Here is a set of walnut plates I made out of kiln dried 6/4 stock 11 1/2" wide. All are around 11 1/8" across. They are finish with Mike Mahoney's walnut oil and after they have dried I put his combo of walnut oil/beeswax/carnubawax on them. After a couple of hours of drying I buff out on the lathe. They are going to be put in use on our table.

This is a walnut and oak box. The top is oak with a walnut handle. Oak miter keys on a walnut carcus. Finish is a home brew of oil varnish, tung oil and mineral spirits. Thanks for looking!

Attached is a photo of a baby cradle. It is made of oak with many coats of poleyurthane sanded between each coat. About 50 % is done with a router. I made everything except the spindles. It's made to swing or lock in a fixed position. Also, it will come apart for storage. I hope I at least get honorable mention.

I never enter contests ... well ... only when the stakes are high. Anything from the guys at Router Workshop I consider way up there! So here goes ... enter my project in the contest. Thanks.
A close friend was looking for a small table for an older TV and I saw an opportunity to use my tools for a good reason other than just for chips and dust.
I started by disigning the legs, making two basic face frames and joining them together. The top was a mitered grooved frame with a plywood insert. Not being able to find a source for a black textured laminate, I decided to create my own. I had an old can of black enamel that was a quite thick. I poured a large glob on the plywood insert and used a paint roller to spread it out. What a mess! Next day I re-coated it using the same old roller. The effect was almost what I was looking for. Two or three coats of minwax satin poly and I liked it.
I used a Delta ShopMaster Router/Shaper with a pattern bit for the legs and a lot of round-over passes on the entire project. Bead-Loc loose tenons were used for all the joints on the frame. Number 20 Biscuits for the mitered table top frame and cleats.
That's all folks ... what did I win? Ray

Looks like very stiff competition!

This microwave stand is solid oak with aspen as the secondary wood. It has a cookie sheet compartment (upper left) and a bread board to hold hot plates out of the microwave. Heavy duty drawers below and a cupboard above with raised oak panels. All on a mortise and tennoned frame with tongue and groove back boards.

Legs are cast iron lion-paw design in gold and silver.

The finish, done by my wife, is aniline dye, home-made shellac, and several coats of Varathane.

We are currently designing a pie safe to go with it.

Attached are photos of an airplane rocker I built for my grandson. It is a disign and build or build and disign depending what stage it was in at any given time. My daughter-in-law is a pilot for United, so I thought it would be a good project. Everything is made from scratch. The propeller is hand carved.
