Today I found a little shop time, in between taking boards down from the windows, and finished the 2 cookie rolls I'm making in prep for my next cutting board. Both have a chocolate center (walnut), the one on the left is wrapped in vanilla (maple), the right one is wrapped with caramel (mahogany) and both of them have an outer covering of 1/8" chocolate (walnut). The inner makings are made from 3/4" sections, that is it's dividable by 3/4".
I forgot about your sling shots. Those things were always so cool. Very nice display stand!
This looks really interesting, Barry
Curious to see the final pattern, looks like a lot of precision milling there.... and gluing....
So a while back I came across this display case at an estate sale. The front glass was broken. I got a new glasses and a coworker’s wife cut me a new vinyl sticker for the quotation. The case was for Ronson lighters, but I thought the quote was appropriate for pens. Cut a piece of red cedar and routed grooves to lay pens in. Thought I’d have to change the light, but it worked.

Thats very nice! Great save.
Heck of a good save Roger!
Today I took a break and went another route. Been watching some Don Gonzalez's video lately and it got me wanting to do a little leather working. He had some free templates for cast iron skillet handle cover and I played with a few. My first attempt at floral carving. Not that easy as he makes it and especially without all the tools. Anyway it was good practice. The one on the left is completed the other two are at various stages of completion
Very cool!
Nice, Barry! And backed up by a great looking cutting board project.
@Wildthings Barry, what's happening with this project? Inquiring minds want to know.
Starting another cutting board project.
It got me frustrated and I had to take a break from it. Some of my outer chocolate wrapping's dimension were off and throwing the whole thing in a tizzy. The break has help me visualized what needs to be done. pictures coming
edited to add pictures @Tom Smart
I didn't plane one side (top left side in single pic) of the outer chocolate wrapping to the correct thickness before cross cutting the logs. (rookie). This allows the pieces to NOT fit correctly so I'm going to sand all the individual sections down on that one side to fit YIKES

I get that.
I think I recognize which board you are conjuring up! If so It's high on my list!
Stay tuned. Working to size up the pieces. Time consuming.
