One of the trees I drive home by daily. Burr Oak, Quercus Macrocarpa. Good for knees in ship framing.

Some other pieces




Some pieces from the workbench of Jay's Woods





Kathie's Dresser

This is the new dresser from Jay's Woods. It is American Black Walnut with maple drawer interiors. Each level of drawers is made from a single board so that the lines of the grains of wood are continuous. The drawers are dovetailed with no sub-front. The faces of the drawers, endpanels, and legs are reduced from twelve-quarter and eight-quarter stock. The curves make for a unique take on the "box".

Inception....
