My order for my in-laws was received yesterday, and I do believe that I am now the favorite of any of their kids' spouses... I might have even jumped a rung above their own children ;-) 

Drew does amazing work!

OH SNAP!!!!

I just picked up a 95w laser engraver, with 28" width and pass through for as long as i want a product to be to go through it, though i'll mostly be focusing on smaller more intricate stuff....

this adds a whole new dimension to what i can make!

 @OrangeAfroMan , how would you like to add some "football fields" to your game?  with the CNC Router, it would take upwards of a few hours to produce one... with the laser? minutes, and more detailed...
I'd love that and share it in the game group.

if you guys are interested in pretty nifty gifts for family or friends for Christmas, now is the time to set up an order!

I turned these out over the last week or so... so, not just cutting boards... though the cutting boards are pretty nice especially since i've linked up with a custom knife maker and will be putting packages together... Damascus Steel knives, hand made, and matching cutting boards... and... the laser can either mark the blades with name or logo or the handle, or both. 


at any rate:

i've made several end grain chopping blocks lately.... this one is one i can share.  i'm making two more tomorrow- a first for me when i'm making one that doesn't have a customer yet!

the image is sapele and cherry... the cnc was used to inset feet and make an inset 'pocket' on the back of it where i inlayed a panel of russian birch- lasered an image and message on the inlay, and lasered a monogram on the surface.  

the next two will be bigger... this one is 14.5"x12.5"x2"..... the feet extend to make the overall height just 3 1/8"... 

today, i went a-shoppin'... i picked up an unbelievable plank of black walnut- supreme grade... 8/4 thick, 14.5" across face (width) and 12 feet 4 inches long... along with it i picked up some 8/4 sapele, and 8/4 cherry... more baltic and russian birch, and some rock maple.  I'm set pretty good material wise for maybe two dozen boards (and a table surface i'm making for a dude).... Christmas is closer than you think!!!

Looking into a wall unit to hang wine glasses and also act as a shelf. It's our "black" accent wall in our kitchen, which is greys, whites, black, a little tan. How do I post a pic here?

Anyway, I know @Drew4UTk is a wood worker, so I figured I'd ask.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!
