woodworking

[Timj]

i also love to work with wood, when i was young i made an education as a cabinetmaker. after almost 30 years i decided to use my old horsestable as a workshop and bought some almost antique machinery for very small money and startet my old and almost forgotten profession again. here is one of my last projects, a workbench for a friend of mine, made out of maple and chestnut, wich got roaked with samiac spirit after finishing, to change the color of the chestnut-wood:

That's a beautiful work bench @Ultramarin. You're a fine craftsman.

I was a bit bored so I'm turning a pepper mill. I still need to refine the top a bit and sand it. Then do the final fit and finish. The wood is walnut.

Ultramarin, i've gotta know! what type of gorgeous wood are your table legs above made from? it's so gold that it looks like Osage Orange...

The pepper mill above is ready for finish. So, I started another one. This one is Mulberry.

Yes, a little.

This is one of my favorite projects. A table with only one flat surface. Carved with a chainsaw, angle grinder and sandpaper. Birdeye maple veneer on top and finished with a tung oil/polyurethane blend

My dad has a woodshop and so I have always understood craftsmanship. That is a elegant table my friend.

The choice of maple gives it that clean european look. Those curved legs really help lighten up the piece and even though the table top is so chunky the curved base just lightens the whole thing even more.

Very elegant piece of work

A few other little projects I've been making. First is a organizer for my coffee table for the essentials. Grinder,dry herb vape and a pick. I'm waiting on a quart of Tung oil so I have a few small projects without finish.

These are other small day projects I have waiting for the Tung oil. The three incense burners I made to practice my inlaying technique.

This is one of two incense box/burners I made last week.

it's just plain maple, coloured with powder wood stain...

 

[Timj]

Have you ever worked with Lacewood before?

Yes I have. I'll try to find something I made using it and drop a picture if I find one. Have you worked with it?

I'll bet that looks beautiful.

doh, I forgot to take a picture while out there earlier...the aluminum strips that hold it down are beveled one at a time for the best fitment...it's finished with 10 coats of shellac, the first coat was thinned 75% and each successive coat was used with less alcohol to gain maximum penetration...that's some pricey wood...I didn't need much as tomorrow pics will show...the truck is hand built...

 

[armedoldhippy]

most of my "woodwork" these days is turkey box calls and the arrows i build. love purpleheart ! dang difficult to work with, but boy is it tough/heavy. you don't want to inhale any of the dust though... some of the exotic hardwoods can put you in the hospital!

I enjoy hand carving Black Cherry and other fruit trees. I'm always on the lookout for a nicely bent branch or a funky burl.

Great thread everything posted before this is amazing work. You guys are talented.
