I needed a shelf in the entryway of the house I just rented. It's such a big entryway that i needed to put something in there. So next I'll be posting the dresser that I'm about to repurpose into a bench. Thanks for checking it out and if you have any feedback I'm always open.

One CRAZY BOWL and two on FIRE

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I had actually set out to make a different design, however I was not sure how to accomplish it, this is totally different from what was in my foggy head. One problem the size of the piece of wood was not the right size I think. needed to be a smaller log. NEXT TIME, you just wait. I WILL DO IT. I started out the usual way, lathe the bottom with a foot.The foot of coarse was lathed off at the end, Holes where added, as I thought it looked abit crazy and I thought it may improve the look, but once one starts one can not go back. Do you think it looks OK with them.The wood used is Popular, actually Aspen, soft junk wood here, grow every where, not even good for fire wood, I though I would try it though and fell a few trees. I then though, I wander how it lathes. Actually I was surprised and kinda like the wood and how it looks. Fun to learn on, lathes fast green, turn on high speed and the water flys out, 3, 20 minute sessions on medium heat and one is ready to finish the turning process. Just like that. Simple and fast. This was the first bowl I turned.The next on in the end had a disaster, slipped out of may hand and went crash, crack on the floor. one side looks okAnother thing I discover about this ;pours wood, light shines through it and opens up new possibilities, decorative lamps etc.Thanks again for looking, comments are appreciated.

Oak fractal burned table

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Here's my latest project. a fractal burned tabletop, filled in with silver epoxy. the table is 32” round, red oak i sourced from a local sawyer. it had a couple natural voids, i filled those with the silver as well. the top is 1 1/4” thick and I used my diy built fractal burning machine to create the effect on the top. I used stonecoat countertops epoxy to fill and also for a floodcoat. I then knocked down the shine with 320 grit, then finished it with watco satin wipe on poly. then buffed out with a finishing wax. i am extremely happy with the final outcome, and intend to sell the table, providing my wife doesn't claim it for herself! thanks for looking!
