  1. Benefit Auction Pieces

    Hi guys, Im excited to show my recent project. I was given the wonderful opportunity to contribute a few pieces to a benefit auction. A family we know was raising the last of the expenses to adopt two children from Haiti. I was also really excited to find this gorgeous piece of Birdseye Maple...
  2. LJ's Inspired Cheese Slicer Fun

    Thanks to sPalm, DeGoose and countless others who share these great ideas and inspire me to continue to learn and grow as a woodworker. I have spent so much time with End Grain that it was fun to not have to sand so much and work on my finishing skills with face grain. It was a completely...
  3. Open Weave Cutting Board Inspired by Lumber Jockers Just like YOU!

    I just couldn't resist trying. It was an extreme exercise in Patience and Precision. The glue up was loads of fun…and incredibly nerve wracking! Any gaps would have rendered a pricey cutting board into a heavy serving tray. But, I managed to prevail and serve up two beautiful boards that are...
  4. 7 Cutting Boards

    I was asked to make some face grain cutting boards to hold loaves of bread that would be given out as gifts this year for a family reunion. The requester also wanted me to help her get rid of a hutch. Since the boards were supposed to be simple and "rustic," I decided to re-purpose the hutch and...
  5. More Week-end turnings

    My 1st natural edge bowl from Walnut and the second thingy is what I call a winged bowl; don't know what else to call it, also walnut.
  6. From that to this

    Lots of cutoffs/scraps can really be turned into some nice boards. These are all face grain - and the pile in the bin made more - but you get the idea. Every small cutoff can be used for something. It's actually pretty fun mixing and matching cutoffs to get something that is pleasing to my eye...
  7. Face Grain Board (Cheese/Cutting/Bread/Serving?)

    Been a while since I've really spent any quality time in the shop, but the Christmas season took care of that. This is for my sister-in-law, who I drew for our Secret Santa exchange this year. They entertain friends rather often, and I started this thinking of it as a "cheese board," for...
  8. Designing Woodworking Projects
    So far all the cutting boards I've made have been end grain due to the fact I've liked the designs better and the durability of them is better. My parent s have asked me to make them two cutting boards the slide into slots under the counter, and above the cabinets below. they will only be 3/4"...
  9. Hand Tools
    Hi Everyone, This is my first post because, after hours of searching, I haven't been able to find a good answer to this question. I am a limited hand tool user, but have found a hand plane to be invaluable for several tasks. One of which is quickly flushing joints that are not perfectly...
  10. Blogs
    I was asked for this primer - hope it helps I was asked by several newbies if I would take some time to do a blog on building cutting boards that will cover the basics that may not get covered in the blogs/forums that detail how to do the real fancy boards that we all aspire to. So I'm going to...
  11. Woodworking Skill Share
    Have you ever thought of making the face grain width a little wider and using Biscuit Joints for strength? This would allow for a thinner board with increased strength. I have some 15/16th inch pecan that would make a beautiful cutting board and I'm thinking of giving this a try. Any thought...
