Meet the Craftsman
My name is David Jenkins and I have enjoyed my woodworking hobby for more than 30 years. Since my retirement I spend my free time making things I think my grandchildren will enjoy and I have always enjoyed making clocks and desk sets from fine hardwoods. As you can see on this site, I make many different things from birdhouses to wooden pens/pencils and will entertain making custom orders and will do my best to please. Thanks!

Creations
Children’s Toys
Here are examples of toys I make for children. I use pine and hardwoods for inside toys and pine, cedar, and treated wood for outside toys. I sand the wood smooth and eliminate sharp edges and splinters. I finish the wood either with paint or stain and protect with a clear water based varnish.
Furniture
I make furniture for adults and children. I use maple, oak, cherry, and walnut woods. The pieces are sanded and stained then finished with tung oil, paste wax, or danish oil. Here are just a few examples of my work.
Clocks & Weather Stations
I really enjoy making clocks and weather stations. Some are very elaborate and some are more simple. Contact me for special requests, including features and materials.
Pens
Making pens is a enjoyable pastime. There are a multitude of different wood from all around the world available for purchased and turned on a wood lathe that are quite beautiful when finished and matched with a pen kit as can be seen.
Bird and Butterfly Houses
Here are several examples of my bird and butterfly houses.
Some of the whacky designs remind people of something from Dr. Seuss.
Miscellaneous
Here are a few other products that you will find at my booth. Many of my designs are purchased from The Windfield Collection, Meisel Hardware Specialties, and Klockit Catalog. Please let me know if you have any ideas and I will try to accommodate.
