What did you do in your shop today?

2 of three bead cutting tools complete along with a bottle opener from the leftover of the second. Also have the third handle ready to finish shaping, drilling and mounting the shaft. Been wanting to do one of this style of bottle openers for a long while. I also put the key ring knob from Niles Bottle-stoppers in the other end. Than you Carl Jacobson and Craft Supplies.

If you haven’t already, be sure and run it with a scrap piece of wood first to get rid of the fuzzies. It will make a huge mess the first run, but after that it works great. Just be careful though. It can pull the item out of your hands if you hold it wrong. Don’t ask me how I know. :blush:
Thanks for the warning, very messy but contained and got all three so they don’t shed anymore.

Practiced with my bandsaw today. Resawed some spalted maple I've had for a few years now; a beautiful piece of curly redwood laced she oak and a piece of mahogany (mostly because it was wide enough to almost max out the throat on my saw and I wanted to see how it would handle it). I bogged down the saw once but otherwise it went pretty well. Not perfect but close enough I can square them up on my neighbors wide belt sander.

I kinda wondered but. Have a 4x4x1 pc and a couple pen blanks you wanna throw away to a poor old possum cop? 🤣🤣🤣
I'd be happy to but that's the only piece I have and I have a really sweet little box in mind which is why I resawed it. Could have made pen blanks from the piece I had, but no call blank.
 
Hairy oak and buloke. I forgot the And. It’s two species not one lol
Do you have some you would be willing to part with. I am looking for some and the only place in the eu selling it sells it at 80€ a kilo. Absolutely crazy. I am willing to spend but my client might not be. Though if the shipping is too much I’ll pass. I need a flute blank. ~70cm (~25inches) long and about 5cm square (or round) (2inches)
Also it needs to be free of checks and below 7% mc. I know I’m asking a lot but I am just looking.
