Woodturner's wonders
I've bought a few things from them in the past (like CBN wheels) and was always happy with their service and products. Ken Rizza is great for helping folks out and customers. However some time ago he sold the business and I guess it went into the crapper. I was following a thread over at AAW on the whole thing that's been going on for a while about the poor response from them (WTW).

Wood TurnersAntique Recipe Box and a New Blog
Digging through a box of stuff that came from my folk's house when they down sized and moved out I came across this old oak box. A little google research suggests it was made in the early 1900s. Many other examples can be found with a google image search. This one though has what I think is an assortment of recipes collected by my mother and grandmother. Many of the recipes in it I recognize from family meals served to my family of 8 over several decades.

Wood Turners 6Wood Mallet from Oak Scraps
Noticed when I dropped a block of dense white oak on my desk that it made a dent. Figured that density might make a good mallet head. I've had a steel baby sledge hammer for several decade that I liked the look of, so I modeled the head after it. All details on the head were cut with my CNC. Curved sides and top, chamfers, and the hole for the handle tenon. Flared the hole using the fluting toolpath to make room for the split tenon to spread into with the wedge. The handle was s
