walnut

I thought the folks here might enjoy seeing these two bowls - they are both from the same crotch - the first division at the top of a black walnut tree. These were custom turned for the owner of the tree and I delivered them last Thursday. This was the hardest black walnut I have ever encountered.

Finished this one up. The box is cherry, the top is maple and resin and it's lined with walnut. Teaching STEM I don't have many girls that take my class. If a girl takes my class for three years and isn't a turd :) I started making them a box for a graduation present a couple of years ago. I've...

It was a beautiful day in glorious East Tennessee yesterday so I thought I'd get outside and do a little milling. Milled up two walnut logs into some quarter sawn and flat sawn stuff. I also split a nice eastern red cedar for my BIL. Got right at 150 bd/ft. We did find two nails that...

Well, it's been quite awhile since I've posted here, but I have been doing some woodworking, thought I'd post some pics of some of the stuff I've done. Ended up starting my own website just for woodworking so I could show family that doesn't live near me what I do for fun...

Finally completed and just needs a final coat of wax, then it will be delivered. Walnut ... solids and shop made veneers; plywood panels on ends and back Bending ply for the bowed drawer front and doors, veneered with shop made walnut, solid wood edged Regular ply for the straight drawer fronts...

Made from Walnut. 72” x 42” with two 20” leafs so it is big when fully extended. Shop made veneer on top of maple plywood, backing walnut veneer on the bottom. Solid wood edge all around with mitered corners. Solid wood aprons and built up legs. Transtint mission brown dye, shellac seal...

I've been using up a few shorts. Figured these would be better than the burn pile!

A box for a friend to store his watches. Nothing fancy inside but I think he will like it. Sort of a surprise as he asked me about one some time back. Thanks for looking. Walnut, Ash, Poplar, plywood (drawer bottoms). Danish Oil and poly finish with a few coats of wax. I cut them on the sled I...

While several of you were attending the FWW gathering, I was at my family reunion which was also in Indiana (Brown County State Park). Every year at our family reunion we have a corn hole/bean bag tournament. The final two teams then play a ‘surprise’ game for the final round to determine the...

The bedroom furniture project is complete (except for the two long bed rails that will convert the crib to a full size bed .. but no rush for these). Nice little top cabinet that dresses up the dresser (in my opinion) and will give the grand daughter lots of room for the 'girly' stuff. This...

With the crib, nightstand and changing station under my belt, it was time to get a going on the dresser. It is now complete and delivered: Wood: Jatoba, Walnut, Poplar. MDF (under top laminate); notice the drawers were made from continuous pieces so the grain flows across the front...

The nightstand and changing station, to go with the crib delivered a while back http://familywoodworking.org/forums/showthread.php?33756-2-in-1-bed-for-the-daughter-as-the-baby-is-on-board&highlight=crib, are completed and in place. My thanks to Glenn B. for the inspiration and the consultation...

I made a table a few weeks ago for a friend from a door that was her great-grandmothers. I had to shorten the door and had a piece of the stile left over so I made her this little keepsake box. The top is the piece of wood left over. I think it's fir, but I'm not positive. It has some really...

Yep, 62 in total. 2 have managed to sneak away already. One more slated to go on Monday. The remainder for the daughter's baby shower favors, coming in mid January. Woods used: Cherry: box sides and top Ash: white in ribbon Walnut: brown in ribbon Poplar: box bottom...

So, I had this scrap piece of spalted poplar and a small piece of walnut. So with a little cutting, routing, sanding and gluing, I turned them into this finish is a spray lacquer .. man this stuff stinks to high heaven. Fun little project so I am sure I will be making more of these...

Started this in advance, anticipating what has now become a reality. Now have a deadline to meet so the pressure is on. Starting here: The sides will be detachable and replace with longer pieces to hold a full size mattress when the crib is no longer needed. I am skipping the making of a...

I picked up a bunch of walnut this past spring and I'm finally getting around to finishing up some bowls from it over the past couple weeks. This stuff cuts like butter and once the oil hits it the grain really pops! I also finished up an oak bowl that had been laying around on the floor for...

These aren't the best of pics (possted them on Instagram from my phone in the shop last night) but decided it's been kinda slow around here so I'd post them anyway. I had some free time last night and the humidity blew away for a bit so the shop was only 94 degrees. I have a stack of bowls that...

Hey folks. I'm Bill from Pulaski Tennessee. I found this forum and it looks like a lot of good information so I hope to pick up some good tips and get a little inspiration. I like to make walking canes and walking sticks but also do other woodworking projects. I'd classify my work as...

This one now joins the two end tables (one can be seen in the second pic) and the sofa table. Now just one more to go, a square end table, and the set will be complete. Walnut frames and drawer fronts (real and false). Walnut plywood for end panels. Walnut burl veneer for the tops...
