To me an anchor enchants me with many thoughts. Sometimes, very similar to they way a tree does. It reminds me of strength, life, journey, blessings, and dependance. I have always wanted to make one and decided that black walnut was a nice choice of wood. It's darkness reminds me of the depth of...

I've raided the wood pile again. The primary wood is Alder which was the firewood. I used some scrap Juniper for the liner and Black Walnut for the splines. It's finished with three coats of wipe on Poly.

Saw this posted by KnotCurser a Few Days Ago So I made a couple and promptly gave them away. Now I don't have one, so I guess I'll have to make another for myself. Surprisingly - This is a moderately difficult puzzle. Dice - Hard Maple Pips and Box - Black Walnut Finish - Watco "natural" oil...

I get very little black walnut. So for those of you offended by my leaving some sapwood on here , it was a small tree so I was trying to stretch it as far as i can. I do like the contrast though. The lids are old oak with with black walnut hinges. The inner trays are old poplar. Missing hinge...

I made this pen case for someone who wanted it for their boyfriend because he loves pens. The wood is black walnut, the finish is shellac. I used felt for the pen holders, and the pen trays can be easily removed and replaced when necessary. I don't have a picture of this, but it is also...

This bar was a cooperative effort between myself and a buddy for his basement den. He brought me a big walnut log to cut up on my sawmill. Everything was kiln-dried and then the preparation began. He had the bar top sanded in a wide belt sander and then began cleaning the natural edges. I took...

This is really one of my first woodworking project since I started it in highschool (15 years ago!), although I didn't finish it until about 7 years after (8 years ago). I started the legs in highschool not having any idea how much work they would be. After highschool I didn't feel I had the...

Thanks for checking it out, it's a dresser for my our one on the way. There's also going to be a small frame that will sit on top to allow for changing table. I couldn't justify building something just for changing, didn't seem worth it. The dresser is full sized, based off dimensions of our...

After visiting a couple rustic furniture stores looking for a new bed set I decided to save some money and attempt to do the project on my own. After taking a walk in the woods I was lucky enough to find a under rooted black walnut tree. The tree was already dead but not dried out enough. So...

Last month I made my second intarsia Heron for a girlfriend of mine in Southern Ca. She absolutely loves the bird (Heron). Awhile back I made my first one out of a piece of pine destined for our wood stove. When I saw the colors in this wood I thought this would be perfect for a "Blue Heron" I...

This is the last of the black walnut that I have. The last one I posted I was CHASTIZED for saying it was a George Nakashima style piece because of the steel legs, the finish and the right angles. Well, on this one I used what the tree and man provided me. When this piece was first harvested...

I designed and created the TIE Fighter Box for a Star Wars themed art Exhibit that happened in May. For those that don't know May is Star Wars month (especially May 4th…May the 4th be with you). I turned the main body out of hard maple. I first turned a rough cylinder and added all my layout...
