7Side Clock

I designed this clock that is reminiscent of the 7Side logo back in the early days of the 7Side endeavour. The intention was to give it as a gift and it now sits happily atop a dresser. The size, weight and materials make this small piece a joy to handle. The smooth Poplar case gives it that substantial weight and the detail of the deep blue vinyl face compliments the natural wood finish. A custom piece is a great gift to give because the recipient knows they have a truely unique and thoughtful item.

7Side on Etsy

Although there has not been much to show on the surface, there has been quite a bit going on at 7Side the last couple of days. The work space has been getting a much needed overhaul. I have some unique work surfaces and will be showcasing them and thier recent upgrades in the near future.

The really big news is that the 7Side shop is now open on Esty.com! Right now the only piece for sale is the Sanguine Dresser. Customers can purchase the Sanguine Dresser I have shown here or specify custom size, materials and finish. Click here to check it out now! I am very excited to take this next step with 7Side and look forward to some feedback.

Product Plan

Sometimes one of the biggest challenges can be determining which project to work on next. In an effort to focus my efforts on actually creating the new product, I made myself a product plan or sorts. No spreadsheets or Gantt charts here. Just some thumbnails representing all the great products I want to bring to life.

The Sanguine Dresser of course was part of that product plan.

One of the next projects coming to you from 7Side will be a mirror from my "Stretch" collection. More details on those products coming soon. I laid out a handful of other projects and no doubt there will be other inspired pieces along the way. Perhaps I will provide some more sneak peeks in the coming days.

Typography with "A Breath of Frake-Air"

Alison of "A Breath of Frake-Air" came to me with an idea for a typographic display piece she wanted to do as a gift. This piece of Oak, found cut down by lawn crews and left at the site, fit our needs perfectly.

The wood was sealed with a white wash stain. One large crack and other features in the slab lent themselves perfectly to the "e".

Approximate dimensions are 24"x22"x3"
