Had some changes in life over the past couple of years. However, I haven’t not been in the wood shop any (actually had to build a new one last year). Thought I’d show off the latest project I’ve had going … first one that I ever started with something for me in mind. I built […]
Beetle Killed Pine Dining Table
TBL19-405
Just delivered my latest project … a Cedar and Ponderosa Pine TV stand. Came out really nice. Had a bad spot in the top that I just “improved” with a little bit of Jasper. Think it’s time for me to build something for you?
Cedar Burl Wildlife Mount
Here is my latest. Bear skull mounted on Cedar Candlewax Burl. It doesn’t take a huge piece of wood to make an artistic statement, only the right piece. Who might have a trophy of their own? http://www.highcountryturner.com/portfolio/portfolio-page/#89
CED18-399
Just a fun little multi-wood end table. I made this for a friend at church who’s husband had turned the base from a piece of Cedar, but had passed away before he could complete his project, I took his finished stand, paired it with a Russian Olive base and a natural edge piece of Cherry […]
Oak & Box Elder
Even though these were some Christmas gifts, thought it was finally time to show them off. Made these for the kids this a few months back. One handle is Scrub Oak, the other is Cedar. Both have just a little turquoise to make them special. The Pizza Cutter and Ice Cream Scoops are just kits […]
Different wood … same process
Have always said that only a woodworker would have a $100 fire in the wood stove. Went through the same “is this worth my time” decision process on this piece of wood as I pulled it out of the firewood stack. This is a piece of Box Elder with some black line spalting and a […]
Seeing what’s there before you start
For years, I’ve tried to explain to people how I can “see” a finished project before I begin. First day in the woodshop yesterday had me going through my process again. Note the photo of this piece of Maple showing the end. See all the black lines (spalting) and color? This is not just a […]
Tamarisk Burl … something really unique
Just may be one of the most unique pieces of wood I’ve ever gotten my hands on. Tamarisk Burl from the Grand Valley of Colorado. Buddy who gave me the first piece said he’ll show me where to get more. We’ll see if he holds to his word. If so, there will be more of […]
You don’t see that everyday …
I’ve got a couple of new pieces (alright, 3) going up on the site tonight. Several months back, I set a goal for myself and over the next week, I’ll see how well that works out. I’ve got two separate pieces going to two separate County Fair’s this next week. My “First Light” table will […]
