Cause I ain't yo Challah-back girl.

...I'll see myself out.

Sapele finished with Rudy Osolnik's universal finish recipe.

Construction is doweled dados and finger joints. Hardware is all from Gerstner.

Gift for my Brother's birthday, sapele and blue suede, finished with Rudy Osolnik's recipe (16:1 mixwax tung oil and spar urethane)

My windows have this molding along the outside of the frame and it has rotted off on a few widows. I have access to a shaper and want to make a few new pieces to replace them, but I'm unsure how to know if a shaper bit will match the molding.

Is there a series of measurements I can take that would let me know that the size is right? I would take the molding to a store to compare it to the bit, but nowhere near me carries shaper bits and I'll have to get it online.

Anyway it's Sapele and Cherry finished with Tung oil.

Did a big clean out and maintenance cycle now that summer is fully upon us and I thought it would be a good time to post my happy place.

I got into woodworking about a year and a half ago. Building is aone side of what used to be an indoor archery range my family uses as a storage unit. (Table saw is out of place because I was cleaning it)

Challenge accepted.

Admittedly, routing out the slots for the t-channel got a bit squirrelly due to some.poor clamping decisions but otherwise I think it came out good for being made from mismatched plywood and 2nd hand casters.

Odie's creative colors

Shellac

Red oak sides

White oak everything else.

Very stately, pretty happy with it!

Sides are 6/4 red oak stained with odie's oil creative colors. Shelf, top and drawer are 3/4 quarter-sawn white oak. All finished with Shellac.

Box is mounted to the sides with threaded inserts in expansion washers

It's heavy AF for such a small project!

This opaque black on oak kinda hits NGL

Odie's everlasting oil and creative colors (black obviously)

I don't care for the diluted mixtures but a 2:2:1 ratio of pigment, solvent and everlasting oil makes a real nice saturated finish.

Works best on oak (like every stain)

All cedar, mostly fence pickets with a few thicker pieces for the frames.

Finished with zinnser sealer, milk paint and spar urethane. Can't really recommend milk paint unless you want a chippy/weathered look. It's a very coarse and finicky product, and it rubs through very easily at the corners.

Window boxes I made for my sister. She had to wait for about 4 months before I could go to Maryland and hang them for her.

All cedar with white milk paint under spar urethane. Can't say I love milk paint as a product. I don't like painting in general but milk paint is just more finicky than other products.

Finally...

Based on Foureyes Furniture "Desquire" plans.

First attempt at actual furniture.

Still need to clear it's final spot in my living room but it's done.

Mostly cherry with curly maple drawer fronts. Finished with odie's oil.

Drawers are baltic birch with Walnut dowels, finished with Tried and True Danish oil.

Happy with it, although when I built the cabinet cases I didn't know you should wrap the wood grain so it expands front to back. One of the miters has opened slightly (I made it last summer and had to put the project on hold for a while) so I may be replacing the box(es) sooner than later. But it was a learning experience.

Plans are the Foureyes Furniture "Desquire"

(cherry with odie's oil)

Bob Ross was right, there are happy accidents.

Filing boxes. Will be a matching set to a desk I'm making.

Black cherry and Curly maple. Finished with Odie's oil.

Boxes are birch ply with Walnut dowels and finished with tried and true varnish oil.

Storage component that will match a new desk I'm still working on. Body is black cherry and the fronts are curly maple. Finished with odie's oil.

Drawers are 1/2 inch birch ply with Walnut dowels, finished with tried and true varnish oil.

Hopefully will have the desk finished soon too.
