My brother and I have talked about building some outdoor furniture for mother's day, and well... time is almost up. I know the basic design I would like to build, but I have some questions regarding the materials and finishing. The items will be designed to sit on their front porch, which will...
I humbly introduce myself to all that were here before me. My name is James, and I make flutes full time plus. It is a labor of love that I am very thankful for the opportunity to do. My business is gray fox flutes, if ever someone out there is curious, has advice, or a question, I love to talk...
Here is the 2nd goblet I've made to date. It was turned from an old piece of cedar given to me by a friend. An inclusion in the base was left in it due to the shape of the log. Thought about cutting it off and turning a separate piece then gluing them together but the wife said she liked it...

This is a red cedar blanket chest that i'm finishing up. The heart is actually the locking mechanism. It is attached to a dowel which pins the top down when the heart is installed.
Hi, all!
Anyone interested in a 36" wide cedar door? The upper half is a window.
What I'm looking for is some pretty wood to make a couple of smallish instrument cases, preferably 1/4 QS. That said, I wouldn't turn down quatersawn 10" W poplar. Otherwise, make me an offer.
