This Intarsia Pelican was another joint venture. She did most of the work and was in a crunch for time at the end so I joined in. Here are pictures of it before and after finishing. We made it this year in June and it was supposed to be a birthday gift for her father, but was a monthish late...
Here is an Intarsia Rooster that was a gift for my mother last Christmas. It is my third go at the intarsia craft. It is made of Bloodwood, Butternut, Caribbean Pine, Ebony, Jarrah, Red Oak, Walnut, and Yellowheart…
I found the pattern in the Fall 2008 issue of “Scrollsaw Woodworking &...
Here is the second Intarsia project I did – and was made for my brother inlaw. I made the pattern in October of last year, started cutting on it in November, and completed it in December.
It was constructed of Ambrosia Maple, Holly for the wave crest, Ebony for the eyes, and Yellow Heart for...
This Intarsia Duck was a joint venture (My sweet lady, and myself worked together on this one), and it was the first go at the intarsia craft for both of us. Here are pictures of it before and after finishing (It is still wet in the picture, it is actually a satin finish). We made this last year...

Shea Crisson of Channel 11 News just finished interviewing Kristen and one of her friends for tonight's news (probably the 4:00PM segment). Her friend is having a fundraiser in lieu of her birthday with all proceeds going to COTA in Kristen's name.
If you are near a TV at 4PM please watch...
Just finished up this djembe and wanted to gloat a bit :) I love it. Did it for a friends son (1 year birthday) and decided to try some things I had wanted to try. It's the first drum I've thrown up on my lathe... wont be last!! Finished with a coat of dark walnut danish oil and a few 2 more...
I have a whole lot of heart pine flooring which was kiln dried a few years ago. The company we bought it from is now out of business. Unfortunately, the wood was stored in a a dark warehouse for over 2 years. When we were finally ready to clean it and use it, we discovered it had a very musty...
:swoon:We have a house that needs to be demolished. We can not afford to do it. We were wondering if anyone would be willing to demolish the house for the lumber and bricks and copper wiring and it also has large members of oak. Is there anyone out there that would want this? It does have a lot...
Just bought about 45 bf (half FS & half QS). What a shock, it averaged about $10/bf before milling with a waste factor of about 25-30%. :eusa_booh
It is beautiful wood, but my wallet is kind of in a seizure mode-it keeps trembling and shaking.
Any similar experiences out there? Did I get a...
Glenbear suggested these folks in response to Henry's post a couple of weeks ago asking about what materials to use for a country farm table.

I was curious to see it so I ordered some, but they sure don't give it away! :eek: 20...
Thought I'd put this up for ideas, comments, or whatever may come.
I've just started working with the first piece of Purple Heart I've played with. I notice that when cut, the exposed surfaces are actually somewhat brown, and it appears that over the next hours to a day, the purple color...
I am looking unmilled heartpine weatherboarding. Random lengths is OK, but prefer 10'-14'. I need about 300 sf. I would prefer nothing under 5/8 thick as I will dress down to 7/16. email me at windknotnc@suddenlink.net
I may be in the market for some heart pine. I would need approx. 40 bf of 4/4 and enough 12/4 to make 4 legs. I have a client that wants a farm table (rustic looking) and this may be an option if the wood is available. If you have any or know of any for sale, please pm me.
Thanks,
Mike
I just finished a couple of heart pine pens. Nothing fancy as you can see, but the story behind the wood makes it kinda special for my mother-in-law. The wood came from one of the houses on the old homestead down in south Georgia. They estimate that the pine was cut over one hundred years ago...
