Slab Tables

By harvesting a fallen maple tree, I could have lumber cut into my ideal thickness. These slabs were part of forward thinking and, as planned, they became reality after some lengthy deliberation about leg construction. The black walnut dowels added for strength and eye appeal. After discussing the bark idea with a couple sources, I attached the bark with two part epoxy. This added another level of eye appeal.

These are all sold, but I am available for commissions. 

Sandbox Toy

While visiting a friend, he asked if I could fix a toy he had. Always one for a challenge, I accepted. After fixing his toy I made improvements in strength of parts that were broken and also in mimicking looks of the real toy. My modifications seem to work well.

Ornaments

At the beginning of 2014, I walked past a display of Christmas ornaments in a big box store.  I thought why not try those.  The pieces are made of black walnut and soft maple, quite similar in style, and finished well.

Custom Chair

Recently I made a trade for an old band saw.  I took it apart and cleaned it.  The trade has opened up lots of possibilities.  This chair is the second chair I have made.  I believe it may be the best piece I have ever made to this point.  It is all black walnut; dowels are also black walnut for strength and aesthetics.
