12-foot Harvest Table

     I made this 12'-0" table this week.  I can still make them longer - 16'-0" is the maximum.  It was a challenge to get the table out of my shop and into my truck - I had to take it through the overhead door with a big snow bank against it!  
     The top is pine and legs cedar.

Honey Bees

     I have a customer who raises honey bees and was looking for a few folkart bees.

     I headed upstairs to Grandma's Attic 
( http://backroadfolkart.blogspot.ca/2013/03/grandmas-attic.html ) above my Studio and put together these old wooden fishing buoys for the bodies and two old fan blades for the wings.

    The fisherman used wood-turning lathes to turn out these buoys made from Island cedar, then they'd tar them to waterpr0of them.

Screen Doors

     I still make screen doors - I've bean making them for 20 years.  Over the years I changed from making them from pine to using all cedar now.  

     The spindles are hand turned on a wooden lath.  The doors have removeable screen frame.   All the joints are glued with 3/4" wooden dowel.

Two Tuna

     Here's some of my latest work - tunas.  The body is made from a cedar log; oxen shoes for the fins; old antler for the top fin; one tail is a ladder hook and the other a water  tank stand.  
     Both these items have been sold.     

Above: here the wood has dried for a month before painting.

The tails made from recycled materials.

Painted and ready to go.
