So I'm pitching the owner of a new small winery about why he might want to go with us. One of my ideas is to take trimmings from his vineyard and turn them into serving trays, see pics attached. My guys are used to working in wood that requires a forklift -and this is a little different. Rob

I am curious to see where your creativity is going this time.  Looking forward to seeing a completed prototype.

I posted this to see who might be curious. I will make progress posts on the tray development as well as the other interior millwork . For today we staged the woods going into the kiln prior to fabrication.Got to make sure that I have all the parts and pieces ready for fall delivery. Cheers  Rob

So the vines are getting dryer and we re-wrapped them today for additional compression. Meanwhile the guys in the shop keep working on more tables and I'm building some teak countertops for the wife's new kitchen A few pics of the sink setup today. Major thinking on subsetting the sink edge perfectly flat with the wood countertop. Certainly a challenge... Glue up first thing tomorrow morning.My wife has been away for a very long time dealing with a family issue and I hope she is  surprised when she gets home next week. Cheers  Rob

"dealing with a family issue" sounds mentally taxing, so hopefully this nice surprise brings some relief.  It's always nice to see your work!!!

Well, based on what I've seen, you take those curve balls and knock em out of the park

I spent the day cleaning up the sink. I used Gorilla glue to set the sink because it adheres well to sanded metal. But it also foams up and makes a big mess . So my solution was to set the sink about 50 thousands below the wood surface then carefully flat sand the glue overflow. Next I dragged a thin hacksaw blade between the sink and the wood creating a kerf about 1/16 inch deep . Took several hours to clean out the Gorilla . So now I have a perfect outline of the metal to wood which I then filled with epoxy. There is a slight amount of epoxy overlay and a lot soaked into the end grain causing the little bit of shadow. Now here is the trick -there is an oiled sample  board in one of the pics showing the eventual color of the top next to the thin epoxy soaked transition (the kerf ). Tomorrow I sand and blend the wood to the steel seamlessly and later the final finish colorwise will  blend right into the transition .  Cheers Rob
