Scrap Wood Gifts - Coasters
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Every so often, after enough other projects have either been completed or abandoned, the wood pile in my shop tends to have lots of oddly shaped, small pieces of wood that just aren't big enough to do much with. I imagine most of you are like me when it comes to this trait, but especially on hardwoods, I have a difficult time throwing scraps away, even if I know its such a small amount its unlikely it will get used. Its just such nice wood, and rather expensive.; and In the back of my mind, I always tell myself ill come up with something for it. Usually this is a lie I tell myself and I have a pile full of mismatched odds and ends pieces. To rectify this issue, about once a year I'll make a batch of these end grain coasters. They seem to be popular gifts, and in truth, its kind of a fun little project.

Scroll Saw Art Cowboy Boots
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
With my old 1968 Delta Scroll Saw fully restored and up and running, I made my first project on it this Cowboy Boots art. The pattern is by Steve Good of the Scrollsaw Workshop www.scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com and are fee for download. The cutout is Red Oak plywood witch a golden oak wood stain on it, and I made the frame from Cherry hardwood. It was all finished with a couple coats of gloss spray polyurethane. This was certainly a fun and relatively quick project and I am looking forward to more scroll saw projects now.Thank you for stopping by,Matthew Stillwell

Walnut River Desk for My Son
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Well, my son is 13 and will be doing online school this semester at least, so he needed a proper desk. I just so happened to have finished my drying shed to kiln dry lumber from my mill. We picked a nice walnut slab and cut it in half and then chose a layout for the river. He liked this way so he could have the little pond at the end too. Doing the epoxy was a challenge and made a mess, but turned out really well. I had to put together a router planer to surface the top. The legs are more live edge slabs that were from a short log that I had. The legs are just put together with screws and glue. The back panel is a live edge slab about 12 wide. Finish is satin oil based poly. I considered things like Odies oil and other oils, but ultimately decided it need a much more impervious finish to protect from the terrible things he will do to the desk over the years. He helped with it a lot and we enjoyed the build. It is 58 long and 24 deep. Thanks for looking.
