Here is a Walnut coffee table.
I created it from a fallen tree that I
squirreled away a couple years ago.
This is the first slab I have leveled with my
slab leveling jig, it worked great.
The legs are set into dadoes in the bottom at
ten degrees. The trestle stringer is mortised through
the legs and held with a tusk tenon.
There is no glue in this piece, so it can be be broken down
for whatever. The table is 7’6” long and 18” to 24” wide 20” high and 2” thick.
These pictures are not the greatest, I can post better ones later.

New top for a vintage cabinet. It’s made out of anigre. I found this economical hardwood to be easy to work.

Thanks,

I built this yacht ladder a couple months back for a customer in Seattle.
It is made of phillippine mahogany. Stained with antique cherry water base from Rockler, very nice high pigment stuff. I finished it with a sprayed laquer.

It was 10 6” long and 22” wide to fit the space. I was given a very short notice to get it fabricated and installed.

Thanks for looking

Here is a hand build. The top is made of a wild cherry that grows naturally here in the Pacific Northwest. The legs are white pine and the wedges for the tenons are black walnut. All the wood in this project was havested from my local area, milled and dried by me. If you look at my workshop pictures you can see some of the wood I have stored up in the background. The stool is finished with Boiled Linseed Oil. I had a great time putting this together using saws, planes, chisels, files and scrapers. It is now serving in my home as a kids bathroom stepstool, laptop platform, kitchen stool…

Here is the bookshelf I built from the new yankee workshop book. It is made of oak that was leftover from another project. I stained it with an espresso stain then darkened it by using a rattle can of black held high off the parts to fog them. The finish is a two part duravar lacquer. I do have the fourth shelf somewhere outside the picture.

I have been dreaming of making a set of windsor chairs. So, I have begun making some of the tools needed for windsors. I’ve made this one out of walnut and maple, with a hacksaw blade as the scraper. I based this design off of Eliza Bizarrri’s reamer as the angle is made at six degrees. I used the lathe to get the basic shape then I fine tuned the shape with spokeshaves, bit and brace, block plane, and chisels. I cut a relief ahead of the blade for the shavings to escape.

I recently completed this sanding block that I saw in a woodworking magazine. It is made from scraps of Maple and
Walnut that I have collected from my local area. It is finished with a couple coats of linseed oil.
