Tell us a bit about yourself and how you started The Wood Calling. Hi Sonny, thanks for sharing yours and Hale’s inspiring maker journey. Sonny shared his latest project with us on Instagram and we simply had to find out what motivates him and his son - woodworking partner in crime – Hale to create this Safari themed wall art.

Keeping busy with shared woodworking projects has already had such a positive impact on Sonny and Hale Johnston who are always buddying up to create things to use around the house or their Etsy store. Maybe a storage box, coasters, chopping board or even a picture frame to evoke memories again and again. We’re really proud that the woodworking community is full of really accomplished and enthusiastic hobbyists adept at looking for new and novel project ideas to create and share in your spare time, but have you thought about boosting your quality time with family by getting your kids or grandchildren into your wood shops to enjoy the accomplishment of creating something together? Getting family hooked on making is a win win: it’s fun, you pass on your experience, they get to learn new skills, and you all benefit from the camaraderie creating shared memories together, even if it is messing things up on the way! Making quick and easy keepsakes using fun clipart to add interesting detail without the hassle of modeling from scratch is a great way to start.
