  1. Curly Maple Picture Frames

    Howdy, These poor paintings were just hanging on the wall and suffering from my poor attempt at carpentry a couple of years ago. I had to do something about it. The frames are curly maple dyed with antique maple tint. I used water to mix the dye. Even though I raised the grain and sanded...

    Soft Maple Cabinet Finish Blotching? I posted this information on my blog and wanted to share it with LJ. I built this Soft Maple cabinet for a class that I am going to teach this fall. The design is simple so the students can focus on building the cabinet and not be distracted by a...
  9. Designing Woodworking Projects
    Hi, This is my first post here. I've been everywhere in my town looking for someone that sells wood dye but I guess nobody in Flagstaff does. I was wondering if anybody had recommendations for any sites or brands since I will be buying the dye for my first time and sight unseen. Thanks.
