Woodworking

I guess most retired old duffers like myself like woodworking. They make wooden trains for their grandkids and turn wooden bowls for their friends. While I like to do the same things, I like to be adventurous with my woodworking, trying to make things that are a little unusual. I will present here some of my strange concoctions that you might find interesting. I have found that my bowmaking has made me a better craftsman, and I enjoy using the beautiful woods to make attractive, useful items.

Sea Turtle

August 22, 2011

This is a sea turtle cutting board that I made for a lady whose decorative theme for her St. Thomas condo was, of course, sea turtles. She wanted it made of decorative woods. This is what I came up with. It took many different cuts and pieces and about 12 different species of woods, but I finally finished it after about a year.
