    A modern style cremation urn

    Commission for a friend who lost her father. A modernist cumaru and padauk urn finished with oil and wax. The padauk strip in the center is a spline joining top and bottom. Grain is continuous on 3 corners, though it’s hard to tell with the cumaru. Final size is about 11.25” tall including feet...

    Australian Burl and Padauk candy dish

    This is my current personal best. It was a real challenge. The top and bottom were turned separately and each component sanded before it came off the lathe. I used one of those contour tools (wires in a row, pressed against wood, shows the reverse contour on the other side of the ruler) to...

    Crosses for neighbors - View1

    I made four of these crosses – three for neighbors as Christmas gifts, and the last one my Mom got… Because of my lighting it is tough to tell in the first picture – but the same angle that is cut on the ends is cut on the face for visual effect. The second pic shows it some… To hang it I...

    Padauk and Shellac

    I tried some 50/50 Zinsser shellac and DNA on some padauk and it turned it purple immediately. Ive been using wop on it so I ll guess Ill go back to that on it..But I was wondering why it did that? Because of the oil in it maybe ?

    Finishing Padauk

    Not sure what I'm doing wrong, or if maybe Padauk has some oils in it that dont like a finish?? A while ago I build a drum shell out of padauk. I sanded it down to about 400 grit and then put a coat of BLO. Gave it a few days to dry (actually ended up being a few weeks) and then tried a spray...
