Today's carving adventure 

measures 24 X 30

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Sunday afternoon lathe fun

The project today was to create something out of the rescued wood from our church’s gym floor.  The hard Maple made some great pens. I have plenty more Maple for more projects. Any ideas of things I can create?

The "Ultimate Date Book"

Had a fun day in the shop today working on the "Ultimate Date Book" One special order and three to be listed on Etsy.com and CraftyScramble.com.

Three books are made from Red Oak and the other one made from Poplar. Each book spline is made from Walnut to give it a majestic look.

All glued up and ready for the finally sanding. Next step drilling for the wooden hinge and sanding the top so the front opens correctly.

Excited to finish them and get them listed. 

Check back and for the finished product.

Special project for our Grand Pups

We got a special request from our sons to make meal time easier at their house. We decided on a Star Wars theme for each meal station which includes a hinged top for storage inside. 

Saturday in the shop

The day started at Home Depot picking out the perfect wood then it was off to my shop to begin working on a special project.   Here are a couple of pictures of the beginning of the project.  Stay tuned for updates.
