Any woodworkers?

Could be locust...if its real hard to cut, and stinks..

 

Maybe White Ash
The grain of Oak, with the density of Maple, tough to work with, but beautiful

 

Well, I didnt think it would be this much of a mystery. Interesting.

 

Could be anything, without seeing it its all just guesses. ???

 

Yep...still fun to guess

 

Looks a lot like the slabs of white oak I have from milling 25 years ago. Requires chainsaw to cut now. Hard and dry!

 

I have some white oak that looks like that.

 

Well it’s 100% white oak. I can tell that by smell alone as it smells exactly like my primary calorie source Makers Mark!

 

Wall hanging walnut frame for two 5x7 photos. Request from my wife.




Knocked out a new sacrificial fence for the cross cut / miter sled for my table saw while waiting for glue to dry.

 

Final pour complete. Sealing the bottom tomorrow

Aside from a couple small blemishes, the top is damn near smooth as glass

 

Nice!

 

Had some leftover 2x6s from the shed/detached garage build and my wife wanted a new entertainment center... I had just enough screws and we had leftover paint from redoing the bathroom and leftover stain from... When I upsized our bed from queen to king maybe??? And poly from days gone by when lumber was cheap and I could make farm houses furniture on the side and it was profitable. At any rate, I didn't have to buy anything, so I'm happy

 

Dropping it off tomorrow.

 

Frame is dry and hung up.





Made a few push sticks out of some scrap 3/4 plywood since my current ones are almost dead. Super quick and easy on the bandsaw.

 

I don't know if I mentioned it or not but I'm out of commission for awhile. Threw my back out. So the workbench project is on hold for awhile and that really bums me out. Sitting I'm OK, standing and walking is not good.

 

Godspeed with the recovery!! Sorry to hear you’re not doing well, back pain is the literal worst

 

Sorry to hear you are not currently able to work in your shop. Hope you recover quickly, finish that workbench, then put it to use.

I am working on little things while contemplating / planning my next big project. I am thinking console table, mid century modern style to replace my old, oversized, and outdated media stand.

 

Need to see Chiropractor. I tweek my back and thats the only thing that helps. I'm constantly in pain but when its tweeked it goes from level 3 to level 10 pain.

 

Sorry to hear this @woodtickgreg. Hoping for a speedy recovery.
