Re: Bench Seat

I like the top very much. Its always the mistakes that turn out great. I design like that too! Never thought of painting parts like that, but I also like it. Great job

Re: Ruthie's Box

Nicely done. I did a similiar experiment for lid of jewelry box for my mother. I used one inch blocks glued together with end grain on top, like the maple butcher blocks etc. The only problem I had was finish. Diff types of finishes seemed to dull the end grain or I should say blur it. I ended up experimenting and used plain polyurethane for the best, but its also wood specific Im sure. The teak looks good!

Re: A Dedicated Sharpening Bench - final -

I really like this table. I have recently started using more hand tools and can appreciate a sharp tool vs a dull dud! I need to build a sharpening area too. It will not be as nice as this one, but great ideas. I think I will use that leg idea in my future work if thats ok. Looks great! Thanks again.
