Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

[schmalts]

One more guitar build. Found a real nice Black Ash on my land and milled it up into slabs. This chunk had a crotch seam that was a perfect place for the arm bevel line. Neck is Wenge, that was a partial made item but i installed stainless frets and scratched out some deeper grain lines to use to get the blue grain filler in for a matched headstock look. I let a guy from work take it home for a week and he's really bugging me about buying it. It does play sweet

I built a wood rowboat a couple years ago and felt that an aluminum net didn't fit right. So I set out to learn to bend wood and make an appropriate boat net. It took over a year in my spare time and 6 tries to get it to the field testing stage. I learned a heck of a lot about what bends and how to to get it to work. Now to test with fish!

That headstock is just begging for a crisp, gold “Patocaster” painted across it.

Oiled up and ready for birds!

I am not. I have relatives who are. They give me things. I do not want the things. They ask me what I do with the things. I tell the truth. I move them around sometimes. It was here. Now it is over there. After some time I don't exactly know what happened to it.

I know generally what happened to it, just not exactly because it happens so often it all blends together, but the last time I fessed up someone got their feelers hurt.

Which reminds me to ask my tomboy wife how long she plans to store that cane pole some kid sold her in the corner of the living room.

 

[howl]

Yes, apparently the cane pole lives there now. Alrighty, then.

Actually made the file but it looks to much like potato

Off to the uncle that taught me how to make rifle ammo. #16 is done.

I’m rebuilding this one. Does it count as woodworking?

 

[BrentD]

Does it count? ABSOLUTELY!!!

 

[Redmt]

I have the cross for my buddies grave finally cut to size. The moisture content is still very high. It's going to take another couple months to get it dried correctly without cracking.

Update, as of yesterday.

The remote hunting cabin wide plank fir floor has sustained over twenty years of grandkids' and others' hiking, hunting, and snowboots wear & tear, so worried about prospect of complete scrubbing, resanding, and refinishing ... we cleaned and applied woodworkers Old English Scratch Cover and sealer. We are pleased with results.

Cabin floor after:

That’s a good looking floor. We’re planning on doing something like that. We have a sawmill on site. The woods are not far. I’m wondering how aspen would hold up?

Nice work ! I like the lighter color of your floor .. nothing like the durability of solid wood floors.. we found some nice locally cut 3/4 T&G fur at a mill close to us .. took us most of a summer to get it all together in our 24’-30’ cabin. After a good sanding it took stain and sealer well .. just used a cheap Harbor Freight gun with big 1 3/4” staples.

A friend in Virginia City installed an aspen floor in his cabin loft. It seems to hold up if properly finished with strong protective coating.
