Woodworking

Since the subject of woodworking came up thought I'd post a couple pics of projects I've worked on.
Here's an Old Squaw I did a couple years ago.

And a couple of cedar beds I built.

Really like how you did the bed in the first pic. The coon tail blanket is top notch! Can I borrow it for my wedding night next month just so I can see the look on her face :D

Those beds are nice. I've done other cedar furniture, never a bed. That stuff is big money around here if you have a consistent supply of material. I've always wanted to do a bedroom set with Eastern Red Cedar, seems it's hard to find anyone selling them whole or in any condition to work with.

What brand of cutter do you use for your tenons? I had a nice set that have seem to come up missing.

Moved to the new Home Improvement & Crafts forum! Enjoy.

When I think of the word craft I think of wood crafts in the manly sense :lol:

:lol: it's a fine line that can go either way. DIY takes out the grey area to retain man card credibility.

Thanks for the name change! Crafts reminds me of arts and crafts. Arts and crafts are in equal manliness as vaginas.

These are all done out of white cedar that I cut on the family property. The biggest pain was just getting them out if the swamp.
I don't remember off hand what brand the cutter is and I only have one size. The smaller ones I shape by hand. I know I didn't charge nearly enough for either bed but they were for friends and family. The second bed is kingsize and the headboard is 10 1/2 feet wide. Neat projects but a lot of work.

X2 on the beds. And the coon lancet, regardless of what tripod says.

Nope, highly caffeinated and laminating the new transom for the boat. 6 layers of 7ply 1/4" marine grade. Gotta make it stout. Crashing now and taking a nap...
