  1. Wood & Lumber
    First. Whether this turns out to be locust or not, we really really like it. Floor & Decor (feel free to roast me if I deserve it) claims it's "Rania Locust" which apparently translates to "Eye-Catching Locust." Specs show Janka 1700, which aligns close enough to Black Locust (wood database...

  3. The Dutch Tool Chest

    In the October issue of Popular Woodworking are the plans for the Dutch Tool Chest. When Chris Schwarz first began write about this bad boy via the Lost Art Press blog, I was instantly intrigued. I was considering building the Anarchrist's Tool Chest but the cost and labor kept putting me off to...
  4. Coffee Table

    I used to work for a carpentry company, and we were helping with constructing a mansion. The customer had requested these giant rafter tails made from cedar, and there were so many discarded pieces that were going to be thrown away, I just couldn't let them go to waste. I took as many as I could...
  5. Mantle Clock

    I built this clock for my sister for Christmas. Made from quarter-sawn white oak and cherry. This is the first time I ever made a clock or worked with these two woods. I tried to fume the oak, but it didn't turn out the way I was hoping. I will have to tinker around with that method a little...

  7. Little Tables for Christmas

    Whew… Got these knocked out before Thanksgiving. Twelve tables for our immediate family members. 3 each of oak, mahogany, cherry and walnut. Pegged mortise and tenon construction. These come apart easily for transport if needed. Great little design. About 3 hours each to make. Each...

  10. Cutting Board

    I made this cutting board from Appleply. (Appleply's a hardwood plywood similar to Baltic Birch) I cut it in 1 inch strips, laid it side to side and laminated it all together again. The top of the "cutting" board is this pattern of very thin, but consistant strips of hardwood. I finished it with...
  11. Geeked Out Man Cave Sign For Roger

    I made this "Man Cave" sign for a friend named Roger. Roger does lots of "fix-it" sorts of things for lots of folks in his basement Man Cave workshop. I've made a couple things to make his work more efficient that I've posted here on lumberjocks, a work bench and a thirty drawer storage...
  12. it's for you dummy.....

    While looking for something to pass the time today, I stumbled upon a dummy crank phone box that I had picked up at an auction. I grabbed some oak from the rack and immediately started making sawdust. I used a box joint on the sides, a lil' roman ogee on the front, and turned the crank handle...
  13. The Mystery Box

    This is a finished project so I guess it qualifies. It's a small hinged box that is 4×3x2. I finished it with Shellac using the French Polishing technique. My problem is that I have no idea what kind of wood it is. I've never seen this type of wood before and I've never seen it since. I was...

  15. Wood & Lumber
    Hey guys can you help me identify this log? I think I got it from the local arborist (santa cruz, ca) just recently split it open and found a nice two tone coloring. I don't recognize the bark and don't think it's native. Any thoughts on what it is? thanks -chris
  16. Finishing
    I know this is a long shot but it's worth a shot. I'm trying my hand at refinishing a piano cabinet that is over 100 years old. The finish is cracked and gross but sands off pretty easily. I pulled the back of the cabinet off to experiment since it won't be seen. I got the finish all off and...
  17. Woodworking Skill Share
    I got this wood from my wife's step-mom, she was having her neighbor store it in his garage otherwise I would have known about it sooner. It came some years ago from another neighbor she was friends with, a woodworker who passed away. She doesn't know what kind it is, and my only guess is some...
  18. Wood & Lumber
    Been lurking and learning on this site for a couple years, but this is my first post and it's for help of course. Local company that certified large electric motors has some heavy duty pallets that i got my hands on. The wood is 2+ inches thick, heavy and hard. The bigger pallets, 2 1/2 by 7...

  20. Wood & Lumber
    This tree fell down outside my apartment building in Los Angeles. I asked the landlord if he was going to re-plant it since it had fallen due to the soil eroding out from underneath it. When he said "No" I cut it up and took the wood. It seems to be some sort of fruit tree, but I'd like to...
