My wifes awesome rack!!

Well, this year for the little lady's birthday, her heart desired a
bakers rack. So, I had no idea what that was, but she elaborated "shelves" and I went to work. Solid oak, pecan stain, with a simple design I thought 2 weeks of 5am to 7am before work would suffice, however I was sadly mistaken. I missed her birthday by two days, which cause me to sleep on the couch for 3 weeks. Just kidding, 1 week!!

Pretty nice rack for Chris as well,

A place to hang your hat, not so much to ask, or maybe it is. With a backboard of walnut, and horshoes of red oak, no stain necessary to fancify this piece. A friend informed me of how forlorn his hats looked, what with one on the bed, 2 on the TV, and another of the bathroom towel rack. So for a small fee, this is what I came up with, large enough to accomodate a 5" brim, you'll never have to worry about losing shape with this jewel. Another satisfied customer.

Add a little spice to your life!!!

I suppose this post could've have been added to my lathe from earlier, but I don't know how to add pics to comments... So enjoy as I do this pepper mill made from a figured piece of walnut. This wood is particularly awesome in sunlight and the curly grain and speckled sapwood cause it to shine like a new penny. I made this for my wife on Mothers Day, and we've been spicin' it up ever since.

Ever started something years ago....

I started this DVD case when my son was

born 5 yrs ago, and couldn't ever figure out how to put the doors on it without making it front heavy. Well, upon my throne, where most good ideas are made, I came up with the bearing and guide rail options to cause the doors to open and fold simultaneously, and viola', half a decade later, I'm done. Heres to "Good things come to those who wait".

Note for later, bamboo is tricky to split in two when dry, best to cut wet and let season!!
