Well folks, I’ve got almost all of my stock milled down and ready to go!
I went to the planing mill (Hicksville Planing Mill) and bought quite a bit of wormy maple. (I believe it is the Ambrosia bug that crawls in the wood and makes all sorts of colors in the surrounding wood. It is also called Ambrosia Maple)
I was in for quite a surprise! I was looking for some spalted maple, but this stuff was only $1.75 a B.F.!!!I bought all I needed (and then some), they even surfaced it f...

I can see light at the end of the tunnel with this project but still have hardware and lighting to pick out before final assembly. It has been several weeks since my last blog but a cold snap and empty propane tanks makes for slow work. Plus propane is still going up in price not like gas. Throw in a computer crash (I’ve been gettin my LJ fix on the office computer) and it really slows down the blogging and comments. I was able to start the finish work this past weekend after sever...

Check out these spalted maple guitar tops. This has to be my all time favorite wood. I just love the character and detail. I think I would use this wood for a small cabinet instead of a guitar… or maybe even a small box.

Tales of A Wood-Worker’s Tools
Just a short-sort of a blog//story this morning to get the wood-chips in my arteries flowing again with stimulus from my imagination. Ah yes, that wonder-full word called imagination that in reality becomes the igniter of all that speaks art.

Which came first....!
....and so there remains a question that has been posed to me….which I shall attempt in some feeble way to exploit some light upon. It has been asked:
Does art imitate nature....?
or
Does nature imitate art....?
WOW! What a power pack of a question or either the shadow of thinking that would tend to describe and inscribe me within a box. Can any answer this question or is the question it-self designed, to limit an answer within the fabric of two popu...
