with winter season setting in finally, the woodshop has been re-opened for the season and several projects are in progress or already done.after visiting our local coffee shop Bubbert's several times, i was intrigued by their sign inside that someone had handmade. i took my tape measure along and took some rudimentary measurements and started formulating the sign i would build. these first 2 pictures are the start of said project. i love working with different woods and bringing out their natural beauty...this one will be using oak and some walnut that a friend of my folks gave me from a tree in their yard that was cut down.
more pictures will follow (and i haven't figured out how to rearrange the pictures to get them in the order i want)
this is the first project of the winter season...a coat rack that Nancy wanted for our entrance. i ordered the cast iron hooks online, and used a piece of oak from my scrap pile. i ended up having to paint the hooks and the screws to mount them, cause you can't find wrought iron flat black screws just anyplace. anyways, she was happy and i think it came out pretty nice!
