pieces

Today I finished staining the various bits and pieces for Wiseman_2 and it's beginning to look ok. My problem now is varnish each piece before assembly, or, assemble the front and the back pieces and then varnish ?? Any thoughts ?? Don W

Well this is the first of my latest acquisition of wood to boost the pile. The wife came in two weeks ago telling me there is a notice up on a lamp post lest than 100feet around the corner stating that the road will be closed during the day for 2 weeks while trees are cut down. Anyway Monday...

I have been asked by my dear mum for a bowl she can give to a dear friend as a Christmas present. The friend is quite religious so I cleaned the inside so the finish did not give any problems when using the Pyrography machine. I am happy with the outcome just hope it is what is needed. I have...

If I want to make a box like this one, what would be the best and easiest way of making the shaped pieces top an bottom? I'm thinking of making cat trees when I get my workshop back :thinks:

Hi all, I've been given a few pieces of timber, and require help identifying some of them - if anyone can :thumbs: This first piece is very "orange" and extremely dense. Planes a treat though! The second piece is a proper reddish brown, planes nicely and is less dense. Lovely colouring as...

I ordered this blank for my mom, because she likes jigsaw puzzles. The resin is clear, so I need to paint the tubes and reverse paint the blank. But what color? I was thinking white, since if I use one of the puzzle pieces colors, it would tend to hide those pieces. But what about something like...

A little re-stock. These are not meant to be all the same in size but they do use some of the scrap pieces of wood up. Still need at least another 6 so that I have plenty of spares.

Raking through a cupboard I found these apprentice pieces I had to make. A lot of the work we did was complex & these pieces were to see how we handled complexity. They are made of oak & all the joints were tight with no movement but after 50 odd years the timber has pined so you can see the...

Well two actually. I know yet another wood brag. I was at a rally sitting between two big containers there is a pile of wood containing Walnut, Yew, Ash and Beech. unfortunately I only had room in my car for a couple of pieces so after a bit of asking around I found the owner of the pile turns...
