The Woodshop Shed

Trash can cabinet

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Made from ambrosia maple. Door sits flush, just not pushed in all the way for picture. Minwax oil base stain and 2 coats of oil base poly to finish. I have found ambrosia to be tricky. I had some that I got a while back from one supplier and some more that I picked up recently. Made the drawer face out of the old stuff, used the exact same stain on it and it looked completely different, unusable together. Had to remake the face panel. Turned out great, dog hates it! She can no longer drag trash all over the house.

Amrosia Maple Ornaments

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Several weeks ago I found some Ambrosia Maple in a cleared section of woods near my house. A neighbor kindly helped me cut a bunch of it up and haul it out of the gully.Hopefully I'll make some bigger things out of it, but meanwhile here are a couple of ornaments made from smaller branches and some scrap walnut I had lying around.About 5 inches by 2”. Completely hollowed inside. One is finsihed with wipe-on poly, the other some 2X Painters touch acrylic. I prefer the poly – the painters touch raised the grain something awful!

Aspen boot

Had some aspen fire wood sitting in my wood cache. Carves easy but is more troublesome to finish.
Enjoy.
