JB's BOARDWORKS
About Me
"Willow hunting" for railing balusters
The Shop, Spring 2006
I arrived in Fairbanks in 1972, and watched our
log house being built. The smell of fresh cut logs
and wood became a part of me, and I have been
immersed in it as often as possible ever since. At
first, it was simple stuff inspired by necessity and
the occasional " Honey, can you fix this?" Then, a
few years ago, I built a set of stairs out of a single,
16-foot tree. The word got out, and soon it was
awnings, shelves, cabinets, and all the stuff you
see on this website. JB's Boardworks became an
official business in 2007- 2 years after it all started
in Anchorage. Since then, a lot has happened and
the business has grown, requiring a shop
up-sizing, and keeping me busy. I like to create
new and unique things, as opposed to everyday
items. All the items posted here were thought up
by the people who purchased them (except for
the Science Center- I built that for my son, the
aspiring scientist- and the knick knack shelves),
and custom- built by yours truly. Feel free to
e-mail me or call with ideas, questions, or
requests. Be sure to check out my
"Current
Projects" page- it will show you what I'm up to
lately!
