Thanks, John - Found out a trick AFTER making my first one.  I now put the part number in an inconspicuous place on each part.  Makes it a whole lot easier.



Yes, I love the nativity as well - a great seller (about 5 a year) all made from 3/4" matched red oak.  Exotics for the trim pieces.  (And the "picker upper" ain't too bad either  [grin] )

My started with our last show of the year. we were very comfortable with our inventory levels going into this show however about halfway through the show we foud ourselves sold out of 14 items. this means that instead of taking the month of January to clean and organize our shop we will be busy replcing inventory.


My projects for tomorrow are 3 special order cuttig boards ad 3 pizza peels for Christmass delivery.

Finish the cutting boards Friday night. Was little worried they were not absorbing the mineral oil fast enough to suit me. But was able to get them back in the shop from the kitchen before my wife got home.  Got the second coat of oil on about 6 PM.


One for by brother -in law and his wife who came by today and one for their son and his wife.  Sort of exchange present while they were here and they were real impress with the cutting board.  Also got my mom rocking chair back together.  I need to put a coat of either laquor (spell check can spell either) or varnish on the part I made to fix the rocker.  Made do that Sunday before I head off to work.  Here a picture of the cutting boards about 900 pm Friday night.  Also got started on making the router table top. Not sure yet if I'll make it 1 1/2" or 2 " thick yet. I'm leaning toward 1 1/2 inch.

ning-img-1498600x450-19949-95.jpgGot the cutting board/trivets cut and rough sanded. Wanted to steam bend some edge banding for a couple of them but cannot locate a reasonably priced (aka cheap) heat source. 


Edit: top rite 3- oiled boards one is all walnut; Center 2- trivets w/ poly; bottom left- 2 trivets no finish considering edge trim of maple.

I like the Nativity set.  Just don't want my wife to see just yet.  She just might have me make one before Christmas.

Nice job on the boards Wayne.


Do you know what type of finish is on the rest of the chair? Supposedly you can tell if it's lacquer by a light sanding with very fine grit in an inconspicuous area and seeing if the dust is white. I'm not exactly sure on how this works or if you can tell for certain though. hopefully somebody with more film finish experience chimes in.

Wow, you guys have been busy. Great pictures and thank you for them.


All the cutting boards are just awesome. 


Beautiful repair job, Wayne.


That Nativity set is Beautiful, Fred. I know the clock will be, too. What are the holes in the slab thing for?
