Wow some really great stuff.  That bowl must have taken a really long time to make.


Lakehouse that cottage looks great.


MM- that is some inspiration for me, I think I might be able to build something like that and maybe sell it for $300 lol

Recently a family came out to look for a mantle.  I had a couple sawn but they wanted something I did not have.  They wanted it rustic and gave me rough dimensions.  I sawed it soon after they left and the husband/dad came back a few days later.  I cut a little more off to meet his criteria and then had to attempt to cut it squarely to length with a chainsaw.  Yesterday, his wife sent me a thank you text and pictures of the mantle in place.

  

 
The included bark was centered and became a focal point for this mantle.

I believe that the one board I handled at the Project is in that table.  I could be wrong.  :D  Very nice table and pretty wood.  Fine craftsmanship.

Kyle, that mantle looks just about perfect on that wall.  Danny, you did that table proud!

Thanks Nomad and Danny.
Danny, the table is really nice.  I bet the quarter sawn boards are really spectacular when the light hits them just right.

That's a heck of a tongue twister. How much quarter sawn sycamore could customsawyer saw, if customsawyer could saw quarter sawn sycamore?

The project is the goss lake stair renovation I couldn't separate it from his website not trying to promote his business just wanted to show the Madrone stairs. hope this is ok.   http://www.oblqstudio.com/goss-lake-gallery/4hagiqlukv2o7zwwq599w76f4qi4s3 check out this link and these are some pics of the Madrone we had to quarter up to fit the B-20.
Wished I had the Hudson 60 back then. So several years
back I custom milled what I call rare Madrone because of the size of tree, it was 5-6' diameter

  

  

 
I sure like the iron work and how they made a suspended stairway.

A customer came by and picked up some wood today and brought a cutting board that he'd made out of some of my walnut and maple.


 
He's got more patience than I do  :D

Milled for a client in July, mostly poplar, some oak, cedar and walnut. He mentioned that he would be using the wood to build a rustic cabin in the woods with his two youngest sons. He invited me back to an open house today to see the finished cabin. Very cool!

That is a lot accomplished since July, but that cozy cabin will be a cold cabin this winter.   :o

It's only a couple hundred yards from home. Out of sight in the woods. More of a place to get away for a few hours, or to entertain company. There's a brick barbeque, a firepit and some benches out front.

I did ask him twice what the rent would be...... I'm overdue for a change of scenery.

Makes a change from framing, flooring, and kitchens for sure

WOW...those are some super nice photos of some real fine examples.   It is an understatement of how creative folks are and especially when you have a hand in it. I will try to put these in some kind of order seein as I am new to this pic/post thing.

A simple way to do the bottom is with a jam chuck. With a piece of wood mounted in a chuck or screwed to a face plate, it is turned in the shape of a dome that resembles the interior of the bowl. Put the bowl against this dome with fabric in between and tighten the tail stock to hold it. Turn the bottom and hand sand the little nub to finish it.

There's a few ways to get the bottom tuned up:
Finish the top and use a vacuum chuck to hold it so you can finish the base.
Finish the top and use a live center on the back to tune it till it gets really small and finish the teat that's left over, by hand.
Finish the top and use a jam chuck to grab the top to finish the base.
Finish top and use a wide flange chuck plate with tabs to grab the edge of the top and turn the base.
These are methods I have used or seen, there are surely more ways to skin this cat.
