little ‘K’-sign for everyone to remember the trip.
