G'day Here is the dining table I made nearly 2 years ago It was this task that that restarted the interest in woodwork Our old table ( built by a so called expert ) cracked badly and another tradesperson we tried to get to repair that table let us down So I started looking for...

I made this as a last minute gift for my wife's mother.. I used some Huon Pine I brought back from Tasmania recently and matched it up with some New Guinea Rosewood. The arcs were cut on the bandsaw using a variation of the Patron Jig… I have mentioned and used it several times on here… The tray...

These are a couple of boxes I made for my two older sisters. They both have just had 50th wedding anniversaries, so I decided on (almost) matching boxes as my gift to them. The boxes are made from Jarrah and the inserts are Huon Pine. The construction is just mitered corners with rebates for...

The striped dolly took a lot of gluing up, Titebond 111. the result was ok but the hat chipped out so I had to square off the edges. The other lesson learned was with the other dolly. The dress part only needed short blanks glued in that region to get the different coloured effect, rather than...

This is another commission.. a tea box… made from Narra [New Guinea Rosewood] with Purple Heart splines… the insert in the top is Huon Pine and the dividers are European Walnut…small finger grooves on the side to enable the top to be removed… it is a piston fit… What do you think of this… Mike…

This has been on my to do list for a couple of years and I'm elated with the result. The box is made from Huon pine and what I'm calling "Thai teak". This beautiful two tone timber came from some offcuts from a construction site in Thailand from my holiday last year that I lugged back home and...

This box is similar the the earlier two. I went for two small trays this time, just for a change, and used curly jarrah for the lid. Still haven't gotten to the ring holders yet, but that'll come… eventually. I finished the Jarrah with spray lacquer and wax, while the huon Pine got a coat of...

I really didn't want to do this but I had to repost it so it I would have it in my project area. As this is my first proper 3D carving I really had to have it here. This is the origional post here There is more photos there and my initial thoughts after I had finished it. And this is the link...

Here is a Lazy Larry I have not posted before… it has been in a few pics in the background and part of the dress rehearsal display for next Sunday… The outer part is New Guinea Rosewood and the circular inlay is 10 mm thick Huon Pine… I picked this up in Tasmania when I attended the wood show...

Hi all, I tried my hand at a shoulder plane and this is what I came up with. It is from Jarrah and Huon Pine with the wedge from Gidgee. The blade is a Gordon. The body is glued and pinned with brass rod. It is finished with burnishing oil.

Like the title says, a horse carved in Huon Pine… once again the CNC make a great job of carving… took a total of 80 minutes for this one…

This piece was done initially when I was on holiday for a couple of days down the coast. I found the wood which I believe is a piece of Banksia which had literally snapped off the trunk and was rolling around on the sand. The main shape of the piece found was worked around and not altered much...

Janet had a birthday approaching, and I thought I should get into the shed and make something nice for her. Here in Tasmania we have a wonderful timber called Huon pine. It's used by boatbuilders because it won't rot and it's great to work with, giving a beautiful smooth finish. Anyway I'm a...
