Woodworking with traditional tools, spoon carving, and mucking about. #EarlyModern interpretation and shenanigans. Dog Dad.
Not to worry, the blood is my own.

To the distinguished scholar who offered,
“The kubbestol/kubbstol is essentially a readymade and thus one of the more fundamental approaches to design, taking that which one has and adapting it to what you need…”
May I offer a polite…NOT EXACTLY.

Reviving a project I set aside a couple of years back: a dugout chair. This one is from a dying red oak we had taken down, much of it with bad center rot. Not much to it, I’ll fit a plank for the seat, perhaps hinged for a little hideaway.

Further exploration of the red oak. It rives nicely, some interior staining (spalting? Does red oak spalt?) but only a bit of decay around the pith. Too bad I’m not doing greenwood furniture and my shingling project is finished. Will have to dream up some appropriate uses. #woodworking #greenwood

I quartered it so I could actually haul the pieces out. Still not quite sure what I want to do with it, but should get at least a few good pieces for the drying shed.

I decided I needed to fish or cut bait with this beast; do something with it before it rotted or leave it be.

A couple of years ago we had a big red oak come down after much wind and rain. It was a live fall, so it didn’t have center rot for a change. I did an exploratory cut but didn’t get back to it before snow/heat/excuses redirected my attention.

I’m good with it.

For decades I’ve wanted a lock like this. Alas, I don’t have a piece that’s worthy.

I’ve made quite a number of these for friends and interpreters at a nearby museum. They’re quite handy for keeping your sewing supplies organized.

Trying out a bit of checkering on a walking stick. Gives a nice pseudo-dragon scale effect, and a solid grip. Very meditative cutting all those facets. #woodworking #woodcarving

I find the shape of the man’s walking stick interesting as it bears a close resemblance to the sort of modern cane I’ve used after leg surgery. Nothing is new.

Just reminiscing about my days at ol’ Hohenheim U. before we head off to see the original Bride of Frankenstein. I’ve seen it several times but never on the big screen before.
Happy Halloween!
