Yep, ambrosia maple.....
Nice, but the calipers on the wall are crooked!
Think he did that on purpose to accent the finial. Maybe it will urn some brownie points....?..
Today was final end grain cuts and glue up for a cutting board to wife’s sister. Tomorrow will sand and finish.
Applied what I hope is last coat of finish for the Chrysanthemum creation, and call it done.
Cut and sanded some maple knife scales while going thru wood options for cutting board.

Finished an elm bowl, and about 90% done with an Eastern red cedar bowl.
This looks much better now.....
Rats...I forgot to straighten my calipers....
Yesterday I got to see all my tools, etc again, after a few weeks of separation. Yesterday we moved in to our new home. Shop stuff was brought over in the first load a few weeks ago.
Going to take a little bit of work to get up and going again. Will be fun setting up shop in the new space. Two car garage - 21' x 22 1/2', with 9' ceiling!

Well.... not my shop, but we meet in a club member’s shop for our monthly club meeting. Had elections and I get to be prez again, plus our efforts to get the word out paid off some—had a visit from the local TV station AND the newspaper. Both were kind of a surprise, have to say it went well with a busy meeting.
2 drawer fronts mounted, 6 small ones and a door left.....
Congratulations David. Should have been calling you Mr. President. What is the name of your club?

South Texas Woodturners— Victoria Tx
Good deal. I just assumed that position with Mid-Columbia Wood Turners.
Congrats David and William!! I’m VP of our club.
Good deal Garry. The Vp carry’s a load of work. Did it for two years.
Can you post a link to that? I'd be interested in watching/reading it....

Don’t know a link yet. The tv is KAVU 25– might have been on 10 ish tonite, paper is Victoria Advocate, not sure when they’re going to publish.
Great to hear you’re all moved in, and already thinking about getting your shop set up. The nice thing about a 9 foot plus ceiling is that it just allows a 4 x 8 sheet to be rotated on end without hitting the ceiling!
Been eyeing this walnut rough out bowl on a shelf, roughed out July 2013. Has some nice looking figure and chatoyance even without the first cuts.
Also did a little wet sanding with walnut oil to the cutting board I posted yesterday.

Want to see one more picture of the router cabinet?? Great, here it is. True learning experience!! Of course forgot to grab knobs and 2 handles at Lowe’s this morning, duh. Going to redo the fence in the near future, just not satisfied.
Also, another question: how many of you keep your original tool cases such as my router case? Now that I have that nice drawer, thinking about ridding myself of it, yet, the pack rat/OCD in me says it would be nice to have (since it fits, not planned that way) if I want to loan or take my router to another location.
Just thinking out loud.
Oh, last thing: eliminated the door. Figure better cooling and it will need to be blown out anyway. I think I can reach my power switch pretty quickly even in this location.
Thanks folks for all the encouragement.
