Jester Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) Okay, folks! This is the thread for showing off other things you've made from wood. Turnings, furniture, marquetry, carvings etc. etc. Anything goes. I'll start by showing some of the christmas presents I made. For my little brother I made this quattro game: Dark ones are mahogany and the light ones are birch. The board is oak with mahogany inserts. I also inlayed little magnets under the pads and little screws on the knobs so they stay put. Another shot For my mom I turned a few of these candle holders (the other one is maple). Today I got a little bored at school and turned this "bowl" (not deep enough to really call it a bowl). My first try at a natural edged bowl. Another shot Share share share, people! It's nice to do something non-guitar related once in a while. Edited January 9, 2007 by Jester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biliousfrog Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I discovered quattro on the new MSN messenger recently, not heard of it before, it's a good game. Nice work...that candle stick is nice, the bowl...hmm... .....it really hurts my eyes & head I can't really make it out in that photo because of all the pattern but it looks like some nice wood.

unclej Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 nice work indeed. it's easier to go to my website to see all that i make out of wood than it would be for me to tell you. by the way, none of the items there are still available and i'm in the process of changing the entire site to an advertising type site instead of a point of purchase site. i just flat out don't have time to maintain and update it...anyway, the whole point of that was to assure everyone that this isn't spam....just responding to the question of what i make out of wood. uncle johnnys woodshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid wood. the playing field is 7/16 " thick the apron is 3/4" thick with a rabbit to set the board flush with the apron top. MK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToneMonkey Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Since I live in an old house, I'm constantly doing things to that. I've not really built anything recently but so far I have to build a little post box type of thing for the cards at the wedding. I'd also like to build a very nice little vaneered box for a present for my nearly wifey to keep all the loose wedding photos in, unfortunetly I've just blown up her car so I don't think I'll have the money to do it now (I'd also have to try and do it in secret which is difficult in such a small house) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biliousfrog Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I've nearly completed a new 6ft x 2ft vivarium for our tortoise complete with insulated walls, fresh-air venting & fully controlled day/night heating & lighting. I've just got to paint a jungle scene on the walls & it'll be ready for when she wakes up I just hope she prefers it to her old one which my girlfriend covered in dinosaur wallpaper. It's not a completely selfless act, the new size, insulation & ventilation means that I can now create a workspace around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
