My wife and I have needed a new table for a while now. We have three boys who loved to push our lightweight ikea table away when they didn't want their dinner. Good luck with that now! This table is built entirely from SPF lumber. The legs are four laminated 2×6s turned on my lathe. The aprons...

This is certainly my biggest woodworking accomplishment yet beside my continuing home reno. Not sure the house always counts a woodworking though. This is constructed completely from the 2X Cull lumber scrap bin from the BORG. So probably some kind of SPF. Its a Cole Rocking Chair from Mr...

This Santa is my version of the one of the ones featured in "Woodcarving Illustrated Holiday 07 Edition". He is carved from a piece of 2×4 SPF. I am guessing by the way this lumber carved it was more on the Spruce side of the Spruce/Pine/Fur continuum. He is not quite 6" tall and 3" wide.

This 8" platter was turned from a scrap of SPF 2×10 I had laying around the shop. I am just starting to play with dyes and coloring, and didn't want to use expensive hardwoods. The color is KEDA alcohol-based aniline dye, mixed with a bit of clear shellac (about 1 part shellac for 15 parts...

This is my approximation of the Wegner CH-27 chair, woven in a danish cord style with paracord rather than caning like the original. The frame is burned (shou sugi ban) and finished with an exterior matte poly. The two spools of paracord it took to complete were not quite the same in color...

So, I completed my new bench. If you want to read about it, you can read my bench build diary on my blog (in my signature). This was based on the Popular Woodworking article from 2007 where Christopher Schwarz built a workbench out of home centre lumber for $175 including the cost of the face...

Back in 2010/11 we were getting short of bookshelf's in our house so I made these out of SPF. There are 3 in total. The first one I made had the top flush to match the remaining of my older brothers bookshelf's. Then my mom was running out of room so i made here 2 and she wanted to utilize...

The previous projects I made were created mostly by borrowing my Grandpas tools. I no longer have his tools at my disposal, and I would like to start leaning more techniques with hand tools. I made this box to experiment with hand tools. The sides of the box are made form a piece of 2×4...

Here's a project that is easy, inexpensive, and simple to make. I had that want to make something out of wood itch but didn't know what or had a plan. Seeing how like most of us, we have more request to build something than time this is what I chose. I made it for my daughter, who wanted a...

This boot pattern came from "First Projects for Woodcarvers". I carved it out of a piece of 2×4 SPF. At 1 1/2 inches it is a bit thick for this project. The book recommends a thickness of 1 inch to 1 1/4 inch. 3/4 is way to thin. Anyway, this was a first for my and my new Flexcut knife. I...

This is 'Lucky'. He is so named because while carving dimensional framing lumber I have learned you face certain challenges. Anyway poor Lucky here almost lost all of his right hind leg. He will be tender footed from here on out for certain. This is another project from "First Projects for...

My sister-in-law's father found this wood on his father's farm after his father passed away. He brought it back to Ontario and stored it in his workshop until he decided upon a suitable project for it. Sadly he passed away before he could do anything with it. I inherited several of his tools...
