Hi all,
I'm not getting any younger, and wood seems to be getting heavier - so I decided it was time, while I'm still able, to build a couple of instruments that will stay in the family. My eldest daughter, Kelly, has a six year old who is getting ready to take lessons so they're getting this...
I finished this carving awhile back and have not gotten around to posting.

I got the idea for this carving off of a Christmas card. This was carved from Tupelo. Tupelo carves well with really...
It is that time of year again. Time for Dirty Santa with my extended family :). For the last couple years I have been bringing something I made.
This year I want to finish up a platter:

This is a fun piece of hickory that Joe Bradshaw...
This is more about photography than carving. I built my new lightbox tonight to take photos of my Pens but thought I would practice with my wife's Santa collection. A friend of ours carves these each year. I wish I had started collecting them from the begining but I am fortuate enough to have...
This years Charlotte Woodturners Christmas meeting/party was nice and I walked away with a beautiful maple burl bowl by John Benton (http://www.woodturningbyjohn.com). John is the 2009 president of the club and an amazing turner (check out his site)
They do a "dirty santa" gift exchange. This...
Thursday night I attended my first Charlotte Woodturners meeting ... well, Christmas party. Lately I've been trying to dedicate some time to the local organizations and get more involved in the local woodworking community ... this was another step in that direction.
First let me say ... what a...

The trip to the Philippines is finally over... now I'm way behind. I'm trying to catch up on my Christmas work. Here's a few items I turned.
Two spalted maple mills and one mahogany with inlay (where have you seen that design before?). Also, one Box elder bowl.
... more next weekend.
First, I would like to thank all of you that welcomed me to this new found forum. I appreciate all of the kind comments. I thought I would post this photo of Marco, who I am told is Santa's right hand man. This likeness of Marco is carved out of basswood and is 6"x2 1/2".
As always, Comments...
I had the pleasure of meeting Rod, lrb150 today just outside of Mocksville on his way back up or down the mountain, not sure which. I got some cedar, cherry, and some walnut from him. For those of you that are going to the Santa run Saturday I think you will be well pleased. And of course...
With Rod's blessing, I have decided to see if any of you would be interested in some of my lumber as well. Without stepping on any toes here hopefully, I have some species to offer as well. I would plan on making the same stops as Rod as long as there is some interest. I need to make room in my...
Happy Monday all! I hope all you dads out there (and everyone else of course) had a wonderful Father's Day weekend. I got a Granberg Mini Mill and can't wait to try it out this weekend (side gloat).
Approximately 1 month ago I wrote about doing some sort of lumber run down the mountain from...
Santa stopped in my old neighborhood in Apex with a project kit for me. The LOML had one of her girl friends coming up for the week end and she delivered it to me :eusa_danc The kit had written and video instructions:thumbs_up and all the pieces where there
I assembled the kit and this is...
I got a oouple of new toyls from Santa Claus (aka LOML). Fortunately, I printed pics and items of what I wanted.
Lie Nielsen dovetail saw and a hammer. When I cut it and it doesn't fit, I make it fit!
A beautiful thing happens to when you tell the LOYL how much you want certain tools ... it sinks in!
While she was on a trip to Waxhaw to get something done for me, the person she was visiting offered up a Performax drum sander at a great price ... so she got it! What a great woman!
You could...
Seriously, it fell over but not in Santa's sleigh. Got this today just in time for Christmas. I am just overjoyed and like a kid on Christmas morning.
This is how it looked upon receipt.
This is how it looks now.
Luckly, there was no damage but when I saw it I just about...
