SEPTEMBER 2026
A few things we’ve been making lately...
This month has been a little bit of “let’s see what we can make.”
BOOKISH & USEFUL
Books that hold more than a story.
We’ve been playing around with these book-shaped coaster sets with storage. We took the original designs, made a few tweaks, and put our own spin on them with different colors, finishes, and details.
They look like little books when they’re closed, but open them up and there’s a place to tuck things away. Because apparently even coasters can have a secret compartment.
SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE PERSONAL
A voice you can keep.
We’ve also been experimenting with voice-recording ornaments. They’re a way to put a little more than a picture or a name into a keepsake — you can actually save a voice with it.
One of them is especially meaningful to me. I made one for myself using BugZee’s bark.
Sometimes the things we make aren’t really about selling them. Sometimes we make something because we want to hold onto a memory.
A LITTLE PIECE OF BUGZEE
Saved forever.
This one was made just for me.
AND A FEW LITTLE DETAILS
Bookmarks are getting some attention too.
We’ve been putting together bookmarks in different shapes, colors, and styles — including ribbon bookmarks with engraved wooden pieces.
Some are personalized. Some are just pretty. And some are simply the result of seeing a piece of material and thinking, “I wonder what that would look like as a bookmark?”
That’s the fun of the workshop. We don’t always know exactly where an idea is going to take us.
That’s the spark behind 603SparkedTimber.
