Search Results for ‘grain filler’

This is my second and third attemp at cutting boards. The first one is walnut and hard maple. The second one is a copy of the wood wisperers design of purpleheart and hard maple . the third was made as a shadow box for my grandsons room. Had a great time making these.

Small chest that I made for a friend of mine's daughter who is a new elementary school teacher this year. It's walnut with some semi-curly maple inlays. The finish is 2 coats of Sherwin Williams Bright Rubbed CAB-Acrylic. (I love this stuff!) Stick on rubber feet i found at Lowe's. Friction lid...

I need a shelving unit to display my many wood mechanical toys and wood locks. I searched through different shelf designs, and liked this circa 1909 Music Stand design. I stretched the 15 inch wide design to 24.5 inches wide to give more shelf space. I used red oak on this project. I also...

My son asked me to build him this table. He wanted it long skinny to fit behind his couch, so he can put drinks or other things on it. It is the biggest table I have ever built. The table top is 64" long and 18" wide. I used red oak, with Behlen's grain filler on the top and shelf. Because...

My father-in-law was a prolific woodworker, but like many woodworkers, he hated to spend any time on the final finishing process. He usually applied his oil stain, then just 1 coat of polyurethane. Over the decades, the sun and water damage takes it toll on the finish. My wife has this table...

large shadow box with blues jacket half mounted in. Pretty basic box building wise at least. Pine for most of it with Black walnut on the top and corner accents

The wife wanted a coffee table so this is what I tossed together. The top is walnut bordered by birds eye maple. The dutch-men are tiger maple, with the base being sycamore. I had posted this online to get a few opinions about the table and what I was seeing fellow LJ's pointed out as well. The...

My son entered first grade this year, and figured it was a good time to make him a child size work table (this was completed in August, prior to the start of the school year). This would give him a dedicated spot to do his homework, as well as use the computer that was recently "handed down" to...

I made 2 of these clocks in 2013. They turned out nice. I wanted to make the glass removable, so I made a removable back piece with brass screws. I used white oak on those 2 clocks. I simplified the design and decided to make 4 of them from red oak for gifts to family members for Christmas...

This is one of my first projects. I found the plans on the Skil website. I added a few of my own touches, like the sign on the top shelf. If you are interested in making the work bench, the plans are at http://www.skiltools.com/en/UseYourSkil/HowTo/ My four year old now has a better work...

I saw a neat looking simple table design in the Oct/Nov 2013 issue of American Woodworker magazine. It was titled Uncle Bob's Table. I decided to make the same table, but in red oak instead of alder. At the same time, I ran across an article about using grain filler on open grain woods like...

Three Vases turned from Pencil/aromatic cedar

The September 2015 issue of Wood magazine contains plans for a Limbert style end table. I entered the design into Google Sketchup, so I better understand the design, and can print off full scale paper patterns to use on the project. I used red oak for my Limbert end table. I also used...

I made a Chinese Checker Board that can hang on the wall while storing marbles in the board. It's made of Maple and Redheart. Check out the YouTube video if you want to see how I did it… I also provided a drill template for anyone that wants to make one themselves...
