Wild Maple Burl Bowl

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Kudos to Mother Nature again.The objective here was to pick a shape to display as much of the burl as possible. Any of you who tackle burl know how tricky it can be to get a 'clean' surface. The amount of sanding required with this was best measured by a calendar – not a watch. In the end I think it was worth it.It's 8 wide at the top tapering to a 3 wide base by 2 high. Finish is Shella Cream and Shella Wax followed by time with the buffer.Appreciate any and all comments/suggestions.Cheers

Mini Rocker Thanks to LBD!

Furnished content.

I built the lager child size Rocker using a photo that I got off of Etsy. (more on that one here)
.
I wanted to make a plan but had no idea how to use SketchUp. So I asked Little Black Duck (LBD) if he could help me out. He came up to bat and hit a home run for me!
.
The plan that he made of the lager chair you see in the photo came out perfect!
.
I would say I asked the right jock for this task not to say my other buddies wouldn't have helped me out.
.
Soooooooo!
.
The plan is full size but I decided to print them on my home printer and choose “to fit printable area” which is 11 X 8.5 size paper I had.
.
This let me have a downsized plan so I made this Mini rocker for a doll with that print. I'll have to head over to the UPS store to have them print me a full size plan for the lager child size rocker. Thanks to LBD for making me a happy guy! Everyone loves that little mini rocker!
.
Oh… wife came out the the shop with two of her little mini stuffed teddy bears and sat them in the Mini rocker before I was even done making it. LOL! Guess you can tell who's getting this rocker!

Four Wooden Hangers

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I had a lull in projects so I planed down some of the extra mesquite laying around and made some more hangers. I made these out of 3 pieces instead of 4 like last time. they are doweled and glued together. They finished up at 7/16” x 9” x 16 1/2” and they are coated with Boiled Linseed Oil and semi gloss lacquer….....................Cheers, Jim
