The pieces have been outside probably 3+ years, I was surprised at how good they were after cutting them.
My cutting bench hasn't held up quite as well....needs a bit of repair.
What did you do in your shop today?

Black cherry can go, sometimes 5-7 years in your area before block rot kicks into the heartwood. Looking forward to seeing the roughed and finished products.
My boys tried to snow job me once, and I wanted to take the belt to them. LOL
Seriously, nice pictures and narration.
He did great. Thanks!
Spent the afternoon in the bathroom. Could not leave for more than a few minutes...
She said she wanted the stack of maple and trim installed before the company comes on Monday.
Well, if you want to see a room that is extremely busy, this would be it.
This birdseye is the final wall in a room that has taken 4 years to finish. Every wall has a unique design. The wall over the sink may look familiar...
I am not sure if this is truly birdseye or maybe more just adventitious buds . Either way, should catch the eye of anyone who wanders through.

Batched out 15 cutting boards between today and last Sunday. Some for gifts some for stock in a general store. Getting the hang of using my makers mark brand.
You've been busy!
I worked at a shop where we branded the drawers. After branding, we would lightly sand over the brand just enough to take away the 'shadow?' of the brand. Makes it look more crisp and sharp.
They really appeal to the eye. Have not comfortable with my brand.
Em R Sharp! Nice work! Look expensive. Hope they strike the customers the same way. Have made a total of 1 cutting board. It was more than my cheap tools were up to. I need to upgrade my tablesaw before I start splitting glue lines.
Super nice cutting boards! Are the yellow boards Yellow Heart, Osage Orange, or something else? Chuck
It's yellow heart....been sitting in my shop rafters for a few years decided to use it for cutting boards.
Spent sometime in the garage yesterday making this for my mom. It's a boxelder log with a walnut nose and some artificial pine beard.
Nice rails Tim.
Sick man Troy, we know you did that for yourself to inherit more wood down the road. Ya, for Mom. My siblings would call me out too if I did that.
Brothers in the dream of sledding there and back again.

Hung 3 more led lights in the shop. Then I cut some plywood for the new miter saw dust hood. I didn't get to finish it as I got a phone call from a friend I haven't talked to for a long time and we talked for a couple hours on the phone catching up. It was good to talk with him.
Have a new batch of fledgling chicks ready to go out to the chicken house. Not quite big enough to mingle yet so I spent the morning putting an insulated brooder area in under the nest boxes in our chicken house.
Then cut a few pieces of wood up. (See cliff's box elder and Jason's apple for pics. )
Then finished the willow counter top and installed it.
The reddish cast in this image is from a heat lamp. My softy wife couldn't stand the chicks going out on a cold night so they are hanging out in here for the night...
there it is ready to get messy...
