Jewelry_Chest.JPGWedding Gift Project286 viewsMy brother got married at 52, long after our parents had died. I used black walnut left over from a project Dad did for Mom, duplicating a small jewelry chest Dad built in the 1960's. I figure it's as close as a wedding gift from Mom and Dad that he will get, at least in this lifetime.Gary K

33_cropped.JPGSplitting Headaches283 viewsAfter rolling the tree, I was able to kerf it on the opposite side and split it. The split wasn't flat, of course, and the convex section is on the top. The concave section is in the middle, after I split the small pieces at the bottom off of it. After further sectioning, I have five irregular eight foot planks, varying from 6-8" thick and about 18" wide, lots of small pieces, a sore back and swollen knuckles.Gary K

Charnley_Forest_whetstone.JPGCharnley Forest Whetstone57 viewsJeff Gorman picked this up in Charney Forest; when I cut it open there was a soft mineral inclusion. It still sharpens very well. I've used the piece on the right, darker because of mineral oil, while the piece on the left still needs flattening.Gary K
