As Wood As It Gets

How is it already time for The Northern California Renaissance Faire ?!?! Time flies... I just realized I have not made a post about the booth since May so here are some current shots of the booth from this morning. Opening day yesterday was fantastic yesterday, please come down and check us out this year if you get a chance.

Another great year at the Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire in the books! Thank you to all of our amazing customers that came by to see us and get new drinking vessels. Also, a huge thank you to my apprentice Vann D**e for all of his help during the seven weekends of Southern . We had a blast, and can't wait for next year. Now we are off to the Oregon Renaissance Faire for all four weekends in June.

Is it really Ren Faire season again, already!!? Yeah it is, and we are pumped! Check out all the new tankards and goblets we have to start the season with. Opening day at Renaissance Pleasure Faire in beautiful SoCal, and the booth is ready.

As long as is warranted, I will keep making the F Trump and F ICE tankards. I'm REALLY hoping it won't be necessary sometime in the near future, but holy hell, what the F is this Jack Ass trying to do our country? And yeah, I'm aware that this post might turn away some potential customers, but that's the price I'm willing to pay for speaking my mind, I mean, we still have the 1st Amendment, at least for now. If you support this regime and their absolute chaos, especially regarding ICE raids and killings, then my tankards probably won't make your beverages taste better anyhow. Don't even get me started on our standing in the world. This latest beauty is made with Douglas Fir cones from my friends backyard next to the Oregon Renaissance Faire site, and glows beautifully at night. **kTrump **kIce

What a great day up in Eureka California buying so many burls! Got to finally meet George Buck and his great team, , who are sone of the original burl hunters in Northern California. I realize I haven't posted in a while, I took a header off a platform at NorCal Ren Faire and did a pretty good number on myself, but I'm back and sourcing all the burls I can to get ready for the 2026 season. Just wait people, these are going to be sweet!

We have a lot of amazing customers, but I think the cutest one may be Yara. She came back for another session to be my As Wood spokesmodel yesterday at The Northern California Renaissance Faire This time we had a custom toddler tankard waiting for her as her commission and we had her take pictures next to the largest tankard I've ever made which is 73 oz. Tell me this kid isn't the cutest ever As Wood customer. And since Facebook won't let me do pictures and videos in the first comment, there's a cute picture of her toasting the other tankard after we taught her to do this. Cheers!

Have you heard? We are now offering custom pet imaging on tankards for our amazing customers. It started by us testing out the idea with an image of our amazing new rescue puppy Shakespeare, who you can see on the small cup on the far right. The two taller tankards on the left are custom orders for really cool customers up at the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire and they're the first custom orders in this category for us. We can do cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, and whatever other amazing animal friend you would like to have immortalized on a cup. A huge shout out to Vann D**e, my laser guru, for making this possible.

Stay tuned for all kinds of new tankard and goblet designs that are going to be unveiled in the next few days as we're getting ready to start The Northern California Renaissance Faire in just over a week from now.
