Re: Chippendale Side Table

Lauchie,

I am inspired! Black walnut is one of my favorite woods, the eastern walnut has such great character. Your use of bookmatching and joinery reveal your talent and master of the craft!

Re: A Cherry Drop-front Desk

OK sorry missed the intro for some reason it didn't show up with your picture so I see the woods now! Birch is a great wood but not used quite as often as I think it could be, instead see more maple. Was Birch a common wood used in Shaker furniture? Your children may not realize it yet but you have been fortunate to have been able to create something for each one of them. No guarantees in life, these will be there when the grandchildren show up, then great grandchildren! Think of how beautiful the wood and finishes will have aged, Nice work!

Thx

What types of wood are you using here, can guess but it's a very pleasing combination. Love the grain on the inner doors! A wonderful variation on an older theme. I am curious what type of hinges did you use, can only see a hint.

Re: Take a peek inside my shop

Greg,

Nice..a diamond in the rough I would say! Just curious, are you a one man shop? What kind of woodworking do you spealize in and have you decided on what type of dust collection system you will use? I see hoses on some machines so if already in place forgive the question. Any ideas for flooring? Again, very nice and please keep us posted as you paint and add things.

Re: Furniture Maker's Shop Destroyed by Fire

Mark,

I have been fascinated with your work from the very first time I saw it. I don't know you personally unfortunatelly, but the very passion in each piece you create is so evident. Anyone reading your comments to Steve Scott would be enchanted at your spirit and it is obvious that you will spring back like a switch of Juniper !! Perhaps FWW can provide us with some pics as you go along in your new journey! God bless

Re: Tablesaw techniques I wouldn't recommend

Wow! there is something to be said about using very old equipment! I am mazed at some fine woodworkers who use old equipment with very fine results! However, there is something to be said about the talented folks that separate them from this bright fellow; any tool is only as useful as it's owner...
