Handmade Portraits #1: Handmade Portraits: Wood Mosaics

19 days ago by weirdwolf | 4 comments »

Robin and Kathy Tucker of woodmosaics stopped working in town back in 1986. After Robin’s intricate wood-inlayed work was featured in The Best of Missouri Hands catalog and commissioned by Ralston Purina, they were on their way to full time crafting. Influenced by Amish quilt patterns, Robin’s excellent woodworking uses exotic natural woods that range from Satinwood from Sri Lanka to Purpleheart from Central and South America. All of the wood is completely natural, with only a cle...

Opposing Arch Table #1: Sketchup Design

66 days ago by Blake | 14 comments »

I have been thinking about making another table lately. I had so much fun building the Sewing Table that I wanted to make something for our house. And my wife has wanted a place to put her collection of jewelry. So we came up with this idea (actually it was mostly her idea) and I started doing some designing today. This is what I came up with so far. The idea is to make a hall table with a lifting “lid” and a hidden jewelry case underneath with lots of room for necklaces, brace...

A Thomas the Tank Engine table #2: 15 mm short!

86 days ago by Mark Shymanski | 2 comments »

Well had a great couple of days in the shop finishing up -almost- Paul’s table. The edge moulding I was going to put around the table top machined well, it even looked good until I started mitreing the corners and cutting it to length. Side 1 went okay, side 2 ikay, side 3…problems. The end of the moulding and the last moulding are 15 mm short. I’d neglected to factor in the width of my mouldings when I measured out the lengths so I cut the third side short. I think I...

124 days ago by Skip | 15 comments »

Please don’t be too critical on this one. This was my first video and also my first attempt to inset an inlay. I had a lot of hours in this table and was very nervous. You may ask, “Why the inlay”. I just wanted an accent. - – Skip – -

An Unbelievable Find

147 days ago by DaveConry | 18 comments »

I was driving down the road today when I spotted a “FREE” sign on a dresser sitting on a driveway. I am not above picking up free furniture quality wood when I get a chance, so I stopped to take a look. The dresser was not of good quality. As I turned to return to my vehicle a man walked out and asked if I needed any other furniture. He was the landlord and a renter had abandoned a lot of stuff in the house. I went in and had a look at what was there. What caught my eye was a dini...

May 14, 2008 ~ Happy Birthday Samantha This is one of my favorite days of the year; the day my grandaughter Samantha was born. It seems like yesterday but it was really 10 years ago.
