I made just one a while back for fun.  Gave it to a family friend and next I know I have a request for 4 more.  

I just give them away as gifts, as I enjoy making them and getting some extra time in the shop. Though after this run, I have created several templates and worked out a method to make them more efficiently should I get more requests.  The original plan was in a woodworking book I was given several years back.

They are made from 1x6 cedar deck boards from Lowes that I mill down to 1/2". My local hardwood supplier only sells aromatic cedar so Lowes or HD was my only other local choice.

Wow, what a nice piece.  So what is the origin story of wood (if it has one)?

Now, I am not a wood turner, but I certainly appreciate the craftsmanship involved.

Thanks. No story. Just a couple of pieces I had left over from making a few platters. Picked it up at a mill in a 6 foot length.

Here is a 2-day project made from an old wine barrel.  The back story, the Barrel was gifted to us by Scott Paul Winery in Oregon.  My wife and a friend went down for a wine weekend and picked it up.  Since then I have tried to figure out what to do with it as it was not in the greatest condition.

So I present to you, the outdoor, wine barrel, plant stand.  It's made by eyeball, no measures, levels, or squares.  Just rough sands / planes / screws / Glue.

I think my motivation was to clean out my scrap wood bins, lol.  But at the same time, it did turn out nice as a back porch project.

Wall mounted bottle openers. Both have keyhole slots on the back side for flush wall mounting and hidden rare earth magnets to catch bottle caps.

Curious, how do the magnets work?  Where are the caps captured?

On the one with the inlay, the magnet is hidden under the inlay. In the other one, I drilled a blind hole from the back then epoxied the magnet in place.

I love small projects that use up scrap. Bookmarks with cabochons turned from green dyed and stabilized maple burl and red dyed and stabilized spalted tamarind. These take, maybe, 10 minutes from start to finish.

A little wand making today. Handle is turned from green dyed and stabilized maple burl. The best thing is this hardware is set up so I can turn my own shafts and carbochons, too. With this one I used a poly shaft just to get a feel for the whole process.

I'll post a few of my late father's projects. Most in plywood.

This was mounted on the side of the house for Halloween. About 12 foot or so tall.



For Christmas.








Crappy pic, but Willie G has one of my dad's works in his collection.

Thanks!  He loved working with wood. When he wasn't working as a general contractor, he was riding his bike or making a new sign for someone.

I whipped up a vase from a piece of oak my wife found and doubled back for on the road. Must have fallen off of someone's fire wood haul.

Thanks.
Chunk of maple pith that I saved from the last bowl. Cut it into 2 pipe forms and immediately destroyed one. Lol!
Second one came out better. Still need to drill the stem hole and finish. Have on that I purchased this time. Coming in today. So far not bad for my second one.

@MrSig239

Now you need to make matching tampers.

I made a few a while back. The brass hardware is a brass 1/4-20 decorative knob from Rockler.

Where did you get the hardware,  pieces fore and aft of the burl?

Wand kit


The cool thing is you can buy just the hand hardware and turn your own shaft. With the one I made, I bought one of their shafts just to get a feel for how the kit worked. I've since bought some more hardware kits and I'll be turning my own shafts.

I'm hoping they expand their line too. I don't make a ton of wands but I do make a few.
