Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

[Dan-06]

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.

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.

Okay, I figured so. I’m really wanting to try it. This cabin won’t get 30 use days a year. I bet it would last a lifetime when finished properly.

Can’t tell it’s the same building that we started with.

Beautiful! Very nice work. How about some pictures of the interior?

That’s next year’s job. We will have to wait….

We play a lot of Euchre and we have some trouble keeping track of the trump suit. So I made a box that holds a deck of cards and can be used to mark the suit.



The first one I made ended up going with my daughter to college a few weeks ago. So I made a couple more. One is going in my wife's purse and the other is going to my mom.

I'll try to make a couple more for Christmas presents. Not to hard to make and I really enjoy using magnets for closures.

A neighbor from another ranch asked me to rebuild their bench. I like it the way it is!

We have recently gotten in to puzzles. But we discovered that we have to do them fast and then put them away or the cats will destroy/scatter them.

So I decided to build a puzzle board.





I looked at a lot of online resources and then kind of went my own way with a design. It's not terribly different from other offerings out there. I have 4 shallow drawers that can be used for sorting. I used magnets to keep the drawers in place and I opted not to add a turntable under it. I made it large enough for 2000 piece puzzles and with the exception of the plywood on top and bottom,mit is all made out of wood I had laying around in my shed.

I am still trying to decide what I want to use for a cover. I could get a sheet of thick plastic, like plexiglass, or maybe some pleather. I am also considering using some deerskin I had tanned up.

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! I piddle with small stuff. Mesquite and turquoise and obsidian.
