I learned a lesson this week. It takes no longer to work with good wood than it does to work with flawed wood. I had a piece of what I thought was nice walnut. After assembly and during sanding I realized it was brittle. There are several spots where the wood chipped out while being sanded...

I refinished the stock on my SKS rifle. I applied furniture stripper and scraped the finish off. I sprayed it with Krud Kutter and used a soft brush to get the remaining finish/stripper off. I then put the stock in the bath tub with very hot water and used a soft brush to remove all residue...

More short box turkey calls. The first 5 are Eastern Red Cedar and the last two are Mineral Stained Poplar. I took one shot with different light so you could see some of the color and detail in that poplar regular lighting blew the colors out.

After recently having a baby boy I had completed most of the baby proofing stuff people normally do but I had a couple other challenges there were not simple solutions to. One of them was the fact that I have an aquarium and some cat food bowls that needed to be kept separate from the baby...

Vanity I built to match an antique makeup table/ mirror. I templated the top and upscaled it to vanity dimensions to get the shape. I take no responsibility for the finish. The homeowner had their painter do a crackle finish on it, wouldn't have been my choice.
