I did not meet my goal to build something every month of 2013, but I do have a few projects waiting.  I did do some shadows and candy canes this month and this will be it for this year.   Here are the pic's of the shadows.  Everyone have a great 2014 New Year.

All:

The Chipmunks 

 Weasel

 Owl

 Rabbit

Here is the Pencil holder built with maple mentioned earlier.  I enjoyed doing this project.  It started with green logs, to sliced boards, air dried, then planed & glued up.  Here is pictures of the front and back and the third picture is with a piece of the maple to show what this looked like prior to clear coating.

Sept 2nd, Labor Day Quick project.

Hope all are having a great day. My son seen a picture of toaster tongs and wanted one, So used some scrap maple to make these 2 tongs and wiped with mineral oil.

What happened in August, no projects? :) HA

Just not completed any projects, but I purchased Local White/Red Oak and Red Cedar, given a couple of oak logs and picked up some Maple from a friend who lost some trees. The oak and maple got cut up into boards and dried (7%). Here are a few pictures:

Maple Log - around 6 total

Maple cut up and drying

The 3 above have been planed and soon to be glued up and made into a pencil holder. 

The 2 pictures are of a 14 inch piece of the oak logs below.

These two oak logs are waiting to be cut into Board

July Project

  Battery operated clock.  This is my first clock, but not my last. Built with red oak and maple.

Go Hogs :)

May / June Project

Here is my son's new wall desk start to finish.  I got the idea from the WoodSmith Magazine vol 34 no 201. This desk is smaller due to space. This desk is 32" instead of 51".
This project I learned about rabbet joinery and is the best drawers I have put together.
Enjoy and have a great year.  Psalm 188:24

Sushi set.
Built with Oak & Walnut from my scrap pile. :)

Isn't Walnut Pretty

My 1st Mallet, built with Oak & Cherry. Rubbed with Linseed Oil.

Grabbed some scrap oak board today and re-sawed it into 1/4 inch pieces and made coasters, not fancy coaster, but based on some recommendations on wood forums I left the wood grain view-able. I protected the wood with linseed oil. This is the first for linseed oil, I like it, just rub it in. I love the look of natural wood.   Oh what fun I had playing in my own little world today.  :)

Here is one of my February projects, Lamp for the table.  Very easy to build, i used local redwood and some scrap oak laying around the shop.

Jan 2013

Starting 2013 out busy in the shop - finished 3 pencil holders, cutting board and an end table.  All of these are made out of scraps.
