Just finished hand carving a wooden sign for my work shop. NOKES WOODWORKS.
The sign is basswood. I used swiss made carving tools and a helive brand knife.
I first laid the letters on the wood using 3 inch letters.
Then lets the chips fly. All hand carved.
Made this cherry shelf with drawer for the kitchen, needed some extra storage. Made my own cherry dowels for assemble. Using a dowling tool and die from lee valley.
Made two more salt cellars, the light colored one Holly and the the darker one is Mulberry. Used brass rod as the rotating pin and small 1/4 inch rare earth magnets to hold it closed.
Just finish a little turning project.
It is called a salt cellar. The top rotates on a brass pin. You can open the top by sliding it in either direction.
It was finished using watco butcher block finish .... food safe.
We will use it to store salt, just a pinch will do.
Here is the first shaping of my duck decoy.
I am using a pattern and instruction from Vic Kirkman
Here is a picture of my new tupelo knife used for carving duck decoys
It is from knotts knives.
Cant wait to try it out.
Just got a new 14" Bandsaw from woodcraft.
Have not really had a chance to use it yet.
Set up was easy.
The only down side is the slot in the table is in the front. Now that I have added a Kreg fence, it will be a pain to change blades.
Other than that, so far I think this going to be a great saw.
