This project was all about fine woodworking and mixing traditional craftsmanship with modern tools. I made a collection of handcrafted walnut cutting boards. I focused on clean lines and smooth finishes. I emphasized the natural beauty of the wood. I also designed and built custom CNC-aided woodworking pieces and laser-cut aluminum wall art, inspired by my home back in Hawai’i. Every piece—from the boards to the wall art—was self-designed, built, and finished by hand, bringing together precision, creativity, and a little bit of island inspiration.
