    A different technique

    I'm not sure how this will turn out yet. If it turns out good I'll share the technique. I was going for a antique look so I didn't get too particular with fit and finish. This is with the first coat of waterlox. If I like the finished product I likely make a table base for it ans maybe add a...

    An experiment in stain

    These are called black irises. When the flowers wither and die they will stain your fingers if you pull them off. I cut some off and stuck them in a jar. Then I added some mineral spirits. DNA might have been a better choice but I'm out of that today. I'll let them soak for a few days. Will try...

    A music box

    This was started before Christmas (fast huh?) I had the finger joints for the sides and fit but lost interest. The top and bottom were roughed out but I didn't know if I wanted to use them so it sat out in the shop in the cold until today. The music box was scrounged from an older cheap store...

    Broken dust collector sold.

    Trips the breaker. Great for parts or a DYI project. Make an offer. I'm very flexible. Impeller is good as is the bag. I upgraded rather than chase down the problem.

The more you buy the better the pricing. I suggest giving a call for details. some is kiln dried and some is air dried. good bad...

    A table for a chessboard
