Every board has a story ...
They came from Chattanooga, about 90 minutes from Murfreesboro. That always gets my attention.
Often I offer a 4-pack of coasters as an add-on at class if I've got the wood and the molds. He asked if he could make a flight instead.

If you've done a flight with us, you know the wood comes pre-drilled but I didn't have any of those options with me. So he asked one of those "Can I" questions.

Can I pour it like this (see the picture) and you drill after?

DUH! The flowers were a beautiful addition and from this I figured out how to offer a $79 flight-only option that was really popular earlier this month.

I'm forever grateful for the people who challenge me. Literally all of my best ideas came from a "Can I?" question.

I made something new, can you spot it? 🤔
Thanks to all the brides who stopped to learn about wedding flower preservation on Sunday at the TN Wedding & Bridal Expo. I can't wait to get to work for you.

Happy Birthday to Sapphire Wood Studio owner Amanda Stephenson! 🙌
It was actually Sunday BUT there was no time to celebrate because ...

She chose to spend the day helping couples understand how wedding flower preservation works at the TN Wedding and Bridal Expo.

Birthdays, Mother's Days, Anniversaries ... she's worked through them all as she chases this dream.

In the end it was a good day. Hard work and then a little Italian food at a neighborhood spot in Nashville where they wouldn't serve wine because she forgot her ID at home 😭

Kinda wanted to keep it 🤷‍♀️
Making this walnut and epoxy bench was pure joy. From the custom mold to the final polish - I just couldn't wait to get back to work.
More to come. I don't have space for large tables quite yet but benches, coffee tables, entry tables and more? I'm your girl! 🙌

One of my favorite things is remolding these candle holders, because the result is truly a surprise! These are designed blindly with the flowers hanging upside down. Even though I have an idea of what it will look like the end result is a surprise!😜
