Applied GF Neutral/Condition then antique cherry. Followed with their sanding sealer and a light coat of Glaze effects burnt umber to get this look. I am trying to match the blind samples below. I'm good on the color but I think I subdued the grain more than I wanted too... I'm thinking of...
Getting ready for my 1st Furniture project (Sofa Table). Wife said no more Toys the grandsons room is full. Since this will be my first try at making furniture I don't really want to get to expensive wood. For the toys I've been getting everything at Lowes.

Hi All, it's been a spell. Got these today and just thought I'd gloat a bit :eusa_danc These are the perfect size for my mill, as far as production goes. Hope everybody's been doing well and your all having a great day.

LOML saw Norm building this piece and decided she wanted one for the laundry room for storage. Norm called it a Pine Bar. I used the last of my recycled antique pine stash for the project. The finish is a mixture of equal parts BLO, Mineral Spirits and Varnish.

I finally got a chance to go to the "BORG" with transport; I needed a new soldering iron, and looked over the wood and saw what I needed to make a stand for my DP, which has sat forlornly on top of (variously) my sewing machine table or my writing desk!
I used an angle gauge to take the...
This bench, inspired by Asian design elements, is made of reclaimed old growth pine with walnut accents. Wedged through mortise and tenons join the stretchers to the legs in the trestle base. A walnut spline joins the two seat halves.
Hoping someone can give me a lead on a sawmill that might deliver pine sawdust in bulk (tractor trailer load). We are located in Eastern NC and it will be used as horse bedding. Please email gandifarm@yahoo.com
