mahogany table legs
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 Last year I met a fellow who was a friend of a friend. As we were talking I was telling him about some of the woodworking I do. He told me that he had built a dining table 40 years ago and was still using it but he had always hated the legs and would I make him new legs. Had him send me some pictures of what type of legs he wanted and got to building. the legs are made of laminated 4/ quarter african mahogany sanded to 1500 grit and finished with 5 coats of gloss laquer and then paste wax. I delivered and installed the legs. The customer who has since become a good friend was so happy with the legs that he has had me build a live edge dining table for his son and the mother of all cutting boards for him.

Jaguar
Furnished content.

 Last November Motoman posted his picture of this jaguar. I loved it and had to give it a try. He was kind enough to tell me where to purchase the pattern so here is my try at it. I have not framed it yet, kinda thinking I might try staining on it. Got to think about for a while, I have not done it before.It is cut in 1/2” thick Oak, 15” x 12”.
