  1. Fungus Box

    I love boxes with unique grains and features. This one is made with maple. It has eye catching designs throughout. The wood is referred to as "Ambrosia Maple." Now you might think ambrosia is a type of maple. Maybe even a type of wood… but it's not. Ambrosia is a beetle that burrows into...
  2. Picture Frame

    My wife and I stopped by the Roycroft Campus gift shop and saw these frames and we both loved them. They were really expensive. They looked pretty easy, so I came home and made one. I was really easy. I've made a few more since then. Traditional would be quartersawn oak. I have lots of...
  3. Folding Side Tables To Match Chairs with Cutlist

    A lady who bought 2 of my folding tall chairs this summer called and asked if I could build her a tall folding side table to go with the chairs to put coffee/drinks on. Why didn't I think of that? So I designed and built this one from the same recycled barn wood as her chairs. She picked it up...

  7. Wood & Lumber
    I'm not finding a lot of information with a web search. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places. So I thought I'd ask the folks here… Kalispell, MT is cutting down some 100 year old elms that have succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease. I'm not an arborist, but I hate to see that large lumber go...
  8. Wood & Lumber
    I have an oak tree that had some trunk rot and collapsed in a recent storm. I'm going to try to get lumber from it. Don't have a bandsaw yet, but hope to get one soon. So I'm just cutting the trunk into manageable lengths and sealing the ends. Should I trim the rot off the trunk before I seal...

    Karson mentioned this handbook in a comment he posted on a bending machine someone had posted here, so I looked it up, and was amazed at the amount of information held in this book. from structural characteristics of different wood species, to milling, staining, deceases, infections, drying, and...
