ABOUT SANDY

Photo of Sandy building Moms log headboard Hi, my name is Sandy, and I live in North-Eastern Minnesota, just about 150 miles south of the Canadian border.

I have been designing and working with wood, twigs, branches & logs since 1979. I have some great stories to tell about the "good" old days, before I had tools, or any space to work in

I like to think of new ways to work with twigs and branches, and develop easy

ways to get the job done.

Tree stand made from maple

Above is a photo of the headboard I made for mom when I first bought my log tenon cutters.

To the left is one of my very first projects that I made back in 1979. I lived in a very small house, and needed a TV stand, a plant stand, so I made this. After hauling this maple tree out of the woods in the winter, I let it dry out next to the wood stove, and proceeded to build the shelves between crotches, and the table top. After all these years this tree stand, which I call the "all purpose tree stand", is still very functional and very sturdy. I have always like indoor plants, and at Christmas time I throw some lights on this baby so that it looks like a Christmas tree.

If you were wondering how I got the logo shown on the top of this page, I combined a photo of mom's headboard and the slab I made for my wood truck topper. To see the truck and the topper and box I made, click on this little thumbnail.

In addition to woodworking, I love gardening, photography, fishing and computer graphics and website development. If any of you share some of my hobbies, I would love to correspond with you. Use this link to send me an email to be pen pals.

If you want to see some of the other projects I have been doing over the years, please visit my samples page. Also, I am trying to write and publish some of my projects in the form of ebooks. I just finished my first one as a test to see if I can set it all up properly. It's easy, affordable, and the birds love them.
