Made this chest type box for a friend for his birthday. Made from red oak with black hardware, this thing was a pain in the butt to build and put together, so many screws broke lol. But I think the screw extraction was covered up pretty well by the hardware.
I got a cheap mini wood lathe at harbor freight over the weekend, with their liquidation sale and an extra 40% off clearance sticker price with my membership this thing was a steal! Upgraded it with a few parts from Woodcraft and made my very first lathe project! It’s a neat little wine bottle stopper made out of Zebrawood. I...
Thanks! It does still need a little sanding, I forgot to sand before I took it off the lathe lol. I’ll have to check out the oils you suggested. Thanks for the advice!
Thanks! It’s sanded down for the most part. I just need to do a final round or two of sanding. I forgot to sand before I took it off the lathe, so I’ve been having to do all the sanding by hand and since I didn’t have any oils yet I’ve been doing it slowly. But I should be able to get it worked on today
I received a beautiful piece of mahogany from a neighbor that I would like to turn into a small coffee table. I have most of my design plans figured out but I don’t know what these corners are called. I feel like I used to see them on tables everywhere but can’t find an online example. I even picked up this board from the...
So I have a rough idea of how I’m going to cut the corners I want, I mainly was looking for the type of name of the corner/edge so when I went to my local woodcrafting store it would be easier to ask what tools/bits I need. Or just explain to them what I’m doing, the guys that work there are older gentlemen that love to talk about tools and projects so they are always genuinely interested in what people are making.
Thanks for the advice though, I hadn’t originally thought of additional rails/fence, most of my router work has been “let me route this edge and make it look nice” or “I can recess the wire for this bird feeder with a rabbet” I’ve never thought about using it to cut off a big corner of wood before so I may have to try it out on some scrap wood and see how it goes.
Decided to try something new on a basswood oval I got on clearance. Tree burned by hand. Colors are Minwax water based color series wood stain, no paint was used. I’ve done gradients with paint on canvas before but never tried it on wood or with wood stain. I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. I haven’t...
Thanks! Yeah it is a bit weird when you think about it lol. I actually had a similar conversation with a friend of mine, his comment was something along the lines of I’m glad you’re a woodworker and not a mortician lmao
Thanks! I just did this piece for fun and experimenting. I do however run a very small woodworking shop and while I haven’t done something quite like this for open sale (mainly due to the amount of time it takes for this one small piece) It’s something I would consider doing in the future or taking commissions for. If you like my work and would like to see more of what I do you can check out my woodworking page on Instagram instagram.com/freyasforestforge
Thanks! The colors are all done with wood stain not paint. I did have some help from some of my LGBTQ friends when picking out colors and I had to go through a few different tests with the colors to get the right ones but I found them eventually.
