I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing it! I also watched almost every video you have on You-Tube. Now I've got to go carve something! Your furniture looks fantastic.

The custom wooden rocking chair arm video is blocked due to copyright content… I doubt they got that one right. Your videos look professional, but it's easy to see you created the content and you own the content.

Resawing a 17'' wide 2'' thick live edge canadian black walnut slab

I'm using my band saw to re-saw a 2'' thick piece of Canadian black walnut into 2 boards that I will glue up for the top of a coffee table top.

This is a live edge board that measures about 17'' at it's widest part, I've already squared up the board using my planer due to the boards width.

I plan on using the resawn boards for a solid walnut maloof inspired coffee table, I've never done this coffee table base with a live edge so I'm really interested in see how this turns out.

Thanks again for stopping in to have a look, hope you enjoy the video.

Applying oil/resin finish to curly walnut trestle coffee table

In this video I'm applying my 3 part hand rubbed oil/resin finish to a Canadian Black Walnut coffee table base. I talk more about what and amount of ingredients in my 3 part hand rubbed oil resin finish. I can't call it mine though, pretty sure it's been used by many many people. I initially read about it in a Sam Maloof book I think it was called Woodworker.

Well I hope you enjoy the video, I finish it up by showing the curly walnut book matched live edge coffee table top that has had 4 coats of finish.

The finished coffee table will look just like one of these sculpted solid wood coffee tables I've built

Project updates

In this update of what I'm working on in my wood shop I give a quick walk through with a little discussion of the pieces.

I start by showing my most recent finished coffee table which has a book matched live edge curly walnut top with my maloof inspired trestle table base, all from solid 2'' walnut.

I'm also working on a pair of my musicians chair, I've built a prototype and after lot's of time sitting and playing guitar I've become satisfied with most of the details, I'm making a few adjustments to the new version but mostly cosmetic.

I have a large walnut rocking chair I've been working on for a little while, but I'm waiting for a part for my die grinder which I feel like I've been waiting forever!

I have a finished cafe table which turned out beautifully

Thanks again for having a look, always a pleasure to share.

Pouring and polishing an epoxy bar top counter

I've been working on a custom home bar built from Bubinga and Walnut using solid and veneered wood. The counters will be protected from water using System Three Mirrorcoat a 2 part 2:1 epoxy finish that self levels and cures crystal clear.

I had to give the counter a light sand and through 400 to 4000 then used a 3 step polishing process to bring the counter back to a beautiful gloss shine.

Project update - chair rail,chairs,stools,coffee table oh my!

SORRY ABOUT THE SOUND YOU WILL HAVE TO TURN UP WHEN MY VOICE GOES QUIET

Walk through the wood shop talking about the various projects I'm currently working on. I have been working on a home bar that is made from Bubinga and Walnut I'm almost finished just the live edge Bubinga chair rail to be installed and some wall panels.

I then show my most recent dining chair design that has a different shaped headrest, legs and an inlay of Gabon ebony. The chair is built from Canadian Black Cherry.

My good friend Trevor is working on a rustic salvaged lumber coffee table with a metal base and red pine from the 1800's from a house in Milton, Ontario.

Next on to a bunch of sculpted bar stools and a low back chair.

Thanks for having a look
