This 5.5x2” bowl is known as Bolivian Rosewood or Morado. Unknown actual name but it appears comes from South America and the wood has extremely high oil content. This is another bowl I turned a month ago but it would not take a finish. Due to so many coats of lacquer and sanding between, brand...

Hello all. My wife has been wanting a large spoon for a while now, she gave me a picture of what she wanted & this is what she got. It's just about 8" long, 1 1/2" thick with a 3" cup/bowl on it. I used maple as a base wood with morado rosewood (I think it's part of the rosewood family) for the...

This entry way table is the second version of my bridge inspired table. Inspired after the lilac rd bridge in San Diego Ca. It's designed with the same elements as my previous piece, but made to fit in a specific location in a clients entry way. The client wanted a piece that would draw...

These lamps are for our master bedroom in Arizona. They are 17 inches tall and the body is 4.5" square. The face design pattern came from Don Jovag's book "Segmented Bowls for the Beginning Turner". Woods used are walnut, hard maple, bloodwood & morado. I chose bloodwood over padauk since it...

Bed Pan Banjo that I made for our president of the LCMS. I used paduak for the fretboard and Morado for the neck. I used a tambourine top for the top of the banjo. It is a five string banjo. Rev. Harrison loved it.

I got the inspiration for this box by one that Jim Sellers posted, the link to his project is below. Thanks Jim! http://widgets.lumberjocks.com/project/97198.jpg[/img][/url[/URL]] I used Morado, also know as Pau Ferro, for the box and Maple for the tambours. My first time using a router with...

I was out of a project so thought a wood box using as much lumber as already had would be fun. The materials on hand largely determined the box size. 13.25" x 10" x 3.25" tall. I had not done blind dovetails since 2019 for my jewelry box project that is posted on this site. Had a piece a...

Another pet urn box, this time for one of our own. Curly maple, cherry, and pau ferro.

Do you ever have a day when you go into the shop with no idea what you are going to work on? That was me this morning. I knew I had some scrap Morado and Birch lying around so I grabbed a pencil and pad and came up with the design for this Votive Candleholder. A very simple design but the...

My latest project. I used 18 different woods in this for contrast.

This is my son's cigar box guitar that I made him. I used a Cohiba box with Morado and birdseye maple for the neck. It has a piezo pickup as well as a Ted Crocker pickup in the middle. The box was orginally maple color but I had to strip it down and stain it burgandy. I airbrush a sunburst and...

Another guitar I just made. It is an older bed pan (urinal) guitar. It ihas 6 strings and I piezo pickup. I used morado and shedua as the fret board. The fret markers are paduak. The bed pan really resonates. The bridge is purpleheart and deer antler.

Well, here is the first knife handle I've ever made. My nephew asked me to make him a handle for his knife & this is what I came up with. This is just a cheap knife but he wanted something made from me. I inlaid some turquoise in the front & the other end is painted white in the groove with...

I picked up a piece of morado from the scrap bin at a wood store and was intrigued by the sharp contrast between the sapwood and heartwood. Each coaster is made of four strips, placed in an alternating pattern. The join lines are just about invisible. Special Note 1: I couldn't do my normal...

It is that time again; time to make Christmas gifts for the kids. These are made from a kit that features a bering on the axle. It takes a little practice, but the bering make it much easier to to tricks. In addition to getting Christmas gifts out of the way, I found this to be a great skill...

This pen was turned on an endgrain blank, crosscut across the width of the board, rather than ripped along the length. The box (from a Doug Stowe design) was made of Jatoba with Fishtail Oak end scales. 5mm barrel hinges. Finish is General Finishes Arm-R-Seal wipe on. Tray liner is the...

I made this smoothing plane for the plane swap. The iron is bedded at 50° w/ a fantastic Nice Ash iron, thanks Rhett. I used white oak for the body and Morado for the sole, the wedge is lacewood. I also made the adjusting hammer to go with it. This is clearly a Krenov style plane all the...

My toddlers have these jumbo pencils that make it easy on little developing hands to hold and write. As I watched them, it came to me how uncomfortable my tite mark gauge was on my figers. It feels awkward trying to mark boards because the stem is so thin and the round knife is hard to keep...
