Yesterday, a customer sent me a picture of the white pine slab he made into a table for sitting around his fire pit patio area.
I think it looks ok but not sure if he filled the ant holes or not.



 

I think we pulled that out of the trash pile when he was here.

Here is a project I've been working on for a while. It cracks me up that you can take blue stained pine and call it "denim pine" and charge a premium for it. These are 1-3/8 interior pre-hung barn doors. There were 16 total and 3 "sliding" barn doors. All of this lumber I sawed and dried. Really pretty stuff. They are tongue and groove, style and rail construction with floating tenons for additional strength because of the weight. The field is tongue and groove also.

For the barn doors, I make the wheels myself. They are done with 2 layers of white oak glued up cross grain for strength.....enjoy

Love the door hardware, pure genius!

X2 on the hardware. 

Is that commercial hardware or fabricated?  Looks easy to whip up from scratch. I don't recognize the wheels but they look perfect for indoors.

When I started doing these barn doors, I struggled with sourcing the hardware because I didn't want to but it from China. Then one morning, the idea of making them out of wood just appeared to me. I credit the good Lord for that....

Raym, I really like those wheels.  Great idea!

Did you use a bushing in the center or rely on the wood?  Router for wheel slot?

There is a 7/8" bearing in the center that is pressed in with a 3/8" bolt through hole. The wheel slot is just cut on the lathe, about 1/4" deep.

No. They are made up with 2 layers of 1/2" glued up cross grain. Very solid....

Didn't get a picture with the customer (this was for a builder so customer want there) but here is another barn door. Loved how this turned out. Not a true bookmatched set but very close. 2 slabs glued up is a whole lot easier to make a door than a true style and rail. Spalted ambrosia maple.

John and I recently sawed some longleaf pine that was purchased by some friends of ours (former students) to use in the construction of a cabin they are building.  They also picked out a 21' cedar log to place in the center of the structure.

Thanks it was fun to make. I want to find more work like that as I enter retirement! This week I'm working on a 12x16 Barn for my wife (a tough customer) timber frame, mortise and tenon. I put a gambrel roof on it, I built one once 30 years ago on a house. I will post in the section for that when I'm done! I could have built 3 - 2x4 buildings in the same time!!! All the first beams I cut w my mill.
