Welcome to the Workshop.
J to the G Wood Creations is an artistic woodworking shop run by Jimmy G Nichols from deep in the heart of East Texas. With a keen eye for detail and a love for natural materials, he brings to life the beauty and warmth of wood in every piece he creates.
If you listen closely, you might even hear the wood whispering its approval.
Come take a look at some of the projects he has been up to! Spoiler: sawdust was definitely involved.
The Woodworker
Jimmy has always been a very handy guy. In the late 80s this led him to explore crafting with wood. What started as a hobby quickly grew into a lifelong passion. Over the years he has created numerous pieces from his home workshop, some for friends and family, some for decoration in his home, and some just as a challenge.
Nowadays, you'll often find him cranking out sawdust (and being careful to collect it and not breathe it). He's practically a sawdust sommelier at this point.
He currently works in Process Safety Management for a chemical company. As plans for retirement draw closer, he's excited about the opportunity to devote more time to his craft.
The Works
J to the G enjoys working with all kinds of materials and techniques. He is most interested in the end result and bringing the idea to life with whatever means are necessary - sometimes even magic. (Just kidding, it's all skill.)
Some of his most commonly used techniques include:
- Scroll saw
- Intarsia
- Rotary carving
At J to the G Wood Creations, craftsmanship isn't just a practice—it's an art form. Jimmy carefully selects a variety of wood species, chosen for their unique grain and color, to create pieces with depth and personality. From intricate scroll saw designs that could make a spider's web look basic to vibrant intarsia scenes that bring wood to life, every piece is a unique expression designed to bring joy — and perhaps spark a bit of curiosity about woodworking.
