A few Spalted Red Maple Bowls from a tree I harvested out of my parent's backyard. They aren't cored nesting bows, but cut in line on the tree giving the nesting ability. Rough dimesons are 6 and 5 . Finish is satin water based polyurethane.

Nesting Chair

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Just as I was starting to plan on building some outdoor chairs Jay Bates released his plans for this nesting chair, which was a perfect fit for my needs. After purchasing the chair template, I followed Jays plans for the most part with the main difference being the use of trim head screws, instead of flat head like Jay used. The wood is from old treated pine 1X6 that I had previously used in a privacy fence. The set slates had to be milled to 5/8 thickness to be flat, but the chair legs are thick. The chair is finished with boiled linseed oil.Over all the chair is comfy and light weight, storing away neatly. I would highly recommend his template and plans. Here is a link to his web site if you're interested: Jay Bates Nesting ChairThanks for stopping by,Matthew Stillwell

Magazine Storage Box

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I wanted to create this Magazine Storage Box to house my Grandfathers old woodworking magazine collection. The box is made of Utile hardwood and Mahogany plywood. The plywood edge received a coat of dark stain and the was then finished with satin water based polyurethane. Rubber feet were added to the bottom to prevent scratching. Now I just need a few more for the rest of the collection lol.Thanks for stopping by,Matthew Stillwell
