Here is my latest completed project, a dining table inspired by Greene and Greene. This is my own design, the last of five pieces done for an exhibition that is coming up in about two weeks.
The table is quartered makore with wenge accents. The top is curved along the sides, and the...
I have been asked to build a mission style coffee table. It's kind of similar in design to this one:
It will be made out of walnut instead of oak.
My question is about the lower shelf. I understand how to attach the top to account for wood movement (figure 8's, or slots, etc.).
However...
I made this Manger scene for LOML for Christmas - It is made out of 1/4 stock that is BC/BW and I am not sure what the white wood is - The base is 3/4 Mahagony that I saved from a job we did back in the summer - again sorry about the picture-I will try again later

Hi Guys/Gals,
I bought some Eureopean style pens recently, wanting to expand my horizons! I was reading through the instructions and noticed the "cut tenon to center ring" step. :elvis: Never did that, although I did find out what my parting tool is used for.
Is there a posting on this...
I've finally completed my first rocking horse, for grandson Nathan, based on plans for a seventeenth-century slab-sided style:
The plans called for 3/8" ply, but I'd have to splice together the 3/8" 24" x 30" piece of baltic-birch I bought from Woodcraft, to get 36" of length for the...
A lady hired me to remount a kitchen cabinet and rehang the doors that used to be on the cabinet. However all the hinge hardware got lost over the 2 years the cabinet doors got kicked around in their basement. I did remount the cabinet. Didn't know the hardware was missing till I got the cabinet...
I know its almost blasphomy, but something has been on my mind (and I'm not just talking about my hair).
Where do ya'll go for ideas in terms of style?
Most mag's I read cover tools (no complaint), have projects/plans (just fine) and cover Woodworking news.
I'm starting to hunger for...
