Made in Alaska

By Beth Heuer on October 18, 2022

Ted’s Woodshop is a small woodworking business in Homer, Alaska. You may have noticed the bear and cub emblem, logo, and stickers that we affix to our work. We participate in the State of Alaska’s Made in Alaska permit program. We find that identifying our work as having been made in Alaska, by Alaskans, adds […]

Keeping Up at Ted’s Woodshop

By Beth Heuer on August 26, 2021

The summer challenge at Ted’s Woodshop is “keeping up” – keeping up with shop production, our responsibilities as members of our local artist cooperative gallery, and mowing/gardening/harvesting. Considering the challenges of the past year, we are grateful to have several Homer venues for selling our work. And in these uncertain times, we are grateful to […]

Turning Wood in a World Turned Upside Down

By Beth Heuer on November 15, 2020

I have been uncharacteristically quiet for a year. So many reasons. The sadness of watching my mother struggle through the final months of her life, tempered by the gift of being there until the end. Ted holding down the fort at home so that I could be with her and with my sister. As the […]

Earthquake Bowl

By Beth Heuer on March 21, 2019

Recently we received an email from some good customers in Eagle River, Alaska, who own several of Ted’s dizzy bowls. One was a bowl we named Marmalade because its color scheme resembled the orange stuff you’d spread on toast. Unfortunately, it was a casualty of the November 2018 magnitude 7.1 earthquake that caused millions of […]

Sanding Sealer for Finishing

By Beth Heuer on February 9, 2019

Ted’s creations involve several steps: he designs the project, prepares the wooden blank, turns it on the wood lathe, and applies finish. The last step is the most time-consuming. Recently Ted tried a new finishing process on a white ash and rosewood pepper mill. He was very pleased with the results. It saved time to […]

Cypress Sinker Log Pepper Mill

By Beth Heuer on January 18, 2019

Who’s this guy, why is he standing knee-deep in the swamp in Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Basin, and what does that have to do with a cypress sinker log pepper mill? Alaska woodturner Ted Heuer, in an earlier life, conducted his graduate research in the Basin and happened upon a bald cypress tree so enormous it warranted […]

No-Tech Toys

By Beth Heuer on January 15, 2019

We recently added a collection of no-tech toys to our online store. Simple turned wooden toys have always been popular but maybe more so now, when finding the right cord, charger, or fresh set of batteries can be a daily challenge. We set out a display of no-tech toys at two recent holiday craft fairs. Almost […]
