VPI Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Decided all birds eye maple for the drawer fronts was going to bore me so I am going to do some accents with a glue-up of leopard wood incorporated into some or all of the drawers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would swear that I posted this the other day, but who knows anymore. It is called Transparent Ipe for hardwoods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Would prefer it in Walnut, but the shitty maple will have to do. Also tried, and fucked up some dog bone (bow ties) for the rainbow poplar shoe display go the closet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPI Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Looks similar in the pics I can find. I have an entire shop full of hard wood, and all of it is too fucking fancy for the dog food bowl stand I wanted to make this weekend. At least I got the legs and stretchers milled from some boring Walnut and Madrone sticks. Going to do custom dog bone through tenons on the legs, if I ever find any sticks to make the top with.

swt61 Posted May 27 Author Report Share Posted May 27 It could a South American hardwood of some type. It's really hard to tell. Nice curly figure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if it is Koa, but does not match my Jatoba so not sure what else it could be. I keep it in the stack of the Wenge and Teak for my retirement plan.

Emooze Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 Been working on a box of sorts I guess. Unsure if my dad needs a box but he sure is gonna get one. Still need to do some sanding, cut the lid down to size and put finish on, this is just after the glue dried on the joints. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it feels exceptionally heavy and dense, then maybe granadillo or cocobolo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emooze Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Simple miter joints. Took a bit to set up on the table saw just right but glad I did. All the corners are 90 degrees. Going to cut splines in next weekend for strength. Trying to decide if I want 2 or 3 on each corner. Will be using more walnut to match the inlay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 Mix of wood and metal in the shop for the next week as I work to build a command gift for my boss. Turnover is this week into next with the Change of Command officially next Tuesday. I copied the ammodor concept since you cannot simply order one and have it delivered reliably and I guess because I can. So far it's coming out alright, more difficult to do what I want to than expected. Today's lesson - CNC's let you fuck stuff up with precision. Most mistakes have been recoverable, but time consuming. Only thing photo worthy so far is the custom panel for the inside of the top cover which houses the hygrometer and humidity packs. The box that goes in the box is glued up and curing. The tray that will nest into the box-in-the-box is also glued up as of 20 minutes ago. The bottom panel for each will get a laser-engraved logo, hopefully tomorrow night. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
