This was a fun to turn natural edge bowl with a mystery wood that I later determined to be American Elm. The wood was found in a pile of cut wood on the side of a residential street, with no leaves to look at to help with species identification. I turned this bowl within a week of its being cut...

Twice a week I drove by my favorite firewood yard to no avail. I was running out of green wood to turn when two tons of Elm arrived. Logs were up to 3 feet in diameter and weighed up to 350 lbs because of the high water content. It took two pickup loads to satisfy my eagerness to try turning...

This is my first bandsaw box. It's made from an 28 inch American Elm tree trunk taken down on West Chicago Street in Rapid City, South Dakota about 5 years ago. The wood was turned into flitches on a bandsaw mill in Spearfish, South Dakota owned by woodworker Larry Kellogg. It was produced...

First project made for myself other than shop projects: a valet made of American Elm stock graciously sent to me by LJ member Paul Miller a couple of years ago. If you check my projects, you'll see that this is my second valet - the first was given to my grandson. Stained with MinWax Pecan stain...

I was getting some turning practice with a couple of pieces of American Elm I had stashed away, and these are the results. I just wiped a 2nd coat of BLO on them before taking the photo… not sure what the final finish will be.

This an American Elm bowl with an Walnut foot, I decided to put a textured stripe on this bowl with my new texture tool. Was a little afraid to use the tool since I never even played around with it before this attempt, but all went pretty well and really love this tool now, something new in my...

I was asked by the local brew master to make a fly fishing net for his father, who is an avid fly fisher. He wanted a custom net, so I made a drawing and after making changes to his request, I started. Having never made a net before, I tapped into some of the fishing net videos and realized it...
