This is a reloading bench that I made for my brother. The top is a double thickness of 3/4" MDF glued & screwed together. the doors hide drawers built of 3/4" birch plywood with 1/2" bottoms (shells are heavy). One door hides 2 pull-out trays, for storing flats of 12 gauge shells. We both...

This post has two different bowls. #1~ Natural Edge Three Footed Buggy Bowl. This bowl was turned from a piece of birch I found recently. It was very dry and hard. I could see the beetle tracks before I even started but I wanted to see what I could make with it. I decided before I even...

Hello everybody. Today I want to expose to view new work - round cutting board with epoxy and laser graving. I decided to make the classic version. For boards used beech cherry apple ash and oak.

This is a collection of vases, turned from some Holly branches/tree that my Neighbor took down a few years ago, until recently it's been seasoning in my attic. Each one takes on its character. They are finished with wipe on Poly, and all are thoroughly coated on the inside with a 2-part Epoxy...

I turned this bowl from a walnut log that was not properly dried as the original owner planned to use it for several small carving projects. I was wary of turning anything out of the heavily checked log; however, it stayed together long enough to become a bowl. The last two pictures are...

I recently installed a flat coffered ceiling in our master bedroom. I don't think it turned out too bad. As always, there were things I would change or do differently if I did it again. Thankfully, the room was square which made the project pretty straightforward. I used 1×6 boards with base...

Here's another piece of "furniture of necessity" I've made for my house. My fiance has ordered me time and time again not to walk around the house with my work boots on. The trouble is, I really like to have a place to sit down to take my boots off after work or to put them on in the morning...

This jewelry box is for Sofie, my daughter-in-law. These are actually two goats from Norrøne mythology which the Vikings believed in. Their names are Tanngnjost (sparks from the teeth) and Tanngrisne (openings between the teeth). They belong to Odin's son Tor who was regarded as the next most...

A client/friend of mine wanted to make two new bases for some sculptures he recently purchased. He wanted to make a mesquite base that had "cracks and natural flaws" but also had very smooth squared surfaces that would show off the grain. I took on the job not only because it tested the limits...

No my friends i am not dying, at least nothing diagnosed, but, after thinking it over for some time, i knew i wanted to be buried in my own coffin that i had made, and ive worked on it for some time, being delayed doing other projects, but i have made part one here and will do the top in part 2...

My dad was wanting to cut down a walnut tree that was on the edge of a field and offered me the stump. The rest he was using for firewood. There wasn't anything big enough for lumber. When I saw one of the crotches of a branch I asked to have that as well. This was one half of the crotch and...
