i love the cleverness of the handles letting you do a full length cut for the runners and not have to stop in the piece, very nifty. I will be stealing that idea.
the finish on the mesquite desk is target em6000. The Claro desk finish is waterlox. I like the deeper color I tend to get on walnut with a wipe on varnish, I feel it makes it look a little richer.
finished up a mesquite 'tile' desk, just a few minor fittings on the drawer guides left. I have some handles coming in this week that I will mount, but I am still up in the air on what style of...
the side pull sub drawer was specific to be tall enough to hold a 1911 per the customer's request. The long hidden drawer that attached to the lower handle is lower profile (maybe 3/4") so it is...
I wish I had a bigger shop... but that is not in the future plans at this time.. until then, it is one machine at a time. I had a huge pecan table I worked on yesterday that I had to lug outside to...
A few projects I have been working on lately:

Frederick, I will probably list it, but may use it. I still have a 90$ ikea desk I use, but this project was more to use the slab up and do some veneer practice. I may list it high, and if it sells...
A little pet project of mine I have been working on a little at a time in between other projects that I finally finished. Made with one of the last slabs of a pecan tree I milled up a few years ago,...
The bookmatch for the desk was actually only half of the total length of a bookmatch set. I used the other half to make a breakfast table that I actually think has a lot better character. This one is...
I had a set of book matched pieces of mesquite I started playing around with at Christmas (this is actually from the same log as the table I just finished). I figured I would make a desk. I didn't...
You could very well be correct on the type of tree, but I would be very skeptical on the given description if it is osage. That is well outside its normal range, and the shape/growth style of the...
I am trying to improve my technique for veneer cutting for marquetry and keep running in to chip out/tear out on my stacks. I tried to find some tips and tricks, but seems that I always end up with a...
what is your attachment method on the legged style ones, just small tenons from the legs to the frame? I do a lot of humidors, but want to try something may of this style on a few to play with new...
What tool do you use to set the curve on the outside? Are you just curving a long single board then miter joining them?
Its been a while since I finished much, but I got a few projects finished in parallel and finally delivered this last week:
A jewelry box for an anniversary gift. This was a 'follow up' item...
Thanks Bob. As far as resaw height, that is the main reason I am looking to upgrade. I mill a lot of my own slabs, and usually save the drops/character pieces and cut them in to veneers for...
Thanks Bob, I am pricing/specing the MM S500P and Laguna LT18HD. The lack of feedback on the G0701 does make me wonder though.
I am shopping for a saw for larger reading and this model intrigues me, but it seems that the reviews are very sparse. Does anyone have any personal experience or own this saw?
The Olympian is Carly Patterson. She won individual gold in gymnastics and two other silvers. I did the box work and the husband had a friend do the engraving as a favor for him, because I really...
hah, spellcheck fixed tenons to demons on my phone..
I did floating tenons between the slabs, with alternating heights. This helps give me better stiffness across the joint. I use epoxy for...
apparently one Olympian medalist box deserves another. This is for an Aggie's wife who won a few in Athens in 2004. We wanted something custom, so we came up with the idea of using olive wood to tie...
the base is a simple breakdown. I use bed rail hardware for the two stretchers so that it can be installed tool free. Then the top is secured by threaded inserts and machine bolts. This lets is be...
I am looking at making a bed and the wife likes the footboard/headboard on this bed:

Any thoughts on how to do the details on...
you said a 2k poly, but do you have a link to the finish?
Very nice work. I have done a slab from berskshire, and I knew immediately when I saw the crate that you got yours from there. They were...
