Knocked up a very rough and ready bench from some off cuts of oak that I felled and milled up recently.

Finished slabbing the rest of the log today after sharpening my chain! Some nice stuff. One 16/4 and five 10/4 slabs. There should be at least one dining table and a bench in there.... #woodworking #alaskanmill #granberg #stihl #ms661 #douglasfir #slaburday #milling #beach #pendoreille #idaho #idahome #pnw (at Garfield Bay)

@mwawoodworks is starting a #showmeyourwood Wednesday, so here are the two silver maple slabs I'm turning into charcuterie boards. This is my first live edge project and the first time I've taken a piece from tree (branch) to lumber, to finished project. It's a lot of work, but also been very rewarding. This wood is special because it's from my parent's neighbor's house in Pittsburgh. Locally grown, family harvested, self processed, dried, worked, and finished. Check my feed later for the finished pieces. They're still in the oil bath right now, but they'll be ready for board butter later tonight. Maybe @joeyoso @archerwoodworking And @minspiredliving Have some wood they'd like to show off today. . . . . . . . . . . #wood #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingcommunity #maker #madeinNJ #liveedge #cuttingboard #slab #natural #kitchen #accessories #bowtie #inlay #cherry #handmade #handcrafted #diy #alaskanmill #charcuterie #doityourself #nj #silvermaple #maple #branch #local #thejawnshop

Spent the weekend building these garden steps at mums house. Using some local oak that I milled a few months ago with the Alaskan. #alaskanmill #diy #forestry #lumberjack #gardening #ecoliving #livinginthewoods #woodsman #natural #ecobuild #wales #welsh #handmade #woodcraft

Got in a quick photo shoot with the finished silver maple live edge charcuterie boards. Two of these will be on their way for Christmas morning shortly. . . . . . . . . . . . #wood #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingcommunity #maker #madeinNJ #liveedge #cuttingboard #slab #natural #kitchen #accessories #bowtie #inlay #cherry #handmade #handcrafted #diy #alaskanmill #charcuterie #doityourself #nj #silvermaple #maple #branch #local #thejawnshop

Raising the grain on the mini maple slab charcuterie boards before final sanding. I like this step (even though I almost forgot it) because it gives a sneak peek of what these will look like when finished. Hopefully I'll get to do the obligatory oil video later! . . . . . . . . . #wood #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingcommunity #maker #madeinNJ #liveedge #cuttingboard #slab #natural #kitchen #accessories #bowtie #inlay #cherry #handmade #handcrafted #diy #alaskanmill #charcuterie #doityourself #nj #silvermaple #maple #branch #local #thejawnshop

I know these don't look too much different from last time but if you look close, you can see that I've put the round over on the handles and I've done a ton of sanding to smooth the live edges. Still lots more sanding to go, but these are looking pretty good. The soft interface pad on the 5 inch random orbital sander has been a great help in blending the edges, highly recommended if you're doing this kind of work. . . . . . . . . . #wood #woodwork #woodworker #woodworking #woodworkingcommunity #maker #madeinNJ #liveedge #cuttingboard #slab #natural #kitchen #accessories #bowtie #inlay #cherry #handmade #handcrafted #diy #alaskanmill #charcuterie #doityourself #nj #silvermaple #maple #branch #local #thejawnshop
