Tucker Posted September 12, 2024 Report Posted September 12, 2024 Made a book case for a friend. Walnut w/ hardwax oil finish. 7
MacKenzie Posted September 13, 2024 Report Posted September 13, 2024 Lucky friend, I love walnut. It is beautiful and just wait for it mellow, it will only be more beautiful. 👍👍
jonj Posted September 13, 2024 Report Posted September 13, 2024 Beautiful work. I especially like the attention to the grain patterns throughout the piece. Do I see a little craftsman mark above the top shelf in the upper right?
Syzygies Posted September 13, 2024 Report Posted September 13, 2024 (edited) Beautiful! Back in the shallow end of the swimming pool, I'm also fond of guerrilla woodworking. At our daughter's previous house in Salem, Oregon, working outside in her carport next to pouring rain with minimal tools, watching the wood warp in real time as I worked. I rejected dado cut joints in favor of explicit shelf supports I could clamp the shelves onto, taking out cupping as I screwed them in. Back went on last. Serviceable, and they made the move to her new house in Arizona. Edited September 13, 2024 by Syzygies 5
MacKenzie Posted September 14, 2024 Report Posted September 14, 2024 I bet she will be thrilled with those beauties.
