  1. Just a few bowls for the parent-type's 65th anniversary get together. A bread bowl from teak with a walnut foot. Then two same but different candy dishes. Both teak and mesquite. Just a little shuffling of rings to put the accents in different locations. Was hoping for a bit more color contrast but not too bad as is. Thanx for looking.
  2. Most recent foray into open segment / open rings on the Ringmaster. This one is mesquite and charred white oak. (Nothing to do with certain farm implement makers or devices to plant barrels.) Not as much color contrast as I had hoped but wife person says it can be used to hold stuff in the automotive device. And a pic of the original blank for those who might want to know how it's done. Thanx for looking.
  3. Just getting started on the late fall craft show inventory. Found some interesting designs online and decided to try them out. Will get to making better versions of these when I can utilize specifically cut wood selections rather than just what's in the 'remains' piles. The usual culprits - walnut, maple, mesquite, alder and white oak. The white oak was recovered from a JD barrel planter that was retired and replaced. 'Bout time I actually posted something rather than just click on an emoji or make a smart - @&% remark!
  4. ..I'm not supposed to be playing with sharp objects. For some strange reason I decided to get a jump on the late year craft shows. I don't recall seeing any of these on other vendor tables so... The dark blades are mesquite and the light color are hickory. The handles are walnut, mesquite, alder, maple and hickory. Finished with mineral oil and beeswax. Now, on to some more bowls!
  5. From this... To this. Using these plus a lot of elbow grease. It measures 26"X26" .got about 10 hours in it. (not Inc. naps) Next step is a seal coat of polyurethane. Then more sanding. Followed by a resin pour of black in that routed area. Had to rout out some punky stuff. Just one of the joys of working with raw mesquite slabs. Then finally, a brushed on coat of clear resin. Since these three slabs (rounds) were cut sequentially from the same log, I can look forward to more of the same. But, I've identified some grinding accessories to speed up the process. These will be the tops for the Limbert tables. Here's a pic of it as a WIP.

  8. Yesterday, Friday, we picked up around 70 BF of mesquite, a few BF of pistachio and several 5” bowl blanks of differing species to haul to IL on 11/6. Will bring back a load off walnut, cherry and maple. My back is sore. Now, relaxing in the beautiful sun in Tucson. Gonna get to 85 glorious degrees, today. Monday, we head back to the mesa, where it'll be 67°. Not bad....yet.

  12. Hey Cal, as promised. First PIPs. More after the slab gets cut and planed. And after Phyl gets back with the camera. That slab is 2" thick, about 16' wide and I'll cut it to yield a 48" long table top. The finished width will depend on the width of the glass "river".
  13. For a lid for the latest rifle case, mesquite was selected. Love that stuff but, it can be challenging. All my mesquite of the required length and width is milled at a full 8/4. Nice for tables and such but not for box lids. So, it was resaw time. My Shopsmith band saw is limited to 6" of resaw capacity and the lid needs to be 6.75" ( I ripped it to 7.5") so, I used the table saw and got most of it cut. Had about 1.5" left in the middle. No problem. It's only 48" long. Whipped out the Disston and went to work. At about the sawblade's depth, internal stresses grabbed it and everything stopped. Finally got it freed and tried a Ryoba 9 tpi. 4 or 5 strokes and it got stuck. Took two wedges and a mallet ( No, not any of those, Lew) to get it loose. Time to skin the cat. After 4 cups of coffee...Coffee makes pondering easier...I concluded a trip to town was in order. Came home with a Skil recip saw and a 10" blade. In five minutes the job was done. That saw brooks no nonsense. And, now reasonably wide resaws are no longer a problem. And, Gene's got another new tool. A real cat skinner.
  14. Phyl just brought me the latest issue of Woodcraft. She wants me to build the River Table featured on the front page. She wants mesquite. It'll be for one of our sons....not the one who got the Morris chairs. So, not having slabs that configuration, I found a place about 190 miles south that was recommended by a few friends over on Lumberjocks. He'll custom cut for me and his prices are 1/3 of what the mesquite cost for the rifle box. Finding a good source of my favorite wood has made my year. Gonna pour me a glass of mesquite smoked Del Bac to celebrate.
