What is The Tusano Trading Company?

Apparently I was so busy that I forgot to post this to Instagram! I was recently commissioned to make custom poles to hold the Chuppah for a Wedding of a close friend's family. And it was all made possible once again, by the wonderful tools, staff and members at @makerworks_a2 here's a closer look at the process, and there's more where that's from. #weddingdecorations #woodworking #jewishweddingdecor #chuppahideas #chuppahgoals #madeatmakerworks For those interested and reading this far, they're maple, finished with shellac over tung oil, a CNC was used for the rough cuts, and they were finished using a hand rasp and LOTS of sanding. The Inscriptions form a poem wishing joy and happiness to the Bride and Groom as well as all those who may one day be Brides and Grooms.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like things are starting to turn the corner as I send out my first orders from my own website #makersgonnamake #makerspace #engraving #sandblasting #cuttingboards

Thanks to @gw.stitchin.depot for the big help in cutting the acrylic, and for @iamthomastbg for their patience This has been in the works for literal years, and it's finally done, packed and shipped out the door. Go give @themedusascascade a listen! A great live play podcast I'm happy to support #dmscreen #dndcraft #ttrpg #critrole #woodwork

@dfrnttimes It's way too easy to forget everything involved. Might have to remind myself more often #makersgonnamake #taverncore #ttrpgtok #taverntok

Which shape is your favorite? Had a tremendous amount of fun setting up my makeshift Tavern table to photograph my new trays. 🏰 🛡 🐉 #tavernsofinstagram #taverncore #nerddecor #ttrpgshop #snacktray #concerninghobbits #charcuterietray #gamenightsnacks

Take a moment, be proud, and stand with those that helped you get to where you are. I know I am. #dndcraft #fantasycrafts #woodtokfam #trpgshop #snacktray #charcuterieboardsoftiktok #tavernwares #handmadegifts #craftsman #woodworkingproject #makersgonnamake #madeatmakerworks

Some Popcan glasses for friends with out Artist Group logo and a two stage etch over the spitball, wanted to make it look like it just *flew* outta that straw Couldn't have learned it without @madebybrad.etsy #glassetching #laserengrave #makerspaces #nerdycrafts #artistsupportartist #sodaglasscan #spendkindly #handmadecraft #tavernwares

Custom Woodwork and Tavern-Wares for Unapologetic Nerds
The Tusano Trading Company is my attempt to do exactly what I love most. I’ve recruited Artists and friends I’m excited about to help me design exclusive products and décor that exudes a “Fantasy Vibe” for the unapologetically obsessed. With What? With Anything. But Mostly Fantasy.

Original Artists, and All Around Nerdery

My heraldry “Forge Ahead and Follow Through” is meant to remind me of why I Make. To devote myself to exciting projects and their completion. I hope to move my trade forward, recognize passion, positivity and dedication to Craft, as well as the Fantastical products and aesthetics I can create in collaboration with my friends and like minded Artists.
