Over the last few years Bulova has produced modern versions of the classic models that have become collectable/popular.
 |
| This is the first one I bought. I like the weight and quality construction. It has an automatic movement and at about $500-$600 new, I think this was a good value. |
 |
| I bought this one too. These are affordable quality watches. |

| This is a hallway table I made for my Brother and his family. I really made it for him, but they can use it too. Unless they put like a glass of ice-water on it or something. |
 |
| The legs are tapered and there is some fairly complicated jointery due to all of the angels that causes. |
 |
| Each leg was made from four pieces, to provide some visual interest. |
 |
| The top is a mix of Jakota and Okume. These are African hardwoods and have a high silica content. They sand/polish and finish well, but are hard on the cutting tools. |
 |
| These pictures were taken at the Gallery One, while it was entered in some show or something. |
 |
 |
| It was in the Front Window for a time... This lighting gives a good view of the color variations. |

 |
| This is my Brother. He had an Idea for me to make him a hallway table. |
 |
| So I found an ad on Craigslist near his house. It was like a cabinet maker going out of business that had some exotic woods. I asked him to go see what he could get for $200. |
 |
| Seriously, that is a longbed pickup. A ton of wood for the money, but that presented a different problem. |
 |
| Staking and sorting it all |

One of my friends wanted to buy some earrings from me to give as gifts. Great, except I have only ever made two pairs and that was a long time ago. So I gave it a shot. I made extras to give out for Christmas presents as well.
