Demilune table Repair

 This Beautifully Carved Demilune table was meant to be attached to the wall. But the Owners were moving house and a vacuum cleaner cord took it down on it's nose and broke the front leg. I was able to restore it to it's former glory.

Showcase for my work

This cypress wall hung cabinet was originally used as my tool cabinet, but I didn't care much for that type of storage system. So I have removed the doors and used some of that wood to add a couple of asymmetrical shelves to showcase some of my woodturned bowls and hand carved spoons.

Pintail Finished

I finished the Duckboat a while back but I just have written about it. It was a fairly easy boat to build and excellent first boat to build. I think it was a bit overbuilt, That seems to be a trait among the boats that were drawn by William Jackson. But then, they were mostly working boats built by working men. I chose this boat for stability not for speed. And that is what I got. I intended to use it for photography. And it is excellent for that.

I painted the outside with Rustoleum oil based paint. I only primed the inside. I didn't paint it. I did that to allow the wood to breath. In case the wood does absorb water from a scratch in the outside paint I didn't want it to be trapped by being encased in paint. This is my own opinion and I could be totally wrong but after 15 years of working on boats and wood homes I have seen a lot of rot caused by water getting into wood and not having a way out. This is part of the reason why I didn't fiberglass the hull or encapsulate the thing in epoxy. Eventually, water will find a way in. If it doesn't find it's way back out, rot will happen.
