Late 60s Epiphones are basically the same as gibsons. Same material same factory. I have an FT45 (aka Cortez) which is the same as a Gibson LG2/B25. They’re usually available for <$1k.

They’ve been banned by USPS, FedEx and UPS, so functionally they cannot be distributed or shipped any longer. I squirreled some away 5+ years ago but haven’t seen them on a retail shelf since then.

I just saw a similar knife on FB cihi tool group. You? It looks great! Very elegant and obviously well polished.

Before/after: They can’t all be sexy original creations. This was a full tear down and refinish job. Hopefully the client will get another 50 years out of this mahogany built-in book case. #woodworking #refinishing #library

My friend recently asked me to create a sign for his cabin. I think this take is a nice revision on the #northwoods tradition. Ambrosia maple. The house is enameled with a spar urethane finish. Jatoba frame and some solar lights will keep the see-thru windows illuminated at night. #upnorth

Bought a 1910s Stanley No. 8 to restore and the tote was this weird yellow color and the finish was worn off. I figured it was a replacement. But after sanding, I was shocked to find this rosewood underneath. It sanded like oxidation, not a stain or finish. Anyone ever seen something like this?
1910s Stanley Hand plane handle or tote, heavily used, broken on top, and oxidized. It’s sitting on top of a woodworking bench and is the Before picture in the series of this post. Stanley tool co number 8 handle or tote or their largest plane. Sanded to 320 and waxed. The After picture in the series is similarly situated on a workbench surface.

The rest of my same-period planes have rosewood knobs and totes like the darker piece here. The tote being reddish but still smelling like rosewood made it unlike what I’ve seen before.

Sure! Definitely could be. Same effect on the knob which cleaned up to also be a really nice rosewood, although visibly different than the tote.

It came from an estate of someone with just a few more tools than an average homeowner would have. I assume it’s just age for this vintage of a tool.

The electrolysis machine is up and running. Knocking the rust off some older Sampson dividers/calipers. Tool restoration is my other other hobby.

The 10/4 finished out at 2.25”. It’s much richer and browner than steamed/kilned commercial walnut. Now…what to make??

I love this chair & photo. It’s comfortable and adjustable. The lighting here is perfect. It highlights the black Latigo leather and brings the reds out of the padauk legs, while hinting at something stately and adventurous. Available. #woodworking #woodturning #leathercraft #midcenturymodern
Black leather safari or Roorkhee chair with turned padauk legs and stretchers. Natural leather strapping with brass buckles ensure a secure but adjustable means of assembly. Against a black back ground the artful lighting highlights the curves and classic form of the chair.

Mystery rosewood (I suspect cocobolo) cooking spoon. Another scrap project from last week. Projects for this week will include stropping the bejezus out of my carving / whittling knives. #woodworking #woodcarving #kitchentools #handmade

Right!? I might have gotten lucky with how it turned out, but cocobolo is famous for these types of grain patterns. Hopefully the last one I’ll have to make!

Not everything turns out as you envision. This experiment was supposed to be Midcentury/Atomic pattern with brass and steel inlay into walnut. I thought it would be a good study piece for a distinctively-framed wall art but it didn’t stand out. 🤷‍♂️ On to the next one… #woodworking #midcentury #retro
Starburst and Midcentury modern boomerang pattern engraved into a panel of walnut and inlaid with brass and steel. A simple pattern, it was designed as a possible piece of hung art, but the dullness of the metal and the muddy walnut didn’t draw sufficient contrast to justify further development of the idea.

Yeah, I have a pic of this piece with 2-3 coats of shellac. I’ll try to post it. It doesn’t do justice to the idea. I’m playing with using the same methods but with more colorful inlay and a stepped technique for fake stained glass to produce a Mondrian or FLW style product. Stay tuned?

One of the best parts of being a craftsman is using your skills & tools to create something unique for your situation. I needed a kids table, but not a Fancy Kids Table. With cedar fencing, a 4x4 and an afternoon, you can have a (quick) custom solution for your problem. #woodworking #maker #diy
Preschool age child having lunch on a custom kids table and chair set outside on a deck. The oiled cedar gives the scene a warm and inviting tone, as does the small empty seat opposite the child, angled toward the camera.

Yeah, the drive to make wacky stuff for your kids is definitely a perk of dad status. I try to let them engage in whatever parts of the process they want. I’d love to give them the same spark for making and tinkering, if they want it. Then they can make stuff for me when I’m old :)

Getting settled back in the shop after the holidays, various illnesses and general malaise. To get these leatherworking tools off my bench I have to finish the project. Baby steps through all (gestures broadly) this. #crafting #leatherwork #diy #toolsandtheownersthatlovethem
Interior shot of a leather bag currently being assembled. Burgundy exterior leather and undyed bottom and side panels hold black thread while a stitching punch continues to make holes to finish the stitching of the bottom panel.
