This was made from sycamore, and red elm. I used the Festool domino for the loose tenons, so that may be cheating, but I wanted to be honest. I also used the "Fast joint" system for the box joints. I...

Sapele and Movingui End table

Another table I finally finished. This was my first project using the "Domino". Must say what a great tool. The Movingui is a book matched veneer I made and put on an mdf substrate. I also turned the...

  This is my second piece of furniture. I love the Greene and Greene style and thought trying something with the dark wood and light accents might be interesting. The center of the top is book...

Marquetry Box

Jul 31, 2009

This is my first try at marquetry. I decided to add it as an element to  a basic box that I have built many times from a design I have seen in several books. I give credit to the "Marquetry...

I am sure this isn't an unusual box, infact I think I saw something very similar on the Wood Whisperer. I made this a few years ago and one of the joints is starting to fail on the top but I was a...

Re: Help Us Help You Sell Furniture

This is a great thing you are planning. In advance, thank you so much. Here are some ideas off the top of my head.
1. Pricing your work.
So many people, including myself, are afraid to "over price" their work. These days, in this world market, most customers seem to be looking for bargains. This can make it hard for the individual wanting to "go pro" to know what is reasonable to charge for their hours of fine craftsmanship and skill.

2. Marketing yourself.
The way to go pro is to get your name out there. I am learning this rather slowly. What are good methods? Juried shows? Internet? Local events? Brick and mortar shop? Also,it is a big challenge to try to build a webpage with quality pictures, descriptions, et cetera. What are some of the better ways to get this done, or should I allocate funds to hire someone to build and possibly manage a site? Granted, it sound like this venue is for the purpose of marketing.

Thanks Again,
Shane Rogers

Re: Walnut End Table

Yea sorry about the pic, I took it with my phone and didn't notice it was so blurry until after I posted it. The first pieces are the cherry end tables I made. I think you can see them under my profile.

Re: My First Piece! My wife's pantry cabinet

Nicely done, both in the construction and the presentation to your wife. That always makes it easier when a new tool is UM "needed".

Re: Toothpick art may float your boat, but is it woodworking?

I would say it is woodworking if he made all 10k toothpicks himself. All kidding aside it is a very cool creation considering all that I am sure went into it.

Re: Walnut Hallway Table with Bookmatched Top

Looks great to me. I love book matched tops on tables. I hope to have the similar skills some day.
