#woodworking is one of the most #lowtimepreference #hobbies that one can have. I picked this up from my sister who is having a few trees cut down. It's a weeping cherry crotch burl. I will have to wait 2-5 years for this to air dry enough to use but it's gonna be some beautiful wood. I'll be very excitedly waiting and thinking of #projects to use this for. Any suggestions? It's about 18" cubed. My nephew has already requested a chess board and I intend to oblige but will obviously have much more left. #craftsman #inspiration




and grabbed 2 of these flip stops. I've gotta say, for the price these things are awesome. I'll let you guys know how they hold up after getting flipped a few thousand times. #fabrication #craftsman




Had a good friend ask if I could make him a custom chess board (not pictured, will share after he gets it) and decided why not make 3 more while I'm at it. The one with rocks is made with real rocks and sand. Board peices are anigre and surround is sycamore. The green one is anigre with a paduck trim and the blue is anigre with a zebrawood surround all finished with rubio monocoat.

Proud father moment, my daughter made her first serving board with a bit of help from me on the jointer and mixing the epoxy. Cherry crotchwood and ruby red epoxy. #woodworking #parenting #craftsman #makestr
