A few things Ive made

[Wild_Dingo]

Gidday there new fella here (Ive done the intro in another section ) Just thought Id share a few of the different things Ive made

An artists paintbrush box

The hinges for the above box

Timbers used Jarrah Sepiature Sheoak Huon Pine and Camphor Laurel feet with a Jarrah paint brush for the handle and a paint pallete insert birdseye maple with ruby opal turquoise and malachite. (see below)

Final peice

This is a small bowl with its own saucer made of plum the bowl is just under 2in diameter

My workbench... one of three actually but the one I spent most time making... top is Jarrah 6ft long x 2ft wide and 3in thick stacked boards 1 1/2in thick side by side each 4th board was cut to make an inch gap every 12in for dogs... the side rail is Meranti the legs Tuart and the base Jarrah floorboards

Now for my second or is it third? maybe 5th after the missus and nippers I guess but whatever I love making and giving clocks!!

Mantle clock... top and base Jarrah finials Sheoak clock backing board Sepiature

Seafaring Clock... for the inlaws... Sheoak back plate Banksia sides Jarrah and Sheoak base.

Coffee table... Sheoak (edge to edge)

I am trying like mad to show a couple of other peices but for some weird reason the program wont let them show... maybe I should post them in another post perhaps?

Anyway this gives an idea of some of the other things I make in what I call the "cave" [8D]

Cheers

That looks like a very solid workbench, I'm in the process of revamping the benches in my shop right now. (Hand planes don't like it when th bench wiggles)

That coffee table is very nice too.

Lets see if I can post the other pics Ive been trying to upload

Hand made (no tools used) Plum flute with terquoise and silver on a bed of Camphor Laurel

This was the payment for the artists paint brush box in the preceeding post... the artist is my elder sister Victoria Eyre

This clock I titled "2 ladies in waiting" Backboard Sheoak Jarrah strips Banksia wings... Jarrah over Tuart over Banksia base and chrystal in hole at top to bring rainbows into the home

Jarrah hall table

There are others but Im having troubles getting them to show for some reason [V]

Anyways you get some idea of what Im into

The other coffee table that no matter what I do wont showup for some reason is far better (in my view) Sheoak is beautifull timber but I actually enjoy playing one timber off against another for a bit of effect

The bench mate you HAVE to do it!!... I built a whopping 10ft Tuart bench as my first bench oh Tuart is a eucalypt and one HEAVY timber... and when we moved down here I decided to build a couple of long benches to go the full length of shed (ie 2x 4mtr benches leaving a bit over 3ft for a door to the seatainer finishin area whenever I get a chance to convert the thing) and so did... but found that the Tuart one just didnt cut it for me anymore so after some research and about 2 weeks work I figured out that the new one is just the ducks knuts!!

Cheers again!!

Very nice work!! I just wish your 'domestic' hardwoods weren't our 'exotic' hardwoods!!! Want some 'exotic' black walnut or maple??? []

Wow, you are quite an artist, as well as a fine woodworker. The Aussie timber is beautiful! Wanna trade for some Doug Fir?
