I’ve had a piece of Bradford pear, about 38 inches long, that I picked up on a neighborhood walk about a year ago, and I started carving it last weekend. It has a nice looking bark and the wood carves and holds detail well, being a slightly hard piece of wood. I like the crooked shapes of the limbs and the branches jutting out give some extra wood for carvings with more dimensions. I have wanted to carve a lizard for awhile. I like all the colors and details, and they are much short...

Well the thing I love about wood
especially an orphan piece like this one
Is that it can only get better, I hope :)
It looks huge and if it were not for the flaws
It would make a big bench
Ok, it aint going to be a 6’ bench
If I could only use the full piece
I like the idea of one side being rustic
The rot on the right hand corner means that
I’m going to have to get a much narrower tha
the 18” that I hoped for
Well I did not s...

I woke up this morning to the sound of the birds singing outside. There seems to be a family that decided to build a nest in the tall evergreen tree near the bottom of our steps right off the deck. The cats like that, as there is plenty of activity to entertain them from their window to the world.
After pouring my first cup of coffee, I looked outside to see why there was so much activity. There was more than normal, even for the birds and the cats were quite interested in what was goi...

This is my first blog, so be gentle. My nephew is graduating high school in a few weeks and I got inspired to make him a present instead of giving money or buying something cheesy. :-)
My inspiration came from a desk I used while staying overnight at a hotel. Below is a pic of the table with my laptop sitting on it. It is approx 22×36 inches with straight legs that have the corners chamfered at 45 deg.
After taking a closer look, I thought to myself…I can make that.Here i...

Hello.
Its been 6 months since I finished my bench and I have spent over 1000 hours on it. Now that I have gotten a good feel for how the bench works and its ups and downs I thought I would write an update on it.
To start I’ll mention the modifications I made. The first was to add leather to the pads on the hold fasts. With leather I no longer need to place scrap wood between the work pieces and the hold fasts to prevent denting. If you have hold fasts (which you should) I would r...
