Bowling Alley Countertop

 

 

This is a section of Countertop in my new kitchen.  Well, my wife's new kitchen but I do get a drawer.

 

 

We bought a bowling alley lane.  For real.  I finished the sides with African Mahogany.

Flight Light Fixture - Ohia, Kamani and Sitka Spruce

This is my attempt to make a 1960's light fixture for my kitchen

I've been locked out of my jeweler's studio - So, I have been doing woodworking in my garage.  

Dang old Covid 19

Here is the photo from my Artist Registry Page at Gallery One.

The pictures aren't very good, but I will eventually install it and get better pictures.

The woods are Ohia and Kammani that I brought back from Hawaii and Sitka Spruce that I brought back from Alaska.  You know, the 49th and 50th states.

CalDawg Helped me with pictures and I was goofing off taking pictures of him.  Jodi liked it.

Construction Photos:

Wood!  These are Ohia and Kamanni from Hawaii and Sitka Spruce from Alaska.

None of the boards were long enough, because I brought them back from vacations in Hawaii and Alaska, so I had to piece them all together.  This is after cutting the basic shapes out.

This was figuring out spacing for the LED light bulbs.

This is the Kamanni and figuring out how to get a sweep shape.

This was a scrap piece of stainless steel left over from a manufacturing process.

I added stained glass, a frame and lights.

Jewelry Boxes - Koa Wood, Walnut and Mahogany

Jewelry Boxes - Hawaiian Koa Wood, Walnut and Mahogany.  I made these as an assignment in the CWU Wood Design class Spring 2016. 

 Construction Pictures:

This project started when I bought a board of acacia wood while in Hawaii.  It is a special species of acacia that only grows above 1,500 feet.  I had seen some boxes in the Gallery One and wanted to try to make one, or two.

lots of clamps.  maybe more like all the clamps.

Alchemy Lego Floor Lamp

Here is a project that has nothing to do with metal-smithing.  

Or does it?

I always wanted to make a Lego lamp.  

The little blue and red transparent pieces just seemed to be begging for a light inside.

So I waited to find Legos at yardsales and whatnot until I had enough.  But it couldn't be just a bunch of random legos.

I decided to make  a lamp that tells the story of Alchemy.  The base has the four classical elements of Water, Wind, Air and Fire.
