Making another of the three-drawer Jewelry chests. This one of Figured Red Gum and Leopardwood. I tried getting a good photo of the figure with some alcohol on the wood. No worries, I’m sure the figure will show nicely once I start varnishing the case. . . #woodwork #woodworking #handmade #jewelrybox #jewelrychest #wip #finewoodworking #leopardwood #figuredwood #redgum (at Silver Spring, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpsQd2HAKg4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qxtn4ngkmwjq

Fixed drop-point knife with a segmented handle, based on the tail feather pattern of a red-tailed hawk. Didn't get the reds as bright as I wanted, but the pattern still works.⁣ ⁣ Leopardwood, mesquite, and bigleaf maple.⁣ ⁣ Built almost this whole thing live on my new Twitch channel. You can catch the VODs at twitch.tv/splintersmith!⁣ ⁣ Also: the Etsy store is back! I needed a break so I put it into Vacation mode for a month or so, but I am now back to accepting commissions!⁣ ⁣ ▪▪▪⁣ ⁣ Thanks for checking out The Splintersmith!

First coat of varnish on the tops of the three Jewelry Chests. First chance to get a sense of the figure of the Red Gum for the first one. And can really see the difference in the two boards of Bloodwood I used for the two Art Deco chests. And Bloodwood loves the Epifanes varnish. . . #woodworking #finewoodworking #woodwork #wood #finish #varnish #epifanes #handmade #workinprocess #wip #wiping #pretty #redgum #leopardwood #bloodwood #jewelrybox #jewelrychest #craftsatthecathedral #red #doubledovetail #dovetails #madeinmaryland #figured #figuredwood (at Silver Spring, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNglBwg_oV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=puhy8qam8cq3

Sorry to have been away for a bit. Right after the Philly show, had to get caught up on household maintenance. Also experimenting on with a new work flow: at the end of the month I have my NYC show. Instead of doing all the builds sequentially, working a lot more parallel. The first step was breaking down and dimensioning all the lumber I’ll need for what I’ve planned. And that is fairly photogenically boring. But pieces are starting to come together. First off is a fresh batch of Jewelry Boxes. Always fun after a visit to @exoticlumber. I always pay particular attention to the cut locations so I get have the patterns wrap around the sides. . . #woodwork #woodporn #woodworking #boxes #jewelrybox #wip #dovetail #joinery #spalted #tamarind #spaltedtamarind #boxelder #leopardwood #jatoba (at Montgomery County, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BprsUY9AfmM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6oueg63bdafy

This year’s Christmas gift of boxes. Leopard wood, ebony, and holly. Shellac and wax and ready for display. The contrast creates a nice decorative element. #christmas #boxes #leopardwood #ebony #holly #inlay #decorating #display (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXX8m7jaMs/?igshid=15y4zifzr219e

A small side table made with a black steel base and a custom made top. The top is a two piece book match of Leopardwood and the frame around it, is Thai Rosewood. I really like the result. #lukadesignworks #customfurniture #solidhardwood #exotichardwood #leopardwood #thairosewood #rosewood #woodworking #table #bookmatch (at Playa Vista | Private Location) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrkatG0HGcP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=edgvipg3pmhi
