couch-height side table. The board was milled from a black walnut slab off a tree that came down on my parents' property a couple years ago. When I was milling the boards I found a couple that sort of looked like a Buffalo face when they were book-matched. Joined the boards and finished with lacquer. The table stand is steel that I welded up and finished with matte black paint.

Table I made from a sycamore tree cut up by Jeff Larsen, Bill Lindsey and me last fall. Very nice rays/grain. Simple construction with metal corner brackets and table clips from Rockler, both saves construction time, and makes for easy breakdown for transport. I added a couple of decorative grooves on the lower part of the apron. Finished with water borne urethane.

Trio of items I made from a customer's African Blackwood, a variety of rosewood, among the hardest woods in the world. Challenging to turn, but polishes beautifully. Mainly black, but with nice brown highlights, and a couple of light patches of sapwood. A 9 plate, 9x3 bowl, and 5 1/2 vase, sanded to 2000 grit, and finished with tung oil and wax.

A large mahogany platter, 15x1 3/4, and finished with tung oil. Terrible to turn this because it is end grain. I was a bit surprised it did not just blow apart while turning. Lots of tear out required lots of coarse sanding, but it eventually came out. Not my choice of wood, but again a client insisted on this piece.
This mahogany table top is from and for the same client. Pre-cut, I only had to fill, flatten, sand and finish with urethane. I like the big eyes; looks like ET!
Osage Orange vase, finished with tung oil. 6x3
This bowl is mostly from recovered Douglas Fir, and the stripes are mahogany. The finish is poly and wax.

I made a couple of scroll saw baskets. Larger one is poplar with cherry slats, unfinished about 17x11. The smaller is maple with cherry slats finished with slightly amber shellac ~ 7.5x11.5.
This is a Steve Goode Pattern.

Here is a flag case that I made recently. It is made from African Mahogany and finished with several coats of Arm-R-Seal gloss. I buffed the final coat with burlap to reduce the sheen to be closer to semi-gloss.

This is a project I put together to help my wife during scout tours at the Wolf Sanctuary we volunteer at. It's made out of Luan and it cut with inter-locking tabs for ease of putting together and breaking down. Tabs on the back slide and lock, the tabs on the top are more of a locator. The purpose of this screen shade is to keep glare off the screen during the presentation. My wife is the tour guide for Cub Scouts; Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts earning a new badge. I stained the inside with Black Walnut and painted the outside with a dark Green. These are the colors that are spotted are the Sanctuary.
