 newbie jerry's work
In response to the warm welcome and a request for some examples of my work I am showing a couple. Unfortunately they are not specifically router work examples.
the first is a vanity unit in solid blue gum finished with shellac. Blue gum is a pinkish Australian hardwood. Very little sanding was done in the construction and finish. The wood was worked with plane and scraper and the red stain was mixed directly into blond shellac and applied by the traditional rubber.
The other must count as one of the longest WIP. It's a Frank Klaus design bench I started more than ten years ago. The 3/4 holes in the top for hold downs were completed two weeks ago and the tail vice will be attached fairly soon. As you can see it is not a show piece. It gets a scrape when necessary and a slather of boiled linseed oil.
