I have been encoureged to post pics so here are a few of past projects.

Kitchen Island I designed and built. It has a curly maple top.
Mini Hoosier cabinet (40" tall) plans were in one of the magizines. It was lots of fun to build.
Redwood outdoor table for customer.

I will take some shop pics one of these days.

My favorite is the Kitchen Island. I love that top!! As for the pen...well I don't like rattlesnakes but the pen looks good. Great lookin' work!

Great looking work. I love the contrast of the island.

[Christopher Stahl]

Very nice work. I'm really liking that kitchen island too. It's stunning.

Scott, thanks for posting the pictures. Very impressive work. As others have said, the kitchen island piece is a real beauty. Don't you just love to work with curly maple?

You were a brave soul to incorporate inset, side-hung drawers on the Hoosier cabinet. Nicely done. With drawers that big I probably would have opted for sliders, but that's just my bias. I will be candid and say I don't care for the drawer pulls on that piece, however. They seem to overpower the otherwise handsome piece.

did you turn the legs on the kitchen table yourself? looks great!

[Bob DiGiacomo]

Wow, Nice work Scott! I like the white paint and the maple contrast. Where do you get the 8 quarter Curly maple?

[Scott Velie]

No I did not turn the posts due to time constraints. I ordered them from Rockler.

The 8/4 maple is actually edged 3/4 maple with MDF underneath.
Your comment tells me I achieved exactly what I wanted.

The drawers on the cabinet were as in the plan and very easy to make.
Remember it is a miniature. (only about 40" high overall). That is why the pulls look somewhat over sized.

Nice work Scott. I really like kitchen island. Are there drawers or doors on the backside?

[Joe Chritz]

Very nice indeed but I must say when I read Rattlesnake pen I wasn't thinking the writing kind.

Very nice work! I'd much rather see the rattlesnake skin on the pen than the real thing. Nicely done.

[Scott Velie]

Al,
There are doors on the back. (sorry my photography needs work)

I had no idea that you could turn a rattlesnake and get such figure. That heartwood/sapwood mix pattern is very cool. Who knew?

I like rattlesnakes.....good eatin'
Nice work on all your projects

[Scott Velie]

turning them was easy. convincing them to get on the lathe was tough.
