Was that a subtle hint? Nah.. out and out request 😉

Hmm. I’ve got two things in the works, but one is shop furniture, and one probably won’t make it by Christmas because I’m a slacker.
May you have the day you deserve!

Are you thinking gifts (eg trivets) or decorations (eg trees, snowman)?
Anything …
But don’t go painting a snowman if you made it out of walnut. I never loved that down, over at LJ. I’m still traumatized by it hahaha :)
I just track that down and post it here …

Walnut and paint should never meet! 😳
Edit: saw your project...maybe ok this time 😉 Cute project!
Opposite side - I like poplar and most people say its only good to be painted! Good thing we all like different things to keep things interesting. 🙂

Rules are so important …. Because then you can break them with intention - and that is where the artistry happens
But I’ve never painted walnut ever again lol :)

Agreed, leave the latex for the cherry and don't use common nails, the square head masonry nails look more rustic and the resulting splits along the grain add instant character (woodworking tip #1) 8^)
One of my more popular holiday sales items are the magnetic bottle openers. I'll add an old project post on these
The opener attaches to the fridge door with magnets and also capture the caps so they don't fall onto the floor and get stepped on during a barefoot midnight food raid.
Paint cherry??? Why!!! What???!!!
Cherry is my favourite wood.
As for the bottle openers - that’s awesome. I’ll be looking for it in the projects

Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.

my supplier sells bleached walnut.he says some like it because the color is more even. heck i like walnut with sap wood just because of the contrast. i know what you do some of the projects just require it.

OK, I'm guilty of painting walnut
