A trio of colored blanks.

I have a bunch of scraps left over from my rocking bench project, and I decided to make a ring out of it. This stuff is on inch and an eighth subflooring plywood, so I had to cut it down to it's current width so it wouldn't be too thick. It's finished in CA, with no stain. I like these and I...

UPDATE 02-17-2017 The grip doesn't look any different, but I was able to hollow it out to hold 3 more bullets. Because of this I strengthened the inside of the Wenge wood coating it in epoxy. I needed a grip extension for my HK, so why not wood! Made from my favorite, African Wenge Wood scraps...

A buddy of mine is rebuilding an old 60's chevy pickup truck. I recently saw a YouTube video about making gear shift knobs so I decide to make one for my friend. I was looking for an interesting design and stumbled upon a turned vase by Malcom J. Tibbetts and decided to emulate it. I first...

This is what I've been working on since the beginning of December, though I first had an idea about doing something like this earlier this year. Its been slow to develop. Its a reversible cube box with all corners (and the lid) hinged. It has a birch ply liner (keyed into the slot in the bottom...

Got a deal on a 3/4 HP Jet 12-20 for $150 and decided to start making some pens. I made about 10 pens without CA finish. The local woodcraft dealer talked me into buying Hut finishing product which I was not impressed with. After experimenting I was able to get a descent "CA" finish from many...

A buddy of mine went to the swap meet and brought me back too old planes (a Sargent 217 and an old Dunlap) and a Proto screwdriver. He said "keep the tools if you can put a handle on this old ice pick I picked up." So… what do ya think? Curly Maple and Jatoba. The "sheath" is held on by hidden...

Lately, I have been really fascinated with hollow forms. This is by far the largest hollow form I have made to date. I didn't know what this piece would be going in. My friend gave me this chunk of wood which had some significant issues including large voids, inclusions, and cracks. To mount it...

This project is the second time that I have used glitter and CA to fill a void in a piece of wood. This project came about because I wanted to try the glitter/CA process again and because I was looking for a project that I could make to sell fairly quickly that would provide some practice at a...

I finished up these 3 fountain pens for a friend today. My first sold pieces! They are zircote, walnut and rosewood. I tried really hard to make sure that when the cap was screwed to the top that the grain lines would match up, but then I forgot to line up the clip and the nib, worked out on...

Here are a few new pens I have turned and used a CA finish. The first in chrome is purpleheart with yellowheart. Second is made from a wine barrel from a local winery. Third is from Canadian oak on a cross cut and the fourth is Cocobolo. I love making these.

Boys and Girls, This morning, as usual, I got out of bed, had my pick-me-up cask of vino, ready to make a further fool of myself! To be 100% politically correct, I probably should have posted this as a blog, however, it does incorporate a number of finished timber products and will probably...

Figured camphor with blue alumilite and maple burl pull. The underside of the lid has been textured with the Robert Sorry texturing/spiralling tool. The finish is 12 coats of Starbond CA, wet sanded and buffed. This combo of figure and finish is amazing!

Stemmed hollowform made of spalted curly sweetgum with brass inlays, a maple collar, and walnut base and finial. I have wanted to make one of these for a while now and finally got around to it. I started turning this piece while testing some equipment after which I left the uncompleted blank in...
