Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

[Redmt]

I made this sign for a buddy that was admiring my sign at our gate. I've been experimenting with mill cut crotchwood from our burned oak trees. The lettering is freehand router cut.

A couple deer treehouse furniture grade chairs made from scrap. Had to turn my air up to 120PSI to drive those nails through some of those oak 2X4's. lol

Keeping true to everything I built in 2022 and 2024 was built from my sawmill lumber I personally sawed.

Guitar build 2.0. After the telecaster builds i decided to try something a little harder that had arm and belly reliefs. Strats! Started with cutting down the trees on my property of course. This time I used full 2" slabs. The natural finish one is about the nicest 1 piece body you're gonna get in Black Ash. Lots of planing, band saw, and a ton of router work followed by endless sanding. The burgundy one was dyed with Keda powder dyes and black dyed grain filler. Both finished with 25 years old 2 part auto clear. I saw birds falling out of the sky from the toxic fumes as they flew over... I sprayed outside for my safety. Flame maple necks were ordered as blanks. One is roasted as you can see and I changed the fretboard radius and I installed stainless frets in that one. After feeling the difference between the 2 the natural one is going to get redone and radius changed. Water slide decals under the finish. They are as smooth as glass but all the reflection makes it look otherwise. I still need to put the back plate on the natural one

You are an artist.

My supply of black walnut I've been moving all over for the last 20 years has dwindled down to one last project. Haven't decided if I'll build a tray to hold the chess pieces in the storage area. Christmas present for the missus.

I would be glad to replenish your black walnut. How much do you want?

I wish you were closer.

I picked up a really nice looking oak tree. The previous owner didn't tell me it was used as a target.

How are your blades holding up?

Thankfully the jacketed lead doesn't seem to hurt them.

A couple matching clocks for a neighbor. It's oak crotchwood from one of their trees killed in the SCU fire. She is giving one each to her 2 sons. The lettering is freehand router work.

A couple of apple wood spoons, dripping wet for (de)whiskering.

Finished this blue bill for a friend who will attach his dog's tag to the bottom.

Just finished this miniature decoy which is modeled after a friends watercolor that he did years ago.

The decoy at around 2.5"

As the size of my scrap wood pile dwindles, so does the size of my projects. I can't take credit for the idea. Both blocks are sized to .30-30. Lid held by magnets. Thanks to this project I now have a set of metric drill bits....

I took a stab at making an urn at the request of a buddy’s wife after his dog recently passed. I incorporated stones she collected from the Smith River where he used to work. Might incorporate some feathers from a future hunt into a similar box for myself.

Homemade grips from walnut for my BFR in 500 JRH.

I use a lot of my walnut cutoffs to make loading blocks of varying sizes for my own use and as gifts to friends.

Had a few big logs that needed to be cut up. ~160 2x4's.

I'm jealous of your logs. All I have is white pine and it can twist pretty badly.
