I have been joined in the shop by a new helper. Maddy has discovered the joys of creating things in wood. The spread of French bread cutting boards displays some of her work. She loves the idea of combining various colors of wood to create a new work of art. Maddy's board is the very colorful one in the center, she really likes those exotics. It's a lot of fun to have someone around the shop. She asks questions and most of them are very good for a new woodworker. Who knows she may get the chance to test out of a class next year. These boards measure 6" X 20" and are available for $20 each. No two of these are ever alike so the one you buy will be your work of art.
This project is another of the coop projects between myself and Steph. She threw the spearmint jar and I turned the lid. The lid is turned from black limba topped with ash and then polished to a high gloss.
These chalices are also cooperative. Steph turned and glazed these bowls in the same spearmint glaze as the tobacco jar. I then turned the bases. The base at far left is purple heart the lighter base is mahogany.
This oak humidor is another of my cases with dovetail joinery. I have given it an oil and varnish finish for a deep glossy look. The framed tile in the lid is a Raku tile created by Steph. I have framed it in cherry to set it off and add some interest. The case measures 9.5"X9.5"X6".
