  1. Finishing
    I’m looking for recommendations on an outdoor finish for some Adirondack chairs I’m planning on building. I want to use an oil, no film finish. White oak barrel staves. Preferably something with UV protection so they won’t turn gray. I’m ok with recoating yearly. Thanks in advance.
  2. General Woodworking Discussions
    Hi All, I am a wood sculptor/carver doing my first commission outdoors. I am at the beginning of the project and wanted to source from those with experience knowledge on how white oak seasons over time, and what, if anything I should coat it with. (oil or a "boat soup" is currently my thought...
  3. Woodworking Skill Share
    Hey everyone, I purchased some peel and stick white oak veneer from rockler recently and started applying Rubio monocoat on it. After I put the finish on, I could see a grid of dots over the whole veneer where the finish didn't take the same. I've never used peel and stick veneer before so...

  5. Projects Bathroom Vanity

    During bathroom remodel, decided to build the vanity myself to save some money. We wanted a "floating" cabinet design with a contemporary natural wood (light) look. Had some very nice rift saw white oak on hand so used that across the front, maintaining the grain. Used mechanical undercount...

  7. Projects Chairmaker's Tenon Vise

    Posting here for posterity is a Chairmaker's tenon vise I made to add to my arsenal of shop fixtures. The project plans were influenced by this Popular Woodworking article. The original design utilizes dovetails. I chose to use a Festool Domino 700 to pin the vise jaws against the forces...
  8. General Woodworking Discussions
    I'm seeking to purchase this table and hoping to identify the wood species before I do - we prefer white vs red oak and I'd like to avoid having to whitewash the red oak. Any tips or tricks to do so without damaging the piece - you break it you buy it... This is the only photo the seller has...

  10. 2012 Mallet Swap Entry for Bertha

    I was very excited to find out about the mallet swap for this Christmas. 22 guys making mallets and then swapping them Chinese Christmas-style was just too good of an idea. Part of me was intimidated, not so much because I didn't have confidence to produce something worthy of a fellow...
  11. Reclaimed Shutter Shelf

    This was another late Christmas gift. The plastic (but sturdy) shutters were given to me, and all I was told to do was make a shelf… I just ran with the idea. With a good sanding and washing, some crackle paint in my high-tech spray booth, and three new distressed white oak shelves, the...
  12. Mid Century Inspired Nightstands

    After building the contemporary bed, the next step was to complete the nightstands! Continue reading if you are interested in the process I used. The nightstands started off with a trip to a local sawmill I found on Craigslist to pick up some walnut for the main assembly and some white oak for...
  13. Joker Board 2

    Here's the second game board I made. This one was a gift to the couple who taught us the game. It's White Oak and Maple with Walnut dots to separate the sides and has a matching box to hold playing cards and marbles. The inner ring is for four players while the outer ring is for six players so...
  14. Arts and Crafts Table

    I designed this table using several elements from both Arts and Crafts and Mission styles. I made this for my son Michael's 10th Anniversary and wanted something to mark it as a milestone. It is about 48" w x 22"d and 30"h and is used as a computer desk. It is Quarter Sawn White Oak, stained...
  15. Stickley style double bookcase No. 719

    I've been working on this thing for close to forever, but it's finally done. First time I've built doors. The carcass of the bookcase is 1-1/8-inch quartersawn wood; the back is made up of individually splined 3/4-inch boards. Dimensions: 60 inches wide, 55 inches tall, 13 inches deep. The...
  16. Mallet for my Father

    I built this mallet for my Dad for Christmas. The wood is walnut with interior strips of white oak. The finish is shellac, I usually buff it out but I liked this one shiny hehe. There are two voids in the head filled with tightly packed copper I pulled off of old 22 shells, (Of course I set off...
  17. End Cabinet

    This is my first project, a white oak end cabinet for my kitchen. The goal is for the cabinet to support one end of a 3'x5' rock maple butcher block (which I haven't built yet) - at the moment its just got my portable benchtop sitting on it, though, which is visible in the pictures. The design...
  18. White Oak Adirondack Chairs

    5 years ago, my family and I made a career move across the country. The wood tools were all broken down and packed into a truck and eventually set back up in the basement of our new home (very old house, new to us). However, the difficulties of dust control, moisture, getting lumber down the...
  19. Hallway table

    This is a small project I did specifically to use up some scrap wood and to use this drop of white oak from a countertop we made at my job a while back. It got cut off because it had the pith running through the middle of it, which is exactly why I wanted it. The face of the board perfectly...
