    QS Sycamore experiment

    I posted a few months ago to get some ideas from you folks. Many thanks for that input. :icon_cheers I bought about 10 bf from Rick DiNardo (Woodworking Source in Mooresville). Mostly 7' x 7.5" x 15/16" at S3S. Nice wood. The Hardwood Store also carries it, but it's not listed on their...

    maple experiment

    I have alway wanted to try and stain maple using vinegar and steel wool. I put a piece of steel wool in white vinegar for a couple days and wiped it on the call, then heated it up by passing it infront of a flame quickly and it turned out better than I though it would. I think I will do the same...

    Shellac flake experiment

    I've been very pleased with Zinsser SealCoat dewaxed shellac over the past 3 years, but decided to try some dewaxed Garnet flakes today just for a change of pace and appearance on a cherry/soft maple plaque. It's way too humid today to apply it to the test scraps and avoid "blushing"...

    Experiment With Logs

    Well, last winter I put several Ambrosia Maples on the ground. Some of the bigger logs I cut up just small enough to roll over to the pile and stack up. I decided to let them "naturally" do their hickey and see what happened. Yesterday I took a couple of them and sawed off the sides. This is...

    Experiment: Start to Finish

    This project included a lot of new stuff for me: :occasion1 This prototype is just plain old SYP, but cheap and interesting nonetheless. Glued up panels for both top and bottom circular pieces (learned a bit about cupping and warping of panels in that exercise). Through mortises...

    Painter's Tape Experiment and gloat

    There's an upside to being unemployed - I got to try out this "Painter's Tape" method and make some sawdust in the mean time. And I really like using the painter's tape - thanks to all that mentioned/recommended it. It's called "Nature's Majesty" from White Tail Designs - I found it in the...

    Redwood Burl Pen Experiment - PICS

    My co-worked Tom offered me a 25-year old redwood burl he picked up in a previous life in California so that a couple pens could come to life. It was a beautiful piece of wood -- well, who's to judge -- so we chopped it up into pen-size blanks! Here are a couple of picture (more in my photo...

    An experiment part deux

    In a continuing effort to think outside the blank, and to reduce my scrap accumulation, I decided to try another pen blank. I had the shop all set up to cut very thin strips of wood for a run of my free-form cutting boards and I said why not cut a few extra while I have everything dialed in. So...

    An experiment

    Inspired by the pens crafted by EagleSC, I thought I would try to think outside of the blank and create a "designer" blank. This is my first attempt at a laminated pen blank and it went OK. I had some problems with not drilling true for the tube and that threw the pattern off a little. And I...
