Spalting, Sw. blåved, wood that is discoloured but not structurally weakened by fungi. My grandpa liked to do fine #woodworking in spalted wood in the 70s. I think it may have been a fad at the time in Sweden.

I hang around #woodworking and #diy sites quite a bit, including some corners of Reddit
This project is quite a nice one that I'd like to try building myself

This morning, I finished painting my table saw blade holder. It’s far from perfect, but I’m extremely unlikely to forget what’s stored in that box now. https://write.as/davepolaschek/table-saw-blade-holder

@thomasfuchs Have you considered it may be custom made? I see plenty of indications. It's an unusually clever design that doesn't lend itself well to mass manufacturing. Plywood doesn't like to bend and there are no kerf cuts, so the usual way to make bent plywood like that is to laminate it in curved state, which is extremely labour intensive. The bottom cutout has angled edges, implying it was routed out after forming the shape, not before to ease the bending.
You can probably find a skilled woodworker to make you one.
The two stands are just stainless/chrome with a simple bend and rubber feet plus screw holes drilled.
About 9 months ago I sliced a thin slab from the near center of a white oak tree that fell during hurricane Helene. It curled up naturally as it dried so I turned it into a charcuterie board. Lots of sanding and some final polishing with food grade wax. #woodworking

One of my oldest good friends basically one day said ‘fuck tech I’m going to be a carpenter. I’m going to make things by hand’ and
He not only did that, he actually does make things by hand (he specializes in Japanese wood working)
I love checking in on what he’s doing. He just gets better and better. Can’t wait to physically see him in person again when I can go back to the city where we used to live

J'étais tellement content de ma première boite japonaise que j'en ai fait deux autres.
I was so happy building and using my first japanese box that I made two others.

Le chevron dans lequel j'ai coupé les planchettes a été scié à la main, la partie qui a cassé lors du sciage est visible ici. La charpente datait du milieu 19ème et le chevron avait des traces montrant qu'il avait déjà été utilisé.
The beam was hand sawn, you can see the part that broke at the end. The framework was built around 1850 and the beam had marks showing that it was reclaimed from another use.

Hello fedi-friendlies: anyone in the #woodworking world any experience of Rowden Atelier in N #Devon?
Wondering about doing a course there but would like to hear real recommendations or otherwise. Thanks
Holy butts. These designs are wooden marquetry. #handmade #yosegi #woodworking
I am on the hunt for people who make things. Physical things. Physical things in a workshop. Or at home. Or in a studio. Or outside. But they have to be physical things. And you make them. Handmade or with machines.
I’d like to follow you and see what you make.
Please can you boost this post so that I get some reach on this post.
Many thanks.
