Rolling pins

These were built for Christmas gifts. They are made from cherry and maple woods glued together. They were cut at a desired angle for effect and made round on a lathe. The handles are maple. The finish is food safe salad bowl finish.

Nativity scene

I built this set a number of years ago for our church. It is used at various places of the sanctuary at Christmas time. They are cut out from 1/2" plywood and painted. The staff are from sticks in the bush. 

Airplane

My grandson saw this in one of my project books and asked if I could make it for him. The fusalage is made of pine, the engine is walnut, the wings are made from maple. The wing span is 13"

Stool

This stool is modeled after an old fashioned one that used to be more common in by gone kitchens. It is handy for shorter people to reach the high shelves in the kitchen. It can also be used as three tier shelves to display various things. It is built with Baltic birch and the dowels are from local burr oak. 

Lamp

Old drills like this have come to the end of their usefulness and need to be recycled. Instead of going to the scrap pile I thought it could be turned into a lamp. I removed the motor and installed an industrial lamp socket to the top of it. The original switch is used to turn the lamp on. To keep the light on, the switch is locked into the on position. The drill is mounted on a heavy metal base. The lamp is an Edison lamp.  I thought this lamp would be a good addition to a man's cave.

Tractor

The tractor is dual wheel four wheel drive and articulated steering with a twenty point chisel plow. The wheels on the plow go down and the side wings fold up for transporting. The tractor is made from pine and some Baltic birch, but the plow is built entirely from Baltic birch.  

Chairs

With google here, there is little need for encyclopedias. My friend asked if I could make him a set of stools with his. I was up for a challenge, so here they are. I drilled four holes through each volume and ran four bolts through them. The ends are made out of 3/4" Baltic birch. He says "sitting on them does not enhance your looks, but they might make you smarter"

Bowls

This bowl is made from left over scraps of Brazilian teak hardwood flooring.  This called a segmented bowel.

This bowl is made from Manitoba maple or sugar tree.

This bowl is made from Arizona mesquite. The bottom two are made from logs. They are more fun to make because they allow more creative. The restrictions are based on the log size. All my bowls are finished with a food safe finish.

Loader

• I built this loader from a photo I found on line. It is built out of baltic birch, maple and some walnut.
• The bucket can go up and dump.
