  1. Spalted Birch Lidded Vessel

    This is my first lidded vessel, and the second attempt with the spalted birch log I'm using. The top collar and lid/finial are done in western red cedar. I found it too soft to hold any detail, as small beads and features crumbled too easily. Next time I'll use only a dense hardwoood for a...
  2. Spalted Norfolk Island Pine Vase.

    A while ago I found the tree that this came from laying on the ground. I was told if I buried some of it in the garden it would spalt nicely. Well, I wasn't game to leave it underground for more than 6 months,(we have lots of white ants/termites here) so I dug it up and this is what happened...
  3. Boxguy Sites Google Earth

    A gallery invited me to join other artists in a thematic show. The theme was this: Landscapes. Now if you are "The Box Guy" at a gallery who doesn't do intarsia or stain wood, creating a landscape is a real challenge. I stewed about this for weeks, but when I looked at this newly sliced piece...
  4. Spalted Hackberry Bowl

    While cleaning up the shop a few weeks ago I found a buried crotch log that my dad gave me last year. I cut it in half and turned this with one side. 11" wide and 4" tall. Finish is danish oil. Comments/critques please.
  5. Sword Case

    This is a sword case made for my brother's birthday. He was an exchange student in Spain for a while and feel in love with the culrture and people. While he was there, the family he was staying with intorduced him to a blacksmith that still made swords by hand. This is a Crusader's sword and has...
  6. Red Elm and Ebony

    I went to the Woodworking Show in Tampa, Fl last week and picked up a couple blank turning pieces and this is one of them. I have not turned Spalted Red Elm before and found it a delight to turn although the odor it gives off smells like a horse stall! I learned how to make the unique finial a...
  7. Band Saw Boxes Made From a Gift of Box Elder

    Recently I got a "if it fits, it ships" flat rate box of wood from one of my LJ buddies TechTeacher. He said that he was messing around with it. I think he means a spalting technique. Any way, when I taught school the students made a lot of dust collectors two of which are the snail and the...
  8. Small bowl in spalted birch

    A colleague is leaving us, and I wanted to present him with a memento. In my woodpile I found a nice lump of spalted birch - from a tree by my cabin that didn't survive the rather snowrich winter a couple of years back. I have never turned spalted wood before and had worse problems with tearout...
  9. Another marqueted lid box

    Hi folks, Yet another marqueted poplar box. This one took me quite some time to make, mainly because my thin blades were at the parents' house. This was done in three steps. Alas I can't seem to find the pictures of making the marquetry before adding in the diamond shape. Anyway. I first...
  10. THE BEAUTY OF FUNGI! A SPALTED BASSWOOD BOWL

    This bowl sure gave me a hard time. When I started out with this I intended it to be about nine inches in diameter, & about four inches tall, but the wood wouldn't cooperate with me. The wood was so spalted that it was almost like dry oatmeal. The fibers would keep pulling out, no matter how...
  11. lidded box

    Lidded box turned from spalted wood found on the beach species unknown. The box is about 4"x2".
  12. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I have a problem hoping i can get some feedback. Every project I have ever done has always been small projects, so when it came time to apply the finish I would either brush it on or hand rub the stains into the project, But now I have a new project that i am going to undertake, there is no way...
  13. Wood & Lumber
    Hello All! I'm having a major problem with General Finishes Gel Stain (Java) and General Finishes Gel Topcoat. I am finishing some soft maple and read all kinds of forums on tips for finishing maple since it is blotch prone. There were so many to choose from that I ended up adopting The Wood...
  14. Wood & Lumber
    I recently turned a bowl from some spalted Basswood. I had a heck of a time turning it, because the wood was so soft, & spongy. The fibers would pull out of the wood, no matter how sharp I kept my chisels . The only way I could finally get a decent finish, was sanding, & sanding. I've turned a...
