Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

[acarswell]

I have a passion for hunting, but also a passion for fine works of art with dead trees. Just wanted to share a few pictures and see if anyone else does any woodworking.View attachment 91203View attachment 91204View attachment 91205View attachment 91206View attachment 91207

Awesome work

Lots of cool stuff here. Always fun to see others projects to come up with inspiration for your own. My last two below.

Planning to build a stock for my 300 mag but wanted to practice on something else first. Laminated a few walnut boards for the 10/22. My son saw it and claimed it as his own.

How did you inlet the stock? Did you use some sort of router jig or just go really slow with chisels? Looks good, I really like the table too.

Thanks. I made a router jig and snuck up on it. The tapered barrel was a bit tougher trying to get the lines right. Cut it on the router small and used a dremel and sanding to get it where I wanted it.

In the process of building a woodshop right now. Once it is finished and electrified I can get back to woodworking. Although the carpentry involved in framing and erecting the shop has been fun too.

I mess with a lathe making custom elk and predator calls.

This is what I use. They are made for octagons and rounds.

You have much courage starting with a router. I cannot screw up anything faster than I can with a router

Routers can get out of hand. We have some up to 3hp in our shop. Gotta hold on to them tight. mtmuley

I’ve always thought the router is the most dangerous tool in my shop. The hand tool looks nice, might have to try that on the next one.

I received a Kreg router lift for Christmas, changes the ballgame, I highly recommend...

Not in the same league with you guys but a couple of ammo boxes I made that hold 165 rounds each. They weigh a ton when full.

And then a nice 23 ft x 32" dbh red oak the I sold this morning.

Building my 3 year old grandson his own bed. Almost done.

Live edge black walnut that I cut down from my parents’ back yard—finally got it finished up this year. I also build this pedestal table last Fall from Red Oak.

Some of you guys are REALLY talented!

I got it done and in his room. He absolutely loves it. The moldboard on front is also a bookshelf, mom likes that.

An interesting idea. It's hard to find shotgun hulls these days that are real brass. Most are steel painted brass and rust easily. Looks like he had a stash of good Winchester AA hulls that had been reloaded to death. Good use for them. Thanks.

Nice thread. The woodworking bug can dig in deep. I enjoyed wood so much I had my own business for a bit. I wanted to be a woodworker so I did. Custom desks, conference tables. Kitchens when I had to. I did a kitchen for a lodge , 14' dining table, 5 bathroom vanities with birch tops, 3 levels of staircase threads n handrails. Doors n lots of trim. Was actually on the food channel a couple times.
I was taught by an old school grouchy sweed. When I walk through the woods I look at every tree.
Wood kinda grows on yah

Hey thanks Straight Arrow. I watched Tom on the really show make arrows using a particular rose bush. I think I have one of those in our front yard. I've been waiting for the sap to drop so I could harvest some n try to make some arrow shafts. Straight arrow shafts of course. They have straight sections with no knowdes, 30". Red hollow 1/4". No thorns so the shaft is smooth from the start.
A picture of the rose bush looking down on the moose eating it
Beautiful roses too
