Posted about my boat a few months ago. After working on and off its finally complete. The boat is birch with ponderosa pine oars. The oars are pretty down and dirty, wasnt sure how I wanted them so I plan to make a new set. I did three coats of epoxy and three coats of spar varnish for UV. All in all it turned out great, wish I had spent more time on the epoxy as a closer inspection of finish isn't what it could have been. Not a big deal as its a work/play boat.

Lovely. Got any more pictures please? Is it stable on the water? Rows well?
 
Just finished a set of speaker carcasses with stands.. Used some bigleaf maple that I milled last year.. FPhoto0528.jpg speak.jpg or this project I no bandsaw so I had to mill most things on the table saw and then reglue.. I ripped a 3" slab down the middle then cut 6" from each side, back thru the saw at 7/8", flipped all the pieces so it was heartwood on the outside before gluing. I really liked the natural look but the client wanted dark...
 
Some excellent work here fellas.

I've planned to do a rocking chair, all curved pieces cut as blanks. Pretty uncommon way of doing it i believe.

I've found I'm happier with rough projects than projects that never leave my brain. I'm currently on a VERY busy schedule however.
 
I've been in my shop quite a bit over the summer. Thought I'd share a few things I put together from wood I milled;

First is a cabinet made in the form and style of the famous cabinet maker Krenov. All dovetails were handcut and I used Norway Maple with Black Walnut. Drawer pull was carved from a piece of pear.

Next are two chairs, one made out of Black Walnut and one out of Black Cherry. Design is from Scott Morrison, these chairs have a really unique look and are perfect for putting in a corner since there are only 3 legs.

Wow. Lovely stuff. Just like we can tell a fair bit about a faller from the stumps they leave, your works speaks volumes. Thanks for sharing.
 
Latest projects, these were a challenge. Used Walnut, Cherry and Norway Maple. Got some great grain and figure as the tops of the stands were resawn from thicker boards, one reason I like to mill thicker boards.

Beautiful!
 
Dam Table
Backstory on this.... I have a client who makes apothecary items and recently she asked if I knew where any cottonwoods were for the buds..me being the nice guy that I'm said sure. Long story short, wacked three cottonwoods down next to a beaver dam, figuring that the buds will go to my client and the beavers would have the rest (as they were constructing a dam very close by)....Move ahead 3-4 weeks and i went back to see what the little guys had been up to..turn out the had pulled most of the trees away with the exceptions of a few bigger pieces.
Since i'm a creative type guy I grabbed the larger ''logs'' (6-12") and brought them home with the intention of doing something with them.... Move ahead to last weekend, wife bring up the conversation of our crappy deck table and since I build high end tables for clients ''why do we not have a ''nicer'' table''.. SO you can see where this went to ..
The top is fir left over from another project and the remainder is cottonwood (dark leg is actually wild cherry)[IMG_6189.JPG IMG_6192.JPG IMG_6194.JPG .. I think the only thing I milled with my chainsaw is the logs and after that I ran everything thru my large bandsaw...
I'm happy , the wife is happy and i'm confident the beavers are content.
(yes..that is growth you see on the pics)View attachment 736522 View attachment 736522
