Craftsmanship found in antique shop in Santa Rosa, Northern California, USA.
I wanted to challenge my tilt skills, so I set the aperture to the widest it could be and adopted an angled view on the clamp. I have one photo focused on the screws, but this one is focused on the closest part of the wood. I think I got it.
Box is constructed with Russian Olive wood. The wood was harvested from a storm damaged tree in my son's backyard.
A 16mm wood cutting tool, this drill bit cuts 16mm circular holes in wood or fibreboard. It is often used to prepare a seating for recessed door handles and hinges on cabinets. I used my vintage Metz 45 "hammerhead" flash unit off camera to light this image.
At last I'm back to the workshop after a break following an incident involving woodturning, inattention, blood, stitches and bandages.
This is the result; a jewellery box in sycamore and something I scrounged that's mahogany-like. Corners simply mitred and strengthened with slip-feathers.
Went to the annual exposition of Atelier Group TIJ, held at a gallery in down town Utrecht.
The group was formed 25 years ago by 5 young artists. Right now it consists of 12 members. H. , a friend of mine, has been a core member since the beginning.
I took a pic of woodwork on the wall at the gallery's cafe. :)
This happens to be my particularly favorite Santa figure. I'm a serious woodworker, so naturally I find this version of Santa to be special.
You can judge my devotion to woodworking by visiting my Woodshop photo set...Parlour City Woodworking...to see what I do when I'm not photographing.
I’ve got a Husky toolbox for my wrenches and other tools but it seemed a crime to put wood tools in it. So I decided to build my dream toolbox. To keep with the wood theme, every component is wooden, the box, hinges, latches, and handle. The wood is honduran mahogany and the finish is lacquer.

The Crucifixion of Saint Peter is a work by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, painted in 1601 for the Cerasi Chapel of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome. Across the chapel is a second Caravaggio work depicting the Conversion of Saint Paul on the Road to Damascus (1601). On the altar between the two is the Assumption of the Virgin Mary by Annibale Carracci.
The two lateral paintings were commissioned in September 1600 by Monsignor Tiberio Cerasi, Treasurer-General to Pope Clement VIII, who purchased the chapel from the Augustinian friars on 8 July 1600 and commissioned Carlo Maderno to rebuild the small edifice in Baroque style. The contract for the altarpiece with Carracci has not been preserved but it is generally assumed that the document had been signed somewhat earlier, and Caravaggio had to take into consideration the other artist's work and the overall iconographic programme of the chapel. Cerasi nourished a deep devotion towards Saint Peter and Paul, and invoked them in his will. Together the two saints represented the foundation of the Catholic Church, and they were called the Princes of the Apostles. Both had a strong connection to the city of Rome and the papacy. Caravaggio's paintings were thus intended to express Cerasi's attachment to the Church of Rome and his closeness to papal power. Their position in the chapel was important but the devotional focus was still on the Assumption of the Virgin Mary on the altar in the middle. The juxtaposition of the two scenes had a well-known precedent in the frescos of the Capella Paolina at the Apostolic Palace (1542–1549) but the paintings of Caravaggio were starkly different from the crowded Mannerist scenes of Michelangelo.
Although much has been said about the supposed rivalry between Carracci and Caravaggio, there is no historical evidence about any serious tensions. Both were successful and sought-after artists in Rome. Caravaggio gained the Cerasi commission right after his celebrated works in the Contarelli Chapel had been finished, and Carracci was busy creating his great fresco cycle in the Palazzo Farnese. In these circumstances there was little reason for them to regard each other as business rivals, states Denis Mahon.
The contract signed on 24 September 1600 stipulates that "the distinguished painter, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio" will paint two large cypress panels, ten palms high and eight palms wide, representing the conversion of Saint Paul and the martyrdom of Saint Peter within eight months for the price of 400 scudi. The contract gave a free hand to the painter to choose the figures, persons and ornaments depicted in the way as he saw fit, "to the satisfaction however of his Lordship", and he was also obliged to submit preparatory studies before the execution of the paintings. Caravaggio received 50 scudi as advance payment from the banker Vincenzo Giustiniani with the rest earmarked to be paid on completion. The dimensions specified for the panels are virtually the same as the size of the existing canvasses.
When Tiberio Cerasi died on 3 May 1601, Caravaggio was still working on the paintings, as attested by an avviso dated 5 May which mentioned that the chapel was being decorated by the hand of the "famosissimo Pittore", Michelangelo da Caravaggio. A second avviso dated 2 June proves that Caravaggio was still at work on the paintings a month later. He completed them sometime before 10 November when he received the final instalment from the heirs of Tiberio Cerasi, the Fathers of the Ospedale della Consolazione. The total compensation for the paintings was reduced to 300 scudi for unknown reasons.
The paintings were finally installed in the chapel on 1 May 1605 by the woodworker Bartolomeo who received four scudi and fifty baiocchi from the Ospedale for his work.

Today I made boxes.
Cos one of the things about living the AFOL life, is that eventually, your MOCs need to be transported. So, today I made boxes.
And I'm also proud to announce I am still the owner of all my thumbs and many of my fingers.
I am a photographer but I am also a woodworker/maker and occasionally these two worlds intersect as they have in this photo
This pen is made from the wooden stave of a barrel used to age Jim Beam Bourbon combined with anodized aluminum. While I'm just a coffee drinker, I made this pen for someone who will appreciate its story. Jim Beam ages its bourbon in charred American white oak barrels, essential for its flavor, color, and character. The barrels are charred on the inside to caramelize wood sugars, enhancing the bourbon's taste and amber hue. As the bourbon expands and contracts with temperature changes, it absorbs vanilla, caramel, and spice notes from the wood. Barrels are used only once, and a piece of this one found its way to my workshop.
