Tyrus Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Impressive yes it is. Mahogany is rich in color and warm for the eyes. Once you hit it with a Poly it just POPS as your door does. A labor of love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Geeeeeezz, I wish you guys wouldn't do that...got me thinking and looking at videos. Those tools are nice but come at a high price tag for the quality equipment. Nice looking sign Bruce. Was the wood an indigenous pine? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Tyrus it was popular with an oil stain. It was a trial Run but after doing it I just decided to stain it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 CNC machines are so cool just design what you want and use router bits to cut it out. The machine I had was a 5 axis machine. It did the flat work but you could also do turnings with it. Was fun while it lasted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon B. Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 @Steve M @Bruce Pearson Not to be out done by Bruce or Steve M. I thought I would post a photo of one of my finest wood working projects.........The Gooney Bird cutting board. It did have a mahogany eye ball but it fell out a long time ago. My 90 year old mother keeps hiding it, however I have discovered all her hiding places and always return it to it's place of prominence........on the island counter top. Even though it's size and design is totally worthless as cutting board...........this valued family antique is probably about 50 years old and is the reason I got a C in wood shop and started taking Home Economics courses. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks familiar, was it ever in Fine Woodworking by any chance? Awesome that you still have it. None of my early woodworking projects survived the fireplace. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Jon, what a lucky break, you might have ended up with a CNC instead of a KK. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Think I remember a pig as our project. Betya that Gooney Bird has roots in Bali, to think where the mystery all began and how it brought you forward 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve M Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 So nearly a year after I started the outdoor kitchen, I'm calling the construction done. I finished up the trim about a week ago and the electrician came today to finish the remaining outlets. This will be a pic heavy post! This is the sink and bar area. The sink is huge and large enough to soak a grill grate. Sliding the refrigerator in today was very satisfying. Here are some shots of the backsplash. One piece that runs the length of the bar with all inlaid features. I can't even remember how many individual steps were involved. Warming drawer and storage for the griddle supplies: Area behind the KK has nice copper tiles that no one will ever see: Also behind the KK - inlaid kk logo: More inlay near the drop in cooler Trash chute with a cutting board on top that is prett functional: Some good storage throughout including under the griddle for kk accessories And the first Mai Tai of the season 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 WOW! That is areal beautiful setup. I like your style. I guess I know where all the cooking will be going on. Thanks for all the photos. Looking forward to pics of future cooks. Happy grilling! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
