  1. Walnut dining table, big project of '13

    This is a live edge, book matched walnut slab table with ebony inlay. I made this for the new addition to my father's house I completed last year. The table is just over 12 feet long, averages about 41 inches wide and is mostly 1 7/8 inches thick. The boards had a bit too much crook in them...

  2. A Simple Broom Rack

    This project is pretty simple and utilitarian - just a few pegs to hold brooms and mops in the laundry room. But since I wanted to make it (almost) entirely from materials I had on had, I got to experiment with a few new techniques. I decided to make it from walnut. The only scrap I had was a...

  3. Solid Oak Dinning Table w/ Heart Woods Inserts

    This is a dining table I made for a friend of mine at my church. He has done a lot of missionary work in Honduras over the years. On these trips he brought back purple heart, red heart and green heart boards. I've seen purple heart but I had never heard or seen red and green heart before. I do...

  4. First try at a 3D cutting board.

    The hardest part of this was glueing up. I used good strong rubber bands to glue three sections at a time, then bigger bands for the next level. Patience is a virtue. The smaller the segments the better the effect. I used Black American Walnut, Hard Maple and Red Cabbage Bark (an Australian...

  5. Ayous picture frame

    This picture frame was made of ayous, because it is dense but still very light wood, what makes it perfect for frames. Finished with black spray colour. Dimensions 34×34x5cm and 30×40x5cm. It was made on request to accomodate a kind of cap which was a part of Croatian national costume (last photo).

    I'm using Minwax warm satin oil-based poly on some cabinets. I just applied the third and final coat this morning. After the second coat, things were looking good so I took a test board and used mineral spirits and 0000 steel wool to try a quick rub out. I slightly dampened the steel wool...

    Finish your finish Just a quickie video encouraging everyone to rub out your poly or lacquer finishes. This is really a simple method that I use all the time to get a nice, bump-free, satin finish. There are a lot of ways to rub out a finish - all the way up to a high-gloss piano finish. But...

    I've got a project on which I'm applying a shellac finish. I bought some micro-mesh sanding disks to smooth and buff/rub it out to a gloss finish. In my experience dry sanding shellac always clogs the sand paper, and I don't want to clog the pricey micro-mesh, so I thought I'd wet sand. But what...

    I've posted some links here to some great finishing recipes from some of the Jocks on this site. I think I'm missing a lot, and I'm looking for more input from those that I've left out. I'm looking for some of your finishing recipes that you all use. It would be nice to compile one topic with...

    I will be rubbing out an oil based poly finish after it has had a few weeks to fully cure. The advice I read in all forums was to really build up the finish. But they also discussed the witness lines that occur if you sand through one coat into another. So here's my question; If the rubbing...

    Hey guys & gals, I have done a few polished surfaces, but only to a gloss and semi-gloss finish. I use the method Charles Neil uses by sanding then moving on to polishes/compounds for the higher gloss. My project requires polishing to a satin sheen. The topcoat is General Finishes Conversion...

    I know some finishes dry hard and bond well enough to previous coats (like shellac) that it's easy to sand and polish them to a high gloss. Except for pianos, I can't find many examples of people doing it with paint, though. I assume lacquer would work fine. Latex…probably not. I tried a...
