End table
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 I built 2 end tables because the ones I had were 30 years old and presswood construction. Wanted something to store, sort and have access to, other then stuffed in a box with doors. Made a slide out under the top to hold coffee, snacks and such while sitting. This saves the top for incidental clutter, that always winds up there. Makes cleanup (accidental spills, coffee rings) easier. Also slides out to be a writing table on lap. Made with select pine, finished with shellac shacks ruby, garnet and patina shellac. Then coated with polyurethane to protect the finish better.

FWW Dovetailed tea box
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 This was a project in FWW #269.
Michael Pekovich did his box with wenge and birds eye maple where as mine is made from quarter swarm white oak and vertical grain clear Douglas fir.
I had a board of q- dawn oak that had sat in a puddle some where and had darken considerably. I save it from the firewood bin at my local flooring store.
I wanted a darker colour so that it would match the FWW one, so I lightly fumed with household ammonia. Colour didn't darken as much as I liked but it was enough.
For the liner, I didn't have birds eye and again found some old growth, vertical grain Douglas fir in the firewood bin that I sized and selected the best grain for the inside.
I finished with oli-natura hard wax project oil, a vegetable wax oil finish.A fun little project, although not having the power tools to get this done soon drew out the process by a month or two!
Enjoy

 Posting a few pens I have recently casted and turned. I used Palm Royal resin and cured in a pressure pot. Fun addition to the standard pen turning.
