BillyB got a pecan (smiley_devil) slab from me and made this beautiful waterfall bench.  I love it.  Billy, that is a very fine piece.  I really like the continuous live edge and how the grain flows in the piece.

Pecan lumber is warm and beautiful with an attitude.  That bench is very pleasing.

You really need to spend a few minutes looking at it to understand what is going on with that fine looking bench.

That is an attractive bench.  Do you know Billy made the joints?

Maybe he will wade in and describe how he made the joint.  I believe that he used splines.

Thanks Danny. The joints are multi-spline blind mitre. I saw that slab at Danny's and knew right away it was going to be a waterfall bench.

I don't think any wood looks cooler than in waterfall legs!

You should see his last two projects.  Maybe he will post some pics.  Come on, billy, show them the curly maple table and the walnut waterfall bookcase.  They deserve to be seen.

I've loaded to photos to my gallery, and will try to attach them to this post.
No luck. Here's the URL

Here is the curly maple entryway table.  This is curly maple that Customsawyer and I sawed.  I believe that the joinery is all sliding dovetails.



 

Here is the walnut waterfall bookcase.  I have never thought about doing a waterfall style with the continuous grain, but I love it. The top and bottom all have the flowing waterfall design.

Beautiful pieces.  I also see that distinctive purple demarcation line between the heartwood/sapwood on the Walnut.  It worked quite well on that bookcase.  Good job!

Per the orders of WDH! Below are images of a solid Oak Credenza. A lot of fun making this piece.

Thanks. I had a completely different job. I have a couple more things to establish on the farm and then I will hit the market. I have to build a dry kiln chamber and need to build an additional building. I just finished my dry shed a couple weeks ago.

Beautiful!  Love that sycamore  smiley_clapping

This is the curly cherry babydoll cradle Danny was referring too. The dovetails were handcut at an angle. Another fun piece. By the way, I just spent 2 hours reading YellowHammer's 40' shipping container build. I have a lot of work ahead of me!

Turned profession a couple months ago. I'm still building up the establishment before I launch a webpage.

Been making a living at it for most of my life, my own company for 26 years. I think you will do just fine. Don't be afraid to charge, and do the best work you can, and the customers will come.

I have not advertised in 25 years.......

Thank you for sharing some of your creations with us BillyB.  Danny, you and Jake find some pretty wood inside some of those logs.

Here is a very cool development on the pecan waterfall bench.  Billy donated it to the Jimmy Carter Center in Plains GA for an auction to benefit the Center.  A President of the United States signed a piece of my wood and Billy's pecan waterfall bench.  Now, how cool is that?



 

Here is Billy with President Carter.



 

Way to go, Billy  8).

Super cool.  I have always had a lot of respect for President Carter.  My dad used to work for him when he was the governor of Georgia.

I have always had a lot of respect for President Carter, too. He landed as president in a very bad time with the economy in the commode and the hostages in Iran. There wasn't a lot he could do but his heart was in the right place. And I could never understand why people would ridicule him for turning down the heat at the White House and putting on a sweater to set an example. The American public has disappointed me at times in my life.
You and Billy should be very proud.

Beautiful bench, it should bring a lot of peanuts at auction.

Both of you have done good to be involved in all that. It is good to give. Good job!!!!!
