YEE HAH! That is a beautiful piece. I havent posted in a really long time but this one brought me out of the "woodwork". Really nice!!

Awesome Rocker! Really nice work.

Are you a member of the Smith County Woodworkers Group? I used to be a member for a few years, good group of woodworkers.

Hi Steve, we have 1 year old twins. sitting around has not been an option lately.:)

Jim thanks for the comments. I would venture to say that the Mesquite that resembles cherry is Texas Honey Mesquite. There is also black mesquite which is much browner in color. Also the color is...

The stone was applied after the bar! Wow, what a nightmare it would be trying to scribe 4" thick bar top to that stone surface.

I agree, the stonework is amazing, it really adds to the...

I suggested the wiping varnish finish and even showed a sample. They have a desk with the BLO/wax finish and love it. I guess I should have shown them Flexners or Jeff Jewitts information. Live...

I spent 20+ years in various parts of Texas where my love of Mesquite took off. The Mesquite I used was Texas Honey, the large slabs came from the Austin area and the large doors from Cuero (sp?). ...

Thanks John, The finish they requested was BLO and wax. I used a dark oak wax to "age" a little quicker. I told them about the maintenance on a wax finish, especially a bar top and that is what...

Hi All, It has been quite a long time since I have posted. I have been lurking daily. I have been watching the mesquite post in the classifieds, nice stuff by the way, and thought of this project...

Wow, nice kitchen Steve! Unfortunately the LOML was looking over my shoulder when we saw it. I'm in trouble now.

Please check your private messages.

I will join the crew for Mesquite, a true southern pecan, then cherry, walnut.

gorgeous! Nice work.

Dave with a base of that heft I think 6/4 would be the best choice to keep the piece visually balanced. Unles your going for the big bulky look. Have you made a mock up? Where will it sit? in a...

Awesome, looking good. You might repost everything as a set and let us see it all together

It has holes in the bottom and access to those much like a lazy susan. When I am doing a lot of sanding I screw it down out the way. I like it. Saves me some time waiting for the sander to wind...

Wow Gail, that is awesome. I just watched the trailers and they were great! A star is born. Keep up the great work!

I would suggest doing a search on this sight for Power post beetles. There are several methods to get rid of them. Heating to 120 degrees for >24 hours is one. good luck.

All great information, thanks. It looks like they are going to need to seat less people or remodel the dining room.:) I wonder which they will choose? I think I like the 29 to 30" range. Thanks...

Is there a standard per person width to allow for when sizing a dining room table for length? I have been asked to consider building a table that seats 10 closed, 20 open. thanks for the help.

Now that looks like it was fun. Great Job!

Hans, the bed comes apart into basically four pieces and your right, its not the lightest piece I've ever built. The headboard being the heaviest, I used the flat four wheeled dollies to move it...

Awesome shop Marc, love the space.

Irvin, details coming. I have a whole series of construction pics. As soon as I can post pics clearly I will gladly share them and some comentary. As far the 'EXIT" Sign, I took the bed to a local...

picture test

Thanks for the comments, always appreciated.

Jim, any help would be great. I am just using the HP software that came with my camera. I finally achieved a small enough file to upload by...
