Album Art #5
I just posted the Led Zeppelin and Him woodburned art. I am already wondering what I should do next. I was thinking Anthrax or maybe Cradle of Filth. If you have any ideas feel free to post them. Pat
Another craft show coming up
We have just agreed to do another show in our area on Sept. 6th. That doesn’t give us much time to get ready. 14 year old daughter has agreed to help, with compensation of course. She has helped a little in the past but I think this time she will be pretty much involved in the sign making process this time. It will be an interesting next 3 weeks.

Sweeping Juniper Coffee Table #4: Sanding on the juniper base
As you can see, all the crevices have been sandblasted, the gray wood has been taken down to the rich wood grain and the gold is turning to blonde.

Sweeping Juniper Coffee Table #2: The table top. 70% Sanded
Here is the top, it is 70% sanded. You can see the large crack around the center of the the hearts, we will fill these cracks in with inlay and add some to the other side as well so we can balance it out. We add a tempered hardboard to the underside of the top, this adds extra stability and seems to help the wood from twisting over time plus with a few wood screws, bolts and gorrilla glue, it is a great way to attach the top to the base. We knocked the dark spot out of the...
Sweeping Juniper Coffee Table #1: Getting the plan
We have had many requests for coffee tables, so we are making them as fast as we can. We plan on making 2 more coffee tables and I think the next two will have glass tops, anyway here is the project that I am working on. This table has a “sweeping” movement to it. I had a request to make on that was similar to a coffee table table I posted on here. Well this is as close as I can get. We will also have to add a couple of legs so that it will stand without sitting on a base ...
