Ok Fred mission accomplished, big round ones made into small flat and square ones. I figure there's a good 1000 BF there about 1/2 pine and 1/2 sweet gum.
Here's what the sweet gum looks like. Some of the boards look like someone took a brush with burnt umber and burnt sienna and touched the...

We'll I finally got around to making a tenoning jig for my router table. I have a small shop and I don't have a table saw. I use my router table for most joints that I have to make.

When my wife opened this present up on Christmas morning her...

Today was a big day for me, I turned my very first bowl. Now that I have an idea of how it works, I might try something smaller, maybe with a lid.
I also think a ring bowl is in the works... One of those niffty things with a finger like spike in the middle of the bowl to be used for rings...

It is 24" long. The handle is laminated hardwood flooring (Brazilian Mahogany). The steel came from my son's scrap bucket. The fennel is 1/2 of a 3/4" copper pipe union. I have $8 invested...
Despite the loss of nearly 1/3 of the jobs in the NC furniture industry in recent years, there are a few examples of campanies that do it right. One that still makes furniture here and does it extremely well is Craftique Furniture of Mebane, who make beautiful 18th century reproduction early...
I would like to get a simple small coffee table (shaker style)... or just table top, made out of some cherry boards that were cut on my property about 10 years ago. Does not need to be finished - just put together. I do not have the tools to do it.
Hoping to find someone in the Apex, Cary...
