When i am not working in the plantations or have excavatorwork i do a little woodworking for some clients that want something above normal standards and quality here and are also willing to pay my prices.

Very nice , the wood your using sure would make a dandy gun stock excellent color for sure.
Pretty kool, I've been working on a wood working shop so I have something to fall back on when I can't log anymore. What is the machine your using to make the slots?
Nice work I like it :)
I also like the saw horse's
Whats a saw horses?
In pic 7,10 you see the shaper. Its European style, shaperaxle is 30mm diam, with a sliding table. there are hundreds of dif shaperheads (knifes, cutters) you can buy. i just have a few. A slotter, gluejointer, cabinetdoor, ...they are kind a expensive.
Teakwood,
Really nice work. I like that cantilevered top. How did you support it?
Great shaper, is working all that teak hard on your cutters? Thanks for sharing your pix
Excellent. Very talented. Thank you for sharing.
Wow!
Thanks for sharing, great job.

Underneath that top there is a concrete structure. Teak is very hard on you knifes, especially planerknifes, you have to use carbide knifes on every machine, HSS will last just a few boards.
very few times i work with teak (my trees are to small yet). this wood is called laurel, its very similar to your american walnut, and i just like it, so beautiful and easy to work with.
Maybe i got the chance to buy some mahogany wood cheap, I always wanted to make me a mahogany furniture, they are so nice. I like the expression on my swiss visits faces when you say thats mahogany. In europe just a few people can afford this wood. I have a 3' diam mahogany tree on my finca but they are protected.
Would that laurel be good for carving?
Great work Teakwood. I always enjoy following your posts. Costa Rica is always beautiful, too. Lovely people and spectacular geography.
I dont know, think it would be to hard for carving. I have newer done carving though
I'm trying to learn for later in life.

This is a curved black birch flitch.
That does look good, it takes alot of time and patience to make things look that good. Nice pictures. 8)
Nice work, all the way around!
Well done!
