  1. Ash wood desk

    I've been working on this desk build for months now and I'm so happy to finally be done! First I built the 3 base cabinets from 3/4 ply finished with Polo Blue cabinet paint. Then I spent a few days cleaning out my home office and making space… And finally got to work on the desk top! This 7+...
  2. Amphora Display "Sparta"

    "Sparta" Wall-mounted display-cabinet. Made of European oak, and birch. The finish is several layers of clear Osmo-oil. _ I made this wall mounted display-cabinet in 2010, to house my Greek Amphora (ancient vine/oil vase). It originates from the harbor of Athens (Pireous). My father got his...
  3. Baltic Birch shelf unit

    I reverse engineered a Scandinavian design shelf unit in my office (basically because I wanted another, and it'll be out of stock, like forever). When I bought the 1/2" BB the local supplier said, "be sure to kiss it goodbye when you cut it. We won't see that in stock in the next few years.)...
  4. Nakashima style coffee table

    Made a Nakashima inspired coffee/end table for my office. Had an off cut from a 12-4 slab of walnut that was pretty punky and warped, stabilized with resin and flattened with router sled, and lost like half the thickness but the final proportions look good to me. Base is from a 14 inch wide...
  5. My Son’s Crib

    Built in summer of 2018 to welcome my son to our world. Frames are made of black walnut and were finished with Osmo Polyx Hardwax Oil. Stub tenon joinery was used. Slats are hard maple and were prefinished with General Finishes Arm-R-Seal prior to assembly. Material choices were inspired by Matt...
  6. Cherry Coffee Table, bowties, a little epoxy, and Osmo Polyx

    A friend gave me this cherry slab 2 years ago and it wasn't quite dry enough to work with. After a couple years in climate control with good air movement I was comfortable machining it. Built a router sled, flattened the top, removed as much bark and waste as possible from the crack, learned...
  7. Earring Box

    Not my best work to go with not my best week. A few days before my wife's birthday we found out she was going to inevitably have a miscarriage. After some thought about what I could get her for her birthday I in light of that news I went out to the jewelry store and found earrings with white...
  8. Custom Hardwood iPhone 4 Back Panel

    I went looking for a wooden back panel for my iPhone and was shocked to see the two companies selling them were charging $90-130. So, I decided I could easily make the same (maybe even better) for much less. Here are a couple of prototypes I've made so far. They are both walnut, and the second...
  9. Live Edge Black Walnut Table

    My wife and I just finished our second live edge table. This time we used a slab of Black Walnut we got in North Carolina for the top and used some Hard Maple that we bought at the local hardwood lumber hard for the base. We hand planed the walnut to get it close to co-planar and also cut the...
  10. K-cup coffee holder - Lacewood

    The wife asked for a small rack to hold our K-cups on the kitchen counter next to the coffee machine. I had a small 3"x24"x0.5" lacewood board that seemed right for this project. I found a nice plan in a recent woodworking magazine and modified it to fit my design. I cut and milled all the...
  11. Finishing
    Hi all. Can anyone help me PLEASE!! I am fitting a new kitchen in my own house, and, decided to go for Iroko tops. They look great and I am happy with that. The problem is the oil I have used doesn't appear to by drying in properly. I was going to use this Osmo Top Oil but on the Osmo site...
  12. Woodworking Skill Share
    Hi All, I'm hoping somebody with a Grizzly 1022 contractor saw can help me understand how the blade height locking mechanism is supposed to work. I've gone through the mechanism and made sure all the collars are tight and everything seems to be in order. However, when I set the blade height...
  13. Finishing
    So my wife is considering putting a walnut top on the vanity in our downstairs bathroom. I've already made the vanity - which is also walnut - but the original plan was to have quartz or marble as the top. A surface mounted vessel sink will complete the look. Obviously bathrooms come with...
  14. Finishing
    I have a monkey pod wood coffee table that I'm refinishing for a relative. It's essentially a diagonal slice out of a log with three legs. I wanted to try Osmo Polyx-Oil because it seemed easy and they wanted a more natural finish. The edges and legs turned out great. The top, however, is all...
  15. Finishing
    Hi all, I've been a big fan of the Osmo range and I'm wanting to check if anyone else has come across the same problem (or if this is expected and normal) I have raw solid timber flooring (Blackbutt) and I've been experimenting with two Osmo stains - graphite oil stain and black wood wax -...
  16. Finishing
    I'm loving hard wax oil finishes like Odie's Oil, Rubio Monocoat, etc. But I'm looking for one that doesn't amber wood so much. Below is a picture of Odie's regular formula on hickory. Great, but definitely too yellow for my project. The manufacture of Osmo Polyx Raw claims it will keep the...
