Inscribed Cypress Vessel
Unfinished cypress bowl on a cedar foot, inscribed with pyrography: a flying fished, sacred numbers, doors and windows. I like how the line work is similar to engraving.
Dovetail Jig (in 4/4 time)
There was a question about the jig I used to make the “dovetails” in my last post, so here it is.

Big Bear of a Locust Log
We cut this big dead Honey-Locust (Gleditsia triancanthos) at Boaz last fall. I cut him in half out there free-hand, which took nearly 3 hours, then hauled him home. After some flattening I cut the halves into 3.5″ slabs. I still had to use the tractor to move them.

Butcher Block Legs In Fir With Red Oak
Black Walnut: Stock Preparation
Wide Black-Walnut stickered and acclimating since September
Flattening with a router and jig
Cutting to over-length (with a badly neglected Diston. I sharpened and set the teeth and she cuts quick and true, though in need of a polish and new handle).
Acclimating once again and awaiting final dimensioning.
