Just jump in, Paul. I had never worked with pecan, but it was fun. The scent the wood gave off as it was being machined (like the routing done on the top) was very pleasant.

I saw this design in a recent WOOD magazine, and loved the concept - an open sided and open back three drawer end table. I purchased pecan wood at my local dealership as it was even cheaper than...
I've been on Sawmill for a few years, and now want to get into turning. There are a few projects I'm dying to try, and want/need to be able to continue woodworking when I sell the house and get into...
I would love to build that. Someday, I will.
This is now the third of these babies that I've built. I'm getting it down - took two end pieces of lumber - 5x7 wenge and birdseye maple, 4/4, and resawed them to the needed 1/4" thicknesses. Picked...
Thanks, John. I'll be starting them, and a schoolhouse clock this weekend. The chairs are something I've never built before, and I'm looking forward to doing that.
Got this from the web, tho I think it originally was a Family HandyMan mag article. It's a dining room table built with materials you can buy from your local box store, tho I couldn't find many of...
Now that, is a very cool, very American story.:)
In repayment for the lovely woman who made my daughter's Easter dress, I made this spool/bobbin holder (I come from the kind of family that knows sewing terms as well as woodworking). I came up with...
I'll have to look it up. I know it's the one with the very stylish chess board.
Just finished my second of these babies. A two-deck playing card case. The original WoodSmith design used 1/4" plywood with veneer. I used the leftover thin sheet of leopardwood from a previous...
Looks beautiful Lee! I've planned to make a few of the same woods for Christmas presents this year. This would be the 'good' Christmas presents - the hoi polloi will get cutting boards!
Glad to...
That's a good idea. I don't like that the end mark of the Forstner bit shows at the bottom of the hole (and is slightly off-center too), so that idea would have double value.
A spool/bobbin holder? I have a very good friend making a new Easter dress for my little girl, and in return I'm building her a holder for spools of thread and sewing machine bobbins. She said she's...
The leopardwood was a bit of a fluke - I...
The leopardwood was a bit of a fluke - I rememberd that the plans called for maple, but I thought it meant curly or some other figured, which was $15/bf at my local dealer (Austin Hardwoods, Santa...
My latest creation. I have a tradition of making a birthday present for my sister every year on my birthday. This is because Noelle was born Christmas day and has always come up short on birthday...
I'm waitin' on the headboard. I may abandon that and eventually build the WoodSmith bed that matches my 9 drawer dresser (style and colors). I built this platform bed to have something decent to...
I had to use my table saw, kinda backwards. I got the 27 degree cut made without too much burning, and used scraper and careful sanding to make it glass smooth. I honestly didn't remember the top...
Second bedside table
Okay, I finally finished the second cherry bedside table. I made the other one last summer, and have been doing other projects since then. These are quite easy to put together and very fun as they go...
That looks gorgeous, Arthur! Thanks for the advice.
I read that you cannot use BLO on cocobolo, as it won't dry properly. I am building a project of cobobolo & leopardwood, and I'd like to pop the leopardwood grain with BLO. Does cocobolo interfere...
Yes, my 6 year old daughter collects the box tops for school, which means I have to buy a lot of brand names to get them. But I love taking part in helping out her school.
Table Lamp finished
Finally completed this A&C style table lamp. The cherry looks beautiful in BLO and Johnson's Wax. Overall, probably the most challenging thing I've yet built. But there will be others. It's pictured...
I first posted this back in late November. It's an A&C table lamp that was meant for my daughter, but I'm not entirely sure it will end up on her school desk (which I built for her for Christmas), as...
Was asked by the head of our church preschool committee if I could build a bench for the preschool, to be used in the office for the children - possibly to lay on if a little one isn't feeling well....
