The vintage 36” bandsaw is now in place. Still
A lot of set up to do but at least it is where it will live
Furniture typically created from steel and wood one piece at a time. The wood generally comes from dead or dying trees I cut down and mill.
Incorporating steel gives me a chance to improve my steel fabrication skills.

A simple bench made from white oak runners used on lobster traps. The runners would likely have been in the cold North Atlantic for about 10 years. Worms eat at them and they have to be replaced.
This bench will live in the home of friends in that lobstering community on an island 15 miles off of the Maine coast.
The white oak is coming full circle. It was once used to fish lobsters in those waters and will now serve in a home there.

Two charcuterie boards. The Mesquite board was back for a crack repair and the sycamore board is an experiment. Sebastian and I sawed a 30” sycamore log that is making pretty lumber.
