  1. Intarsia Lion's New Mate (Lioness).

    This one was just finished. I made the original male lion last year for my parents (last two pictures). They loved it so much and were so happy to have it I wanted to do a female to match. I hope you can see some small improvements because when I made the first one I had only been doing...
  2. Full-Size Coffin Bookcase

    My adult daughter's life revolves around "The Walking Dead" and zombies. Her whole house is decorated with a zombies-inspired theme. She asked me to build a coffin bookcase for her birthday. This is the finished project, made from pine with a clear polyurethane finish.
  3. Matching game for little ones

    Yet some more Christmas gifts this year. These are shape/color matching games for little nieces and nephews. I tried to cut the shape out of stock, much like a spindle, or a roll of cookies :) And then just "slice" the blocks from the shape. This worked ok, but I learned that next time I...
  4. Cholla & Epoxy Bowl (#37)

    Another cholla and epoxy turned bowl. This time the cholla canes were laid horizontally, and I mixed different colors of epoxy and tilted the bowl for each pour. The bowl is just over 9 inches in diameter, and just under 2 inches high, or 23cm x 9cm. There's a blog, which mostly covers...
  5. Blue box

    Just a simple pine glue up and used a bandsaw to cut out. This was my first attempt at the Shou sugi ban coloring technique. Burned the wood with a torch. Then spray painted and quickly wiped off. I then sanded the spots I wanted grain to show.
  6. Homemade Table Saw

    Since we are arranging our first new workshop, we truly believe that a tablesaw is one of the necessary tool for everyone who is into woodworking with power tools. The main goal was to build a sturdy table, with a wide working surface, with the minimum amount of money: the overall cost was about...
  7. Carved Cedar Sign

    I carved my friend's business name into a piece of scrap cedar that hubby LJ trimmed up for me to have a little decoration around the edge.
  8. Finishing
    Hello I am hoping to benefit from WW pros out there. I would like to stain my floors with white stain, about 600 sqft. I believe this wood floor, 2", was installed in the 80s over the original pine flooring (from the 1920s). I was looking at Cabot and General Finish. It seems water based stain...

    Trying to get back in the swing - new project OK - so I'm finally getting back to doing things. Small stuff mostly and easy things. So I'm thinking of making a cutting board for my sister-in-law. A board for cutting bread. She makes the best homemade bread!! Anyway - this is what I'm trying to...

    Building the blank Started making the pieces for another cholla bowl this morning, and figured there's been enough interest in what I've done that I should write it up. The first step is building a base on a faceplate for my lathe. I've been aiming at bowls that are 6-10 inches in diameter, so...

  13. Wood & Lumber
    Below are photos of the three samples I placed beside a freshly planed piece of beech which will will be the main lumber for my bench. I am looking for a contrasting color for the dovetail end caps, leg vise, maybe the dogs, deadman, etc. Thanks for sharing your opinions, it may influence which...
