Any woodworkers?

for that price cut once measure 10x's LOL

 

Pretty much! Fortunately I'm using it more or less as is

 

Did that with a piece of ancient kauri. It's our "art" above the mantle.
Highly figured wood like this is always expensive. The rest of the bed is being built from a bundle of butternut I got for around $2/bf, so that part is kind of a steal!

 

Hey folks, just came across this thread! Woodworker of 15 years here. Just gonna lurk and watch the flow of the thread before really participating. Here’s a few of my favorite projects though.

 

Ok you sombitch... you win!

Great work!

 

Always like the mix of maple and cherry! Did my coffee table and daughter's crib out of that combo.
Nice work!

 

Thank you! I don't get down to my shop as often as I like unfortunately.

 

Thanks! I agree, maple and cherry are made for each other.

 

So is maple and walnut!

 

Agreed! I recently started working more with walnut. Love the richness.

 

Walnut is great! Especially when it's not steamed. I personally will not touch steamed walnut. I want the lighter sapwood (if it's present) and all the rich reds, greens, and purples that are in that un-steamed heartwood! My final project in undergrad was a computer desk, entirely made of walnut (and iron and bronze).

 

cool stuff, I like the boxes...You do good work...

 

That is insane!

 

Thank you! I try to make my own designs for boxes like that, influenced by Asian designs and mission/arts and crafts.

 

I have it on good authority that there is a lot of free wood just laying all over the place in the coastal Carolina's right now...

 

Here you go!

 

So you live in a museum display?

We just have shit we find on the side of the road on our shelves.

Btw- that’s my way of saying I like the display and the whole set up. My wife says I make smart comments that people misinterpret too much.
