Maloof-Style Rocker

November 3rd, 2007 · 1 Comment

rockersketch.thumb.jpgMy Maloof-Style Rocker Project is by far my biggest project to date, but alas it is still unfinished (as of November 2007). I fully intend to finish this - all that’s left is the final joinery and shaping. Of course, that’s still an awful lot of work… but I know I’ll get around to it one of these days!

A new look for Shootingboard.net!

September 23rd, 2007 · No Comments

Shootingboard.net has a new look!  I’m using new software to publish the site, so hopefully updates will be easier for me to accomplish in the future…. it’s still a work in progress, though. 

This website is intended to provide some information about my experience with woodworking, woodturning, and my workshop & tools.  Most of this information was put together from posts & threads that I participated in on the WoodNet forums and the NCWoodworker.net forums.   

 Hopefully we’ll have some new woodworking projects to display here again soon!
