  1. Plywood Tsunami Bandsaw Box

    This is a Lois Ventura design, and using plywood was Allornothumb's idea, but i had to try it out cause it looked cool. Plywood is scraps, laminated into a block. Finish is Watco Medium Walnut Danish Oil, 2 coats wipe on poly, and 1 coat of paste wax. Inside is lined with some blue...
  2. A few crosses

    These are just a few crosses that I have carved. The cross with the wreath stands about 24"T. and is made of butternut with a gel stain. The other two are around 13"T. and are basswood with a stain. The one cross was stained and finished before carving. The two smaller crosses were assembled...
  3. Bed & Blanket Chest

    I built this bed and blanket chest out of Bloodwood with Cherry accents. The bed is kingsize with eight divided drawers. The headboard is a separate piece and is screwed to the wall.
  4. Woodworking Skill Share
    I have a question on buying lumber - I'm very supportive of purchasing from local sawyers; there are so many great local varieties to choose from and I enjoy supporting local small businesses.

    HUGE Eucalyptus score Sheesh. Good thing I have a truck now. I saw a note on craigslist today (online classifieds) that a guy had put "10 to 15 more" eucalyptus logs out in the alleyway behind his house. LA is all blocks split in half by access alleys big enough to drive 2 cars through...

    Rustic Furniture My wife and I often visit our families in the mountains of western North Carolina. We are planning on visiting next weekend and I spoke with my father today and he suggested that we go for a hike while up to look for Morel mushrooms and ramps (a type of wild leak). In the...
  9. Safety in the Woodworking Shop
    Title is a riff on padre's post on band saws. Maybe no one says miter saws have no kickback, but they've long been regarded by me as 'the safe circular saw.' I had the same problem yesterday cutting round stock. After too much work with a great carpenter saw cutting up Eucalyptus logs and...
