Customer's projects pictures thread

Jim_Rogers · January 11, 2014, 10:56:54 AM

Do we have one thread where we post pictures of customer's projects?

I thought we did.

If we don't we should start one.

I recently got a couple.

About a week or so ago, I got this one from a fellow who bought some walnut from me to turn a bowl:

He wanted a photo of the log it came from to show the person who got the bowl. He is a beginner bowl turner. And he knows he's got a lot to learn. He was requested more bowl blanks but will get back to me later on when he has exact details of what he wants.

Biibyman started a thread several years back, but I can't remember the name of it.

Its rewarding to see someone build something beautiful with the wood you cut. I've cut some really pretty stuff for folks but I know DanGed well it will rot in a pile. Frank C.

That is a nice bowl.

It is always rewarding to watch a customer's trees go

from logs

to stickered lumber

and then to wall paneling

in his new home.

I am truly amazed at some of the projects customers build with my (their ;D) wood.
I post many of the projects on my web page (with their permission). Two of my favorite ones are the harp that a customer's dad built for his granddaughter for Christmas, and the "Man Cave" a fellow built for the basement of his new house.

That harp and girl is a very nice picture.

Here are a few pieces made from an old walnut root that had been down for about eight years.

Lumber...

Final use.

After I quit slobbering over the old cars, I noticed a mighty fine building around them.

A few months ago, Jmoore and I sawed a longleaf pine log to provide a little lumber for one of our friends who was teaching an ag mechanics class at a nearby college. He had each of the students plane their boards and build an "A" shaped tool box as a class project using woodworking tools. The boards that were left over were used to build this t.v. shelf in his house. Yesterday he came by to pick up some 2" x 12" s to replace the blue/gray steps seen in the picture. He does not own a table saw, lost most of his right hand in an accident when he was a young man and made all of the cuts with a circular saw. I was impressed. I look forward to seeing the new steps.

A customer just sent me in some pictures of a table he made and sold out of a slab of maple I sold him.
And the legs are some pieces of walnut he got from me also.

Here are some of the photos:

The top was from a tree from Gloucester, MA and the walnut came out of the same log I got the bowl planks from, I think.

This guy has just bought a house with a huge barn in Southern NH, where he will be making furniture in a shop there and selling custom made stuff.
He is going to get more maple slabs from me and make more tables.
When I visit his shop/showroom, I'll take some more pictures.

PS. the piece of glass appears to be inlaid so that it is flush with the maple top surface.

Magicman · January 16, 2014, 09:31:25 AM

Very nice. Thanks for that "PS". My eyes were trying to figure it out. smiley_dizzy

Jim I really like his idea of using the glass pane as a guide to straight line the cut to get best book end match.

Another table by my customer from a red oak slab he got from me:

Interesting.
