This is how I make a bottlestopper. This piece of laburnum I got when they cut down this tree , it was only 200 meters from my house!! My bottlestoppers are sold and most of the money goes to charity.

A while back we got a lignum vitae log. Now it was time to cut it into usable pieces.

It was fun to see the machine cutting straight through the log and than seeing the amazing colors in the wood.

A question or something to think about :

We use up a lot of wood between us LJ’s.
Is all your wood FSC ? Until last year i never really thought about it much but from now on i’ll only be using FSC-wood of else reclamed timber.

All the little contributions help a lot!!

What are your thought about this problem?

I made some photo’s during the process and made those in a slide-show. Again there is some nice music on the background bij my pall Gordon Scott.

This was a project on which a learned a lot. I ended up with some large glue joints. Next time i’ll do a better job LOL

Last weekend I started on some small boxes, just a bit of fun. These projects are a nice way to try out new ideas and see if they work.

The first serie’s are made from walnut with a top of pau amarello with maple and walnut veneer.

The second attempt is based on the stringbox-design i saw on LJ. This is my first attempt and this kind of box making. The body is wenge and the veneer is maple.

I’ll try and post some more pictures when it’s finished.

The language is dutch because that’s easiest for me to write in. I’ve build an a translator and I want to know what you guys/girls think about my first setup.

All comments are very welcome and feel free to join the blog.
