This was a small project I took on for a friend. He purchased the wood and asked me to build it to his specifications. The woods are Cacao de ************************* and Spalted Maple. It has through dovetails on all four corners and sliding dovetails for the shelves. I made quick work of it on the Leigh Jig.

Here is another GoodWill "Re-Build" Spalted Maple Travel Mug. 8 piece Staved construction. Started with one of those travel mugs that have a stainless steel lower section with the plastic inside and bottom. Removed the bottom and trimmed. Removed the stainless and replaced with the Maple...

So this box spent a year of it's life messed up and unfinished, holding sandpaper on the workbench. I had originally set this box up for a dowel hinge, and realized I cut the slot for the tray way to high for this to work well. Instead of burning it, I kept it for a less glorified use...

I received some veneer samples recently, and among a lot of pretty sheets was this one white tulipwood. I'm 90% sure that dye has been used here but it looks so natural and the white-on-white figuring has transitions that resemble a light bronze metal. I couldn't be happier with the finished...

After 7 months of working on this project (the past 5 of which, I've touched this thing maybe 5 minutes every other week), I'm finally done! I kept track of this somewhat here: http://lumberjocks.com/superstretch/blog/series/4846 A coworker of mine wanted a custom stand for his knives (the five...

Here's my second box in this design. This one is virtually the same as my earlier post but instead of 1/4" steel to connect the legs and for the handle, I rounded up some walnut instead. I wanted to do something a little different with the handle so I drilled through the little curved pieces and...

I'm sure everyone recognizes this box. I made this for my sister for Christmas last year. It is of course based off of the design I believe was published in Wood Magazine a while ago. I didn't actually have the plans or the article but I had a couple of pictures from the internet I used as a...

This a Tea Box I made for the 2017 Copper Country Chapter of the Trout Unlimited conservation banquet silent auction. I forgot to take pictures befor bringing it to the banquet so I apologize for the wash out pictures. The last photo shows the proud winner of the box. State Representative Scott...

Dish from spalted maple. 4" diameter, 2" tall.

I bought this piece of Spalted maple from a lumber mill on a whim while buying other boards for a different project. When I sanded it I was blown away with the spalt patterns. This piece has natural reds and some blue in it! Just a gorgeous piece of wood with beautiful grain. I decided to make a...

More spalted maple. Top is book-matched pieces and the ends/feet are held in place with four small cherry pins along each side. The red is inlayed sand and CA glue. It measures 13" x 8" and is 2" tall. Finished with several coats of Danish oil. Thanks for the looks and comments.

These are a handful of spalted maple pendants that I have made as christmas gifts. They are all roughly 2"-2.5" and shaped on my belt sander then hand sanded smooth (the wife helped with that part). The finish is 3 coats of lacquer then a coat of wax. the bails I picked up at a local craft shop...

Rescued a chunk of spalted maple from my parents firewood pile. This is the first turning from that log.

Second turning from a piece of spalted maple rescued from my parents firewood pile. Gotta love that grain!

these boxes are also gifts. Last DEC. I was given a block of spalted Maple approx. 13" sq. x 20" long. It's moisture content was way over 20 o/o. My friend and yours, KARSON MORRISOM, & I whet to Dover Windows & doors where they had a bandsaw large enough to resaw the block. I had various...

No posts lately as I was on my annual trek back to Alabama to visit family. Last year we took down a maple and I was worried that it would be a little too far gone by this summer to be useful. It's a little punky near the edges, and a little pit marked, but I like working with wood like this...

I'm not quite sure what it is but I saved it from getting burned for heat. This was a chunk of firewood that my friend and I cut from a wind-downed maple tree about 4 or 5 years ago. I had been sitting outside in the weather and I decided to trim it up a bit and stick it on the lathe. It isn't...

I found a craigslist ad a while ago of who was offering a bunch of 8/4 walnut cut offs. They sat in the basement for a while until I had the idea to do a "Modern Federal Farmhouse" style desk. I figured if most of the wood was free, might as well have some fun and experiment a bit. The top is...

This part of that Spalted stash. It is 8 inch in Diameter and 3 1/2 tall. This is the largest overall size bowl I've done yet.
