Quick Panel-finishing Setup When making frame-and-panel doors, my panels are finished before installing them into their frames. The fact that the edges will be tucked into the frames allows for a quick, easy setup that permits finishing both faces right …Source

Knife box

Furnished content.

Knife boxMy daughter is showing real interested in cooking so I got her some decent knives. To subtly remind her take them seriously, I made a box with her name. Since they are Japanese steel, I found the Japanese version of her name; nintai – Patience.The box is mahogany with a polycarbonate cover (more scratch resistant than acrylic). The knives I bought and cut a simple foam insert to hold them separate. It took three times to get the slots right. I still need to find my technique for my combo plows…

Furnished content.
(from Popularwoodworking.com)

Picky cypress TV stand.

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Picky cypress TV stand.This little TV stand was built from repurposed cypress. The legs are 4X4 wall studs from a barn that my great grandfather built in the early 1920's. The top and shelf are from the same barn but must have been added as repairs later on, it's a little younger! The trim is from recently milled and cured cypress. The funny shape is because one end of the board I wanted to use had this screwy angle to it. I just matched the other side. There is no stain on this build! Only 3 coats of clear polyurethane. The older the wood was, the darker it became and it and just sucked up the clear coat! The difference in colors really popped! I was pleasantly surprised!
This stand is 50 wide at the top, 17 deep and 26 tall.

Flicker marquetry

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Flicker marquetryThis is one of my favorites. I think it took about 3 weeks. Size is about 17” x 19”. Ordinarily I would never think of staining walnut, but the color of the walnut I had just didn't work for the frame. I really like how it looked after I stained it with some walnut stain. The background is ash and after bookmark matching two pieces I thought it kind of looked like wings. The hickory I used for the tree had a knot in just the right place. It got kind of torn up while making the veneer so I had to do a little repair work on it.George
