  1. Finishing
    All: I am planning on building a small bench -- 16" wide -- with a piece of ambrosia maple for the seat. The wood seems to be pretty solid, with just a few voids and streaks for interest. I am wondering how to finish the material so that it will hold up to occasional use as a place for one to...

  5. Wood Bowls for Gifts

    I completed four of the seven bowls that I started turning last week. I discovered some holes and soft areas in a couple of the wood blocks I purchased. I will evaluate those to see if I will be able to turn those to completion. These four bowls will be gifts for three family members and a...
  6. "Hot" Salsa/Dip and Chip Tray and Pistachio Pendant

    A couple more projects got finished today. The first one is an Ambrosia Maple serving tray for chips and dip that has been fractal burned on the inside. I made the mistake of trying to sand it on the lathe with all the black ash in there and it got into the fibers of the wood . So I took a skin...
  7. Order of the Jedi Clock

    The other son-in-law is less of a Harry Potter fan and more of a Star Wars fan! Thank god, finally some variety! The Symbol is from Purpleheart, the background piece is Ambrosia Maple, the frame is Tigerwood and there are some Jaktoba scraps that went into the backside of the frame. So I came...
  8. Cookbook Holder/Stand

    This is a cookbook holder that I put together for my wife for this past Mother's Day. She had been using an old plate stand that I absolutely could not stand! The majority of the holder is made from ambrosia maple while the edge is wraped in black walnut. I finished off with a couple coats of...

  10. Parsons Coffee Table - Cherry and Ambrosia Maple

    My wife and I are both fans of simple contemporary design. I came up with a coffee table concept based on the Parsons table line from Restoration Hardware. However, my wife added a caveat that "all furniture must have storage", which threw a curve ball into my design. I decided to make faux...
  11. Ambrosia Maple Table work station

    Two Ambrosia Maple Tables I made, the taller one will serve a dual role - callmaking finishing table. And the shorter one, just an end table. This was some of the prettiest, highly flavored wood I have seen in a while.
  12. Memorial Box

    Several weeks ago one of the 12 year olds in my scout troop and a family friend passed away in a tragic accident. With the natural reaction to want to do anything to help and being marginally better with my hands that my words I decided to make something for the family. After a lot of thought I...
  13. Assembly Table / Outfeed Table / Shop Storage

    Finally getting to some projects and in whole, getting the shop set up. We moved a couple years ago this past January into this house and hadn't had a chance to get shop in place (wedding, summer projects, list goes on). I did build the wall in the garage a while back and had that part taken...
  14. Tooth Brushing Stool for a 2 year old

    Need to catch up. Built this stool so my granddaughter could reach the sink to brush her teeth and wash her hands. Made from Ambrosia Maple, glued and screwed with Paduak plugs. Sanded to 400 and waxed. I believe it was a little over 14" tall.

  16. Some random cutting boards

    Here are a few cutting boards I have finished lately. I am new to making them, been doing it for about two months now after being accepted as a vendor into the local farmers market. My real love is box making, but there is no one in my area that makes any cutting boards, so the market is wide...
  17. Miter Saw Station

    Hey guys, as mentioned in my assembly/outfeed table posting, I had a miter station to get posted as well and here it is. Pretty straightforward - again this was one of those "must have" shop projects that needed to be completed before I did much of anything else. As most things just kind of...
  18. Rustic bench

    I have always like live edge pieces. A few years ago, I took down a large maple with a nice crotch in it, along with a hickory and a white oak. I had them sawn into boards and planks. The maple turned out to be mildly infested with the ambrosia beetle. This produces a maple with beetle holes...
  19. Ambrosia Maple Bowl

    My wife has already absconded this bowl to put potpourri in so no inside shots. Turned out of an 8 inch square by 4 inch high ambrosia maple blank that I glued some lacewood on as a cap. Turned fairly easily and I was pleased with the pattern that developed. Is this from a worm, as there were...
  20. Buckeye Boards - Ohio Cutting Boards - Just in Time For Mother's Day

    My wife received a bamboo Ohio cutting board at Christmas, and the my grandma mentioned how much she liked it…seven times. Taking the hint, the wife wanted to buy her one, but I chose to do one better. Using ours as a pattern I made 3 for Mother's day - one for mom, grandma, and mother-in-law...
