Google image search for Wooden sidecar shows a few (not many) wooden sidecars..I have no plans to build a boat, but could you imagine a body of a sidecar? Like this one.
WOW!!!. That's is awesome!Steel frame bed with chainsaw milled cherry.
The bedside table on the left in the last picture was also built by me out of band milled cherry. A tornado came through my dads wooded property when I was about 12 years old. We logged out the downed trees and got it milled by a local guy with a Wood Mizer. I built the table when I was 26. Air dried for a long time up in MI.
The split top bench shown in many of the pictures was made out of chainsaw milled pine bottom and salvaged engineered beams for the top.
WOW!!!. That's is awesome!
Great work. Looks fantastic. Like a million bucks.
I may have to steal that idea to make my own for our queen bed.
Is that a double?
Nice work on the boards.Small stuff but at least it shows I am VERY slowly using some of the timber I have milled.
I made this for a friends 60th from a Box wood street tree I milled 10 years ago.
The tree comes the same suburb my friend grew up in back in the 1960's
Handles are turned from the same timber.

Used it on a small off cut of walnut for a shelf for my wife. Hooked it up to my delta dust collector and is virtually dust free when sanding. Finished this with Rubio monocoat which is expensive but sure brings out the color in this air dried walnut.
I must have milled it on an angle or the log was curvy because I somehow ended up with the pith centered in the end of the board and pops through on the face as well. Pretty neat.
Yes the 150 sure does eat someAbsolutely gorgeous piece of walnut! Love how some of the darker heartwood color bleeds into to sapwood.
Couple questions;
How thick is that board, 6/4?
Wondering how you got that color bleeding into the sapwood. Was it because it sat as a log for a year or two before you milled it?
I've had some color bleed into the sapwood on walnut if left in log form a few years.
Those festool sanders with dust collection are awesome. When you put them in aggressive mode they really eat up the wood.
Thanks - It's just the two sides of the same board .Nice work on the boards.
The breadknife is a Sheffield blade supplied by a local woodcraft store.My Dad had an old English made bread knife that looked like that. I think we used it for over 30 years when Mom used to make home made bread.
I still have a good bunch of English steel knives of theirs. All made in Sheffield, England. Some with Ox bone handles. Great steel and craftsman ship back then.
