Race Car for Ledger
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 Ledger is my 4 month old neighbor. He got clothes and “dumb stuff” for his birthday…..I wanted him to have something cool, something that would last beyond two months beyond the receiving of his gift. Ledgers Dad and Grandpa are huge Bears fans. His room is done in the bears theme. This can sit on his shelf until he is two or so and then he can play with it. Oh did I mention Ledger is huge for his age? He is the hope of the neighborhood to play ball for the Bears.This car is modeled after a a car I saw on ebay. It started life as an Ash 2×4. I glued it together, shaped it with a bandsaw, 1” sanding belt, a rasp, and a ton of sandpaper. “Shaping” is actually an ancient term that means “fool that sands until his fingers bleed”. I filled several area with filler , then a grain filler. I learned that I really should have used that tape that body shop folks use to sculpt curves and flames, and to get better stickers. I see that they will need a dab of CA to sit down on the rounded areas. The tires I bought off of ebay, they are skateboard wheels, that I made axles from long bolts on my metal lathe. It was fun, a first attempt at a “cartoonish” racer, more to come.Thanks for looking….

Live edge dining table
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 It never fails build one and it turned into three. This is the second and I have one more to go. I sanded it to 180 and used Rubio Monocoat to finish it. One coat is all that is required. The finish goes a long way. 160 ml did the table and bench that amounted to about 1/2 a can. Now one more to go this one will have two benches.

Jewellery Box in Bubinga
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 Just finished another Jewellery box, this one is a surprised birthday present for a good friend.
Its veneered in Bubinga with Sycamore edging and the top has a panel of Birdseye Maple and her initials inlayed in Bubinga. Made a tray for it from Sycamore and used some Purple Heart for the mitre splines , and its all lined in Pigs Suede. Used Neat Elite hinges from Ian Hawthorn, super quality and easy to fit accurately.
Pretty happy with the outcome, the Bubinga veneer was a bit of a challenge to use as it needed flattening first and was also prone to cracking very easy. Lots of tiny hairline cracks in it but I didn't mind them, kind of added a bit of character to the box. There were a couple of larger ones that I filled, virtually impossible to see them though now its finished as the wood is so patterned..
