Some Cheese Boards made for x-mas gifts 2020.  They were cut from the branches, roots, or leftover parts of a Walnut tree i milled probably 3 years ago.  was fun cutting up the chunks.

Heres a Bamboo Chicken Coop.  The project was shaped by our quarantine and everything was built with what I had on property.  Was a challenge, and it may fall over in a few years, but it was fun.  The Bamboo was old and structurally questionable.  The roof is made of about 144 records we found on the road.  Dont get angry, they were scratched and unplayable when we found them.

Progress on the conference table. Hickory heart wood is the heaviest and toughest domestic wood I’ve ever worked with. It’s brutal.

This walnut tree was taken down in order to build the houses in th background. It’s hard to tell but there is some amazing figure in the grain. It was about 32” diameter and 9’ long. Milled with the ms880 Stihl Alaskan mill. Can’t wait to build something out of this one.
