The Slow Woodworker: December 2014
http://slowwoodworker.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2014. Well the walnut and yellow cedar boxes grew up and left as Christmas gifts for their new life. I changed one of the walnut box's handles to a piece of dark wood from the holly. I like that better. Here is a family shot before the kids grew up and went their own way. And, the good news is . . . I have actually got back to working on the shoji style lamp and am making some decent progress on it. It should look very close to its final look. Sunday, December 14, 2014. Should be abl...

The Slow Woodworker: May 2015
http://slowwoodworker.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2015. At the IP Celebration earlier in the month, and coming home took the opportunity to reread A Cabinetmaker's Notebook by James Krenov. I am extremely fortunate to have had access for nearly ten years now to a near limitless supply of locally grown woods, in raw log form. And hopefully I will continue to have the same access in the future! With a couple of chainsaw mills and lots of friends, I have milled up over 200 logs into planks. Manitoba Maple. Known as Box Elder in the USA.

The Slow Woodworker: June 2015
http://slowwoodworker.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 14, 2015. I cut from this same log on both visits, which were a couple years apart. The other trees which had come down were both hung up in other trees so I did not go anywhere near them! The slabs were about 16" wide and I cut them at 8' so they would fit in the truck. Four years later when I went back to cut some more, the wood had started to stain quite a bit. The amount of waste is incredibly dismaying. It cracks freely at any excuse and it also warps tremendously. Sunday, June 7, 2015.

The Slow Woodworker: February 2015
http://slowwoodworker.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Actually it's not part two of the same handle, it's a new handle! The first handle, pictured in my previous post, didn't fare very well when I went to shape it on the shaper, my least favourite power tool by a wide margin. The climb cutting the yellow cedar did not work, I wound up with some tear out that was beyond repair. So I had to make up and fit and then carefully shape a new handle. Glad that part is over! I am now turning my attention to the base to hold the light bulb.
