Matt's Weekly Shop Update

I spent a great few days outdoors cutting up some logs on my sawmill. I made it through the two silver maple logs that I’ve had for about 8 months. They had some amazing color and spalting and the bigger one also included some embedded metals which made things fun. Back in the shop, I added the horizontal dividers to the sideboard. The top divider is dovetailed into the legs and the lower one connects to the legs with a double mortise and tenon.

I’ve attached some photos of my first big furniture project. It is a dining room table 75″ x 32″ in a modern style. The top is red oak and the legs are white oak all finished with a dark walnut danish oil.

Fishing Net by Sean

Floating catch and release fishing net. When boat fishing and you net a fish, you can leave the net in the water and the fish stays submerged while you get your gear ready for a release.

Oak, Maple, Mahogany & Walnut.
