I had decided it was time to surprise Blondie with something for a change. There have been a lot of projects that left the shop and went to other customers or friends and family as gifts. She had noticed this Jewelry Box while reading Wood Magazine Dec/Jan 2009/2010 addition and Loved it! ( Yes...

Long time no post. The last few years my woodworking has mostly consisted of pen turning. At some point I'll post a few of my favorites that I've made. For now, I'll post these two. A couple weeks ago I was feeling festive and decided to make some segmented Christmas colored pens. The segmented...

Segmented vessel made from stabilized spalted maple and black walnut.

"Use a Coaster!" is a trigger memory from my misspent youth as I set a wet glass on some random "new" or "family heirloom" piece of furniture. More so after seeing some of these every day objects recreated here on LJs, I decided to make a few just because. Not quite to the standard of " the...

Another in the series. Stabilized birch dyed black this time. 2 inches (50mm) high by 1.8 inches (45mm) diameter at the top. Kept this one plain and concentrated on thin, even side walls. Calipers say between 3/32 and 1/8 inch (2-3mm). One crack in the side got a couple drops of thin CA glue...

Another through-tang carving knife using a Morakniv 120 blade blank. Stabilized sweet gum from a friend's place in St. Louis, with blue and black dye. Also brass bolster from a batch made for me by a friend with a mill. Learned a few more things not to do while putting this one together, but...

I have a customer that just loves these pens and has ordered a number of them in the past to give as gifts. When they were discounted I did not think I would get any more. But WC had them in their Clearance section online and I called the local store to see if they could order. The kit is...

This idea came from those who are always shouting "more storage"! Just your basic chest of drawers with some flourishes. Dimensions are 20"W x 8"D x 9"H, constructed with Russian olive and walnut (primary woods), maple as a secondary wood. Construction is frame & panel. EDIT: The finish is...

This mallet is stabilized hard maple. I rough-turned the blank for the head, and stabilized it with Cactus Juice, then finish turned it. The handle is also hard maple. The head is not glued to the handle … the handle is a 1" diameter shaft that goes all the way through the head and is held is...

Well the end of the my daughter's 8th grade year is approaching (truly can not believe that) She is looking toward a large project in the shop which I'll talk more about here later as well as making something for a number of teachers and administrators that have been working with here at school...

This is my second attempt at making a Hidden tang/scandi style knife. I really like how this one turned out. Its a Puronvarsi blade, brass guard, leather washers, brass spacer, and stabilized birch burl. Took me a while to find a handle shape that I liked but once I did it all started to come...

OK..a little bit of a long winded post here. Buckeye burl; it has been a bit of an obsession for me ( in my mind anyway) for a while now. Hard to find wood. Once I finally got my mitts on some I was a bit stunned at how light weight it is… how fragile it seemed. I got my hands on an old jewelry...

Howdy Lumberjocks! Just wanted to share this small bud vase/weed pot I made. Also, here's a video showing part of the process. I hope you enjoy.

Hello all, this is my first posting on the LJ forum and I wanted to display my latest wood/metal bangle. This bangle is made from 316 stainless steel, Manzanita Burl with turquoise inlay. I am starting a new business selling metal bangle parts and stabilized wood bangle blanks and much more...

I recently completed this custom stabilized Buckeye Burl, Wenge, Ebony, Curly Maple & Salvaged Mahogany fly fishing net as a gift for my client to his father, both avid fly fishermen. This landing net hangs from the fisher's back via a Buckeye Burl, Latigo leather, brass, copper and rare earth...
