Wood Tongs
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I had the pleasure of sending my swap submission to Dave P from Santa Fe NM. I had been wanting to make myself some new tongs so it was a great choice. There's not a lot to them really, 2 sides and a wedge. The wedge angle took some trial and error though! Once I rough cut the blanks for the sides I put them together with carpet tape and cut them to shape then refined them with a combination of belt, spindle and edge sanders plus some hand finessing. The longer ones are about 16” long and the small ones are perfect for appetizers/garnishes. They're figured maple and black walnut.

Chair for GK3
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
The third grand kid gets the third child's rocker. There a few 'firsts' here. It's my first project made out of white ash. My first project working with raw leather. And the first with the type of joinery I used to connect the legs to the rockers. The joinery is certainly not perfect, but I'm not either, so that's okay. It's pretty solid and I think it will last a long time. Ash is still plentiful, but I don't know for how much longer as the Emerald Ash Borer continues to spread across the country. The finish is Arm-R-Seal—no stain. I was recently gifted a 6''x 72'' edge belt sander that I definitely took advantage of here. I like the way it turned out and hopefully my grandson will enjoy it also.

Small Greene & Greene style box
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Here's a small G&G box with proud finger joints I made for a night light stand. It's intended to match the style of the dresser. The finger joints on the front act as a pull for a small drawer. Wonder what my wife will put in there, maybe more jewelry? :)
