Walnut and Maple Hall Table

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Needed a long and slender table to go in a hallway below a picture wall. Wanted to try a floating top: shaped the underside with a handheld router using a homemade jig that slid back and forth along the length; turned and shaped the four walnut pins holding it up. The bottom stretcher had a natural warp to it, which turned out great as I was able to use that natural bend to create a template to form and cut the stretcher's other curves. I wanted a minimalist design that avoided straight lines as much as possible, while making the curves as subtle as possible. Finish is super blonde shellac and some finishing wax. Cheers everybody! -dave

Live Edge Pecan Coffee Table

(from Lumberjocks.com)


Live edge Pecan Slab was laying around the shop for months, it was bowed in the center a little too much too flatten it would have been too thin in the center of the slab if I leveled it the full length of the board. So in order to salvage the slab I cut it in half, flattened each half to make it straight again. I followed up with a Black Resin river thru the center and added a steel base to raise the table 18” off the floor. I wet sanded the Resin to 800 grit and polish it to a nice sheen. I finish the top with a Semi Gloss Lacquer. Thanks for looking, may you have a Blessed Day

JAWS, the pellet bag tote.
Getting older or at least not getting younger! I'm always thinking about ways to prepare to make life easier as joints get stiffer and strength diminishes. Yup, it happens. Just like the old guys used to tell me it would when I was younger. I made a toothed gripper to get pellet bags more easily into the house. I've posted a video of how I made it should anyone be interested.Video:
