My second goblet, and my first segmented piece. Simple design and a captive ring set loose by my skew chisel. Could anybody identify the darker wood for me?

A couple more of my segmented goblets. The darker wood is mahogany and the lighter wood i'm not so sure, maybe spotted gum. Watch my youtube video of how to make these goblets at;

This is a mallet I made for my daughter, it is made from oak and a piece of blockboard for a little contrast. I consider this my best mallet to date. I finished it with boiled linseed oil and then added a topcoat or two of 50/50 clear Shellac and denatured alcohol. The handle shape is a little...

I bought this old saw used and refurbished it. Had no guard, and I can't even figure out a model number or find any spare parts. So the over-arm seems like the only solution. For a light-duty user like me, this unit from PSI seems pretty nifty. It adjusts every direction you can think of, and...

This is my Morris Chair. It is made from pine that I got for free from a friend of a friend's old bookshelf. When I got the wood some of it was badly warped, there were a few screw holes in a bunch of places that I had to plug, and it was discolored from years of use so I pre-sanded everything...

This bowl constitutes the psychic redemption of a failed bowl I attempted some years ago. More pictures here I set about making a cocobolo hollow vessel a few years ago, intending it for a gift for some friends. I worked myself into a corner, and realized I had bitten off more than I could...

It's been a little while since I last posted pictures of wooden rings, so here's an update. These are some of the more recent wood combinations I've been experimenting with. There are so many possibilities with these things! :) Hawaiian Koa (shimmer feature) ring with offset Ziricote inlay...

I got the idea for this bench from the following site: http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2014/08/diy-upholstered-bench.html The only thing I did differently from that site is the top of the bench which I made from 2×4's. Everything is pine. I purchased the legs from Osborne Wood. I've never...

This was my first commissioning for a furniture piece. The proud parents of a college graduate wanted to give their son something that would last. First of all, I have to give credit to fellow LJ'er Jonathan Szczepanski as I used his Hope Chest design as my inspiration. The project...

These are my kitchen cabinets. I really like dark/light contrast in wood working and decided to theme my kitchen cabinets aroung that. I built them about 12 years ago and have been very happy about how the glue ups have held. I had two doors that twisted a little bit but I was able to recut...
