  1. Wolf Eyes

    This was my first woodburning project, and it was done as part of a workshop put on by Lee Valley Tools in 2006. There is a small amount of carving done to give the eyeballs some shape. The colouring of the eyes is done with the pencils as shown in photo 4, and the rest was done with a wood...

    Here are some works of pyrography that my lady has done. I worked up the frames for them, and varnished them. The burnings are on basswood and the frames are of walnut. These are Christmas gifts for her Dad and brothers, but I am OK posting them now as we gave them yesterday. I guess...
  4. Juniper Log Candle Holder with Wood Burned Scroll Work

    I have been playing around with wood burning and actually have only one tip. So this was a test on patience, it didn't come out as sharp as I would have hoped, but I am sure I can do better when I order new tips for my wood burner. I did enjoy working on this piece, but was also glad when it was...

    I was going back through my pictures and realized I hadn't posted this wine bottle balancer that I made to give to my grandfather for his 80th birthday. The main piece is of cherry, with maple and walnut pocket hole plugs inlaid into the front of the bottle balancer. I also burned the message...

    I made this steam engine for my 4 yer old son; he loves trains. I am hoping that this piece will help him retain his enjoyment and passion that he has for trains through out his life.

    My first veneer attempt. Christmas Approaching, Sister wanted an iPod. So I got her one… out of wood. She was ecstatic for a split second. Then gave her the real iPod. She showed her friends, and they kept pressing buttons asking, "Have you charged it yet?" I only had a few days before...
  9. Cross Sign

    I made this project in my dorm room in college. I had a crappy grade in my New Testament Survey class and needed some extra credit. My cousin and I (I'm on the left) decided to make the sign that was above the cross during Jesus' crucifixion. The order is Hebrew, Latin and Greek. The...
  10. Dice Towers

    My Son In Law is a game geek and asked me to make him a dice tower. Since my son is a gamer also I decided to make two then decorate them with Star Wars symbols. One has a Banta skull and the other has a Sith snake. The towers were all made with scrap I had out in my garage. The towers are...

    Do any of my fellow LJ's make their own wood pellets or pressed wood "bricks" for their wood burning stoves. I'm needing info on how it's done. I really would love to able to heat my shop with all the dust and shavings I've been tossing out.
  15. Joinery
    I am trying to make some curved Ebony stringing 5mm square. To bend it without it breaking I am laminating 2.5mm slices, bending them to shape and gluing them together. The problem is the glue (Titebond 2) will not hold the strips together, I can separate the strips with my fingernail even after...
