My metal Big Green Egg (BGE) table that I bought with the egg rusted out
Decided to build a custom table using salvaged barn wood. After planing, I asked for help identifying the wood. The concensus from several lumberjacks was old white oak.
The wood was plenty hard, consuming 2 sets of hss planer blades and a carbide roster bit.I reused the stainless top from my old table but wanting additional table space I added a 13 butcher block of wood scraps I had. ( 13 because that's the extent of my planer). 3/4 oak ply for the bge support. 2×4 and 2×6 frameFinished with golden oak stain and 3 coats of spar polyurethane. The table will be covered when not in use.Thanks for looking

3D endgrain cutting boards

Occasionally I make these 3D endgrain cutting boards as gifts for friends and family. Recently my daughter in law asked me if I would make some for all the members of her cheese making club down in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I said sure and then found out the club had 10 members so having already committed myself I went to work. Lot of sawing, gluing, planing, and sanding later I completed the project. Wood is maple, Purple Heart, and African Sapele and the finish is Howard Butcher Block Conditioner. To make it even more interesting I shipped them down by FedEx and the package got lost for 2 days. Everything finally worked out and the club was very pleased.
A special acknowledgement to MTM Wooodworking in Russia who does some great YouTube videos explaining how to make these boards.

My boy

In an attempt to get my son interested in wood work he was asked to design something that I would make. He chose an Ottoman and this what he came up with.The internal storage was his idea. I think the intention is it is for storage of gaming discs (XBox). He has a few.Now that it finished his mum has grabbed it for her TV lounging, so he might be lucky to get it back.Maybe I should get him to design number two in the series.The timber is recycled pine with finger joints on the corners.Recycled timber draw knobs for the feet. Amazing how much is thrown away with kerb side pickup.
