i suggest you make a large tenon separately and insert one into mortices on both faces of each joint. assuming the oak sections are big enough then they should be strong enough.
-
also just done a replacement bowl for one that a customer had broken. although i couldn't match the wood precisely he said the colour and shape was what he wanted. the original was olivewood but the replacement is American Black Walnut. 8 1/2"x 3 1/2". from blank to bowl.

here are the three mallets (which still have the mounting points on) i got asked for off the back of harvey's request for one and i even did a fourth which i forgot to take a photo of but i did get some of the glue up process so you can see how they go together.
-
not sure what you mean exactly? how would it look poorer? i've oiled kiln dry stock and air dry and it looks good either way in my book.
-
that must smell fantastic...

i can turn you some contrasting dowels if you want. i'd stick to oak thought. at 15% you will be fine just to give a coat of oil but it will shrink a bit once in a heated environment. as a joiner myself i know quality when i see it mate. well done.

WW1 Commonwealth Oak tree Avenue Windsor?
se7enthdevil replied to organic guy's topic in General chat
get in touch with the crown estate. they know every tree that was ever planted there and will be able to tell you. -
WW1 Commonwealth Oak tree Avenue Windsor?
se7enthdevil replied to organic guy's topic in General chat
try getting in touch with the crown estate. personally i've never heard of it and i live just down the road. -
this was a market i would have loved to have cracked but i never seemed to be able to do so. only made one in the end. i've still got some of the timber i bought for them too. nice 6x6" non pith oak but i can still use them for table legs.
-
very easy and was historically used for clogs.
-
they'll be some cracking table tops mate....

makita have a handheld saw the 5402A but there is a newish one on the market. 16-5/16 In. Magnesium Super SAWSQUATCH™ Worm Drive Saw WWW.SKILSAW.COM Cut big jobs down to size. The biggest worm drive on Earth features a cutting capacity of 6-1/4 in. so you can tear through 6x in one pass. you have to get them from america as they are too dangerous for this side of the pond...
-
gobby, do you know of anyone in your local area who has a chopsaw that has a 4" deep cut? i have the DW708 and used that on my 6" table legs for the large table i did on the "all my woodwork so far" thread. you do have to flip it but being a chopsaw it gives accurate results. i would not be without one so i suggest you consider buying a second hand one on ebay.
-
it's a bit branchy but you should get some interesting boards from it. what projects did you have in mind for the wood once dry.
-
that's a beastie... hope someone can mill that as you don't get to many that big...
-
definitely worth a look and needs to be felled as though there is all the intention of milling it. don't cut it square at the top of the trunk. leave the stubbs of the branches and then get it milled if it's worth it.
-
indeed, that would be a handy one to know for future reference...
-
get a blacklight torch and charge it that way jon.... it does a much better job than daylight.
-
i've also been doing more skittles.

well off the back of the last picture of chisels and mini mallet Harvey asked me to make him a fill sizes mallet and here it is. three guys in the workshop asked for one when they saw this one so thanks Harvey.
-
i'd love some from a mature tree for wood turning. what thicknesses are you cutting?
-
is that you dave? Steve earis here.
-
i can't give you an exact species as there are so many lumped in the group that this comes from but i can say that it is most likely from the dark red meranti group in the genus Shorea. i would presume that the wood is relatively hard and heavy?
-
just another couple of chisels re handled for the joiner who gave me the job of the column bases. gave him a little mallet too as i like to make them from time to time. .
