Hi Everyone

Here are a couple of projects I've been working on.

The first one is a Custom Stand for a Randall 3.0 beer flavor inducer..A couple of years ago I did the tower and tap handles for the Rabid Otter Brewery and the owner added the Randell 3.0 Flavor Inducer but needed a custom stand made to match the tower and taps. I also had to make a larger version of the logo and another tap handle.

So here it is-- made from solid mahogany with the Intarsia logo(60 pieces from 10 woods).Also a photo of the original Taps and tower.Fun Stuff!!!

      

 

The second project is a large Custom Knife Block.

Made from Zebrawood  with Cherry slot face.

Measures 15" L x 9" W x 11" tall and weighs 19 lbs .

All of the Zebrawood sections are bookmatched.

I used a #5 skip tooth blade to cut the slots into the 3/4" cherry face.

The interior sections that make up the thru slots are made of cherry.

Finished with 5 coats of wipe-on satin poly

Challenging project

    

 

 

 

Mike - looking good

Both are gorgeous, Mike!!

 

Wish I could saw that perfectly with a scroll saw!!!

WOW!!! Really good looking.

OK, I'll bite! How did you get those knife slots in that single block of wood?

Thanks everyone for the comments.

To Courtland-The block is made up of 33 different pieces of wood precisely fit together.

The cherry slot face is 3/4" thick and the interior sections are routed and fit  to align with the slots.

Here is a photo of the back of the block showing the different pieces .

 

Mike as always, your work is superb. 

Great work Mike!  I do believe you need a taste tester for the first project.  I volunteer!

Nice work.  Saw your post on the NC woodworker too.

Great work as always Mike.
