Here’s a break from your regularly scheduled #nora #broadcast for some #welding. #forge welding to be precise. I made this #damascus #steel display #knife for my friend and coworker in honor of his (#Tom @tjbhiker) retirement after a long and distinguished career. It has been so wonderful to work with him. The base is #cherry and the handle is some pretty wild #tigermaple that I got from @getexpertwood ⚒🔥🔪 ••• #damascussteel #custom #blacksmith #handmade #metalwork #woodworking #twist #cleaver #moremetalwelding #oneofakind

New custom push stick that my youngest daughter Sai and I made yesterday. Made from Birdseye Maple & Bolivian Rosewood. Features a replaceable walnut finger for pushing the wood. The finger is attached with two bolts that are thread tapped directly into the body with Andy Klein’s Wood Whisperer Thread taps. I rip a lot of shorter pieces in the 2-3 foot range, and the longer push stick length let’s me apply more forward hold down pressure for added safety. Super easy 2-hour project. I’ll post a video tomorrow with FREE plans & 3D measured drawing with cut-out template. It can be made of anything, from nicer pieces of off-cuts to plywood. #pushstick #pushsticks #woodworking #woodwork #bolivianrosewood #pauferro #morado #kfw #kingsfinewoodworking #tablesaw #diywoodworking #diywoodwork #tigermaple #woodworkingproject #woodworkingwoman

Here's a #piece from over the weekend. A #picture #frame. I kinda love it. I worked on some other stuff that's either not ready, I can't show you pictures yet, or I forgot to take pictures. 🙄 #welding #woodworking #tigermaple #nora #pitbull #pitbullsofinstagram #notgoodatmarketing

A couple shots of the least spectacular parts of a federal secretary from New Hampshire. Cherry, figured maple, original/early 19th century finish. Two doors over a small slant front desk area (birdseye and tiger maple), over three graduated drawers on short cabriole legs. Even the secondary wood is figured. Descended within the Spencer family in New Hampshire who moved this to Northern New York where my mother purchased it in the mid-1970s. This will be at the Fiddler's Antique Show in Nashville in February @fiddlersantiquesshow #tigermaple #birdseyemaple #federalsecretary #federalfurniture #newhampshirefurniture #newhampshireantiques (at Iowa City Art & Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYJs_ZEOTVb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Mountain-man or Frontiersman, either way, these were men of admirable fortitude. There were many; Simon Kenton (my favorite), Hugh Glass, Davey Crockett, Daniel Boone, and Lewis & Clark to name a few.

I like big boxes and I cannot lie. This large, pine document box is painted to look like tiger maple. 17.75" x 11.75" x 6.75" Early 19th century. #antique #paintedbox #paintedboxes #tigermaple #documentbox @iowacityart (at Iowa City Art & Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJfMC-lnIOj/?igshid=jqvjjuordprk

I scored a beautiful piece of Tiger Maple today, which I plan to use for a new frame for one of my NFS/show-only paintings. See those horizontal tiger-stripes that run across the vertical grain? When finished, they will look absolutely stunning 😍. . . . . . . #art #woodworking #wood #maple #tigermaple #😍 #framing #stevebaierart #pinupartist #woodworkingporn https://www.instagram.com/p/BmjK0NqlWwc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10niclc5ol2hb
