Walnut and crushed malachite. 10"x5"

Getting comfortable turning bigger things and using my jaw chucks. The candle holder on left is completely unfinished, just well sanded (which is why my hand print showed up… sigh...). But hey, that's what Momma wanted! On the right I used mineral oil and I really like how it turned out. The...

Made these two for my sister while she was here visiting last summer. Woods are wenge, maple and jarrah. Design was a bit of a f*#& up. Finished with a combination of mineral oil and beeswax.

When I decided to build this table I had one purpose in mind, to break the misconception of making a table from Popular wood. Not that Popular would be a unique wood, but more that this particular piece of popular was breaking the mold on the conception of what this species of wood looked like...

This was a project I did by hand with a sanding block last night from pen blanks. I'm learning about cutting boards at the moment, so I started with a small onion or tomato cutting board. The last picture is before oiling. You can view my step-by-step on this from start to finish at...

A neighborhood friend had an olive tree cut down in his yard several years ago. He had the trunk sliced into cookies and has been using them as stepping stones in his garden for years. He realized there may be nice grain in there so he asked me if I might be able to make a serving board or two...

I needed a quick way to true up some pallet boards that I wanted to use on a project (more on that later) and used a couple of hold downs (almost bought them at a woodworking store, but discovered some at Harbor Freight for about $3.50 each…have I ever mentioned that I was cheap?) I took 2...

I decided to experiment with the live edge stuff. I had a black walnut log that was sitting outside for about 6 months. It's a small one, only 6" diameter. I split the log and then planed down both side. It has two cracks, one on each end. My question is…..Will the board continue to split if it...

Here is this years pride and joy! After I finished the Lowboy, I was ready for another challenge. I originally wanted to build another lowboy, in a different species, but started contemplating a Highboy. So I ordered the plan from New Yankee, and a set of legs, and here it is. Every aspect...

All natural cedar shot glasses (cups???). Nothing special here, cedar with mineral oil. It IS, however, the first thing to sell on my Etsy page!!! (well, first thing to sell to someone I DON'T know anyway…)

Just finished up a 6 drawer dresser I have been chipping away at for the last month. It is a modern/contemporary style piece that is attached to the wall studs to create the float look. The whole unit is made out of solid cherry wood that was gifted to me by my wonderful neighbor who had a...

This cutting board is made from maple and walnut. This was the first project that I was able to do because of my new Ridgid planer. It was so neat after gluing the pieces together, to plane it, and have it come out, like magic, all the same thickness and actually shiny. I gave it to my son who...

I have been thinking of several ideas for smaller items to build, especially with Christmas coming soon. I decided to build a cutting board, and was excited to see all the different varieties online. I had a nice piece of Maple left over from one of my projects, and thought it would make a...
