It is destined for a boardroom for "a company of equals"

I know two of the guys in that company... they probably want the distance to keep them apart. :D

A while ago, I loaned a customer a book off of my bookshelf and he returned it yesterday.
In his other hand was a present for my wife:









 

My wife loved it. He said so far he had made some 70 or 80 of these to sell at craft fairs.

Jim,

   Good looking workmanship. Now you better behave because your customer will be very upset if you make your wife mad and she was to kill you with that roller.

Nice rolling pin!

I think the square blank was cut in two at a angle and glued back together with the darker wood in between the two pieces. (twice)

If you search "keltic knot wood turning" you will see something similar only more cuts.

It's not too difficult K,
first the different boards are glued lengthwise. Next the laminated boards are cut with a chop saw at the angle of your desired "X" and then glue one leg of the "X" into that gap. When that dries, flip it 180 and cut the other leg of  the "X" and glue in the same size board into that gap.  Clamping can be a little difficult with the "X" and it's easier with a slot so the board stays in line. Without a slot, and the pressure clamping on the end, the board wants to slide away from this angled cut.

When all this gluing is finished, you simply center it on the lathe and turn your desired shape. A rolling pin, a goblet, an icecream scoop handle......   You can also cut this "X" in all four sides and at different angles which gives a pretty neat aesthetic.

I resawed some old oak timbers for a customer who wanted them squared to 6x8 so he could crosscut them on his miter saw. Said he was going to tile a floor with them. Last night he emailed me a picture of his finished floor. How neat is that?


 
Did he happen to tell you how thick they were cut? Reason I ask, have a bunch of ERC that will be sawn up again. And I have an ideal using the Red Cedar. No way will I let my wife see that picture. :o

Several years ago I was in an antique store and bought a marble rolling pin for my wife, never did figure out what I was thinking.

Get you in trouble? Maybe if you specify whether it's right side up or upside down. Would make a difference in the perception of the figure portrayed...

A fellow who bought some cedar from us a couple of months ago sent me a few pictures of his finished table.  He is a metal worker by trade and evidently likes shiny wood. 

 

 I like the white tube base that he built.

That's an incredibly beautiful table....in exactly the wrong location.  This is not going to have a happy ending,  because his wife is NOT happy with this.  Trust me, his wife is NOT happy with this.
