    Inheritance gloat - Old 'Arn of a different kind

    Well, 37 years after my Great Grandfather passed, I finally got the last of my inheritance - a 50 ft. Wardmast'r Nickel Plated Steel Measuring Tape in the original box from Monkey Ward. Anyone have any advice on determining the vintage? There aren't any dates on anything.

    New carved spoon - what kind of finish?

    Here's a spoon carved from Basswood. You can see it better if you enlarge it. I didn't want to change the color because I wanted you to see it as white as it is. My last attempt at staining was pretty disastrous. I'd appreciate suggestions about how to finish it.

    Another what kind of wood

    A friend brought two pieces of this wood, one for me and the other to scroll him a sign. He didn't know where it came from or what it is. End grain is so tight it feels smooth where the boards were cut. Any ideas?? http://www.ncwoodworker.net/pp/showphoto.php?photo=9547&cat=500&ppuser=362...

    A different kind of box...

    I turn a lot of ring boxes which are simply small lidded bowls. I have found from experience that these items need to be fairly small so that the lid is easily graspable by people with small hands. Here is a new shape for me out of cherry that is 4 1/2" in diameter and 2 3/4" tall. Gotta...
