📣 It's Market Day! 🌞
The Upcycled Artisan will be set up and ready to welcome you today at the YLNI Farmers Market in downtown Fort Wayne from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM!
Stop by our booth and check out all the beautiful custom wood creations I make, along with Elizabeth's amazing collection of upcycled and vintage-inspired pieces. There's always something unique and one-of-a-kind to discover!
🇺🇸 New This Season! 🇺🇸
I'm excited to introduce my new line of custom military cutting boards, created to honor each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. These boards can be personalized with your service member's name, rank, and dates of service for a small additional fee, making them a meaningful gift or keepsake.
Come spend the morning shopping local, supporting small businesses, and enjoying everything the market has to offer. And don't forget to grab a delicious cocktail from our friends at Hatfield & Sons Distillery while you're there!

🇺🇸 I am incredibly proud of my family's military background and service, and that pride has inspired me to start working on something special for this weekend's YLNI Farmers Market!

Just a few more items I finished for tomorrow's YLNI Farmers Market ...a few if my very popular wooden kitchen knives and my new solid wood curved blade spurtle. These a great for cooking and sauteing in a pan, mixing ingredients in a bowl, or working on the blackstone grill.

Hello my friends...its almost Saturday and time for the YLNI Farmers Market from 9a-1p, and The Upcycled Artisan is excited to get our booth set up and show you all the beautiful pieces Elizabeth Keller and I have been working on over the last two weeks.

I found some new species of hardwoods to create some new cutting boards and all wood kitchen utensils just in time for your Memorial Day festivities. So please come out and see us and all of the wonderful vendors at the best farmers market in Northern Indiana.
We even made some coaster sets for our friends over at Hatfield and Sons Distillery who are at the market also and make the best cocktails.
