What are you building with your milled wood? merged

Sorry Dave I have been away for a while. It is Slippery elm, the tree was on the property line and growing over the neighbors house so we took it down. Now I have to get a picture of the mill frame I built that I used to mill the log.

Nice,
did you build the bench it is on?

 

[Stu in Tokyo]

Thank you!

Yes I did, a short Roubo style bench.

Red pine railings for a log cabin

Should be installing the railings this weekend red pine is very aromatic and seems to have a bit more sap than white.

The railings are mortised to receive the balusters, after tenoning the balusters they were bandsawed and textured, I used an arbortech pro cutter with a makita grinder mounted in an old stihl 170 handle assembly the throttle trigger operates a switch to turn it on.

Brian, that is a whole lot of work

Will this be an outside or inside railing?

I got my little bench done.....

The wife loves it and has claimed it for herself, so I have to get busy and make another one for my buddy.

The wedged through tenons are kind of neat :msp_biggrin:

 

[Brian Harnett]

Nice job Stu, a lot of my stuff gets a wedged tenon, looks good and tightens up the joint nice.

Installed the railings this weekend still need to do the stairs and sand - stain.

I finished up a Coffee table last week from some slabs of Maple that I got my hands on earlier this month. Usually I try to use only wood that I mill myself but for 8$ I could not resist (my local bandmill guys yearly clean up and sale).
The miter was a challenge but it came out spot on.Some feedback that I have gotten is that it might be a tad dangerous for small children/dogs.... but since I'm not fond of kids and my dogs are at least twice the height it's a moot point(yes that was a pun intended)
Hope you like

The miter effect came out very nicely. Thanks for posting.

Here is a Cherry coffee table from a couple years ago I forgot to post.

Here are a few photos of current build. This table is being built for the Urban Wood Encounter show here in July. This will be an origami inspired coffee table, base will be ebonized Ash. To stabilize the crotch I used a 32" X 3/4" steel rod. The rod passes through the main butterfly. More photos later as I make more progress.

You may be the Chuck Norris of woodworking. How did you drill the hole without breaking through the slab and how are you adhering the rod to the hole you drilled? Great work!

Thanks! I started the hole with a standard 6" x 3/4" brad point bit. Then I switched over to the 16" bit. I used the aluminium straight edge as a site line for level and drilling course. Same site line was used when I attached extension. It's actually a fairly easy task. No glue was used to allow for the wood to move. The entry point of the rod will be hidden by a cut off of the slab, it will mimic a fold. The photo will give you an idea of how it will look when done.

Wow! This thread just keeps getting better! That Chippendale piece is spectacular, and the pipes are amazing. Great wood in the hands of true craftsmen.
