We’ve had another amazing run of wonderful photos sent in over the past month, featuring a wide variety of pieces. Please take a look!
Nightstand by Joshua Oakes
The first of two nightstands for the bedroom. The frame is made from cherry and finished with a few coats of shellac. The top is made from walnut and finished with danish oil. By far, the most complex piece I’ve attempted to date since I started learning online from Mr. Sellers in late 2020. It took me about 2 months to complete, working evenings after work and weekends when I could. All of the techniques I used were learnt from watching Paul’s videos, much gratitude.

No. 78 Scrub Plane Restore and Convert by Craig Medvecky

Mantle Clock by Martin Robinson
Mantle clock based roughly on Paul’s design. Oak frame, with hardwood veneered ply face. Walnut inlays for the ‘numbers’ and decoration. The clock movement is MSF radio controlled.
Rocking Chair by Martin Robinson
This is my second rocking chair based on Seller’s Home design. This one has a cushioned seat and other minor variations to accommodate the stock I had available. The wood is West African Abura, reclaimed from an old 1960’s church pew, stained with Colron ‘Jacobean Oak’ Danish oil.
Router Plane by Simon Adams
Great project; I enjoyed it thoroughly, start to finish! Made from rough sawn Ash, resawn and dimensioned with hand tools only, with turned Ash knobs. I was going to do it in Beech, but I liked the colour contrast of the sap/heartwood in the chunk of Ash I had so I decided to go with that. I think the Ash handles may not be as comfy as a closer grained wood, but I didn’t want to waste my offcuts!

Coffee Table by Tom Ray
The wood was extremely rough when I bought it but when I started working it and saw what was underneath the roughness, I felt as though I had hit the jackpot. The depth, breadth, and expanse of this quilted maple is magnificent and very uncommon. Two pieces of wood form the top. Highly figured wood like this is very difficult to work with since the grain is randomly oriented and highly susceptible to tearing. This piece utilized no sandpaper. The glasslike finish texture was obtained using a very sharp and steeply angled plane blade. It was finished with Osmos.
