Spoon with the @socalwoodshop board wax applied. Love this stuff! Is there anything more satisfying than seeing walnut transform!? I laughed at this because I quite possibly have thrown scraps away bigger than this spoon 😂 • #woodworking #woodshaped #goshapesomewood #woodcarving #woodenspoon #carvingwood #carving #workingtimbersco #workingtimbers #diy #maker #makersgonnamake #carpentry #carpenter #walnut #woodenspoon #saltspoon #kitchendecor #chef #cheftools https://www.instagram.com/p/B_shusaj6nG/?igshid=1sr5z9697w73w

I love where the @lienielsentoolworks block plane comes in handy for jobs like this. This was very satisfying. Once I worked it down far enough I then took my sander and sanded flush • #woodworking #woodshaped #goshapesomewood #woodbowtie #blockplane #lienielsen #lienielsentoolworks #makermakersgonnamake #carpentry #carpenter #woodwork #diy #woodart #art #repurposedwood #handmade #woodcraft https://www.instagram.com/p/B-0nfJujJRY/?igshid=de2po8cvi8ks

I often struggle with which finish to use on projects since many projects are better suited for some finishes than others but I enjoy the ones where it’s an easier option. I’m using the @minwaxusa clear aerosol lacquer for the bench and it’s one of the easier most convenient options and it looks great in the end • #woodworking #woodshaped #lacquer #spraylacquer #finish #woodfinish #woodwork #goshapesomewood #grainpop #carpentry #carpenter #diy #maker #workingtimbersco #design #entrywaydecor https://www.instagram.com/p/B8eSAdFFWFk/?igshid=gg9l4sx923l7

Wand box my son asked if I’d make for a friend! A lot more refinement needed and I’ll probably do a round over but I like the wood contrast! What have y’all been making this weekend? • #woodworking #woodshaped #wand #harrypotter #wandbox #walnut #maker #makersgonnamake #diy #carpentry #carpenter #goshapesomewood #workingtimbersco #woodbox #woodworkingcimmunity https://www.instagram.com/p/B-3O8djjQEz/?igshid=1wvvv4h95czzh

Looks like some slab flattening in my future. Has anyone flattened anything lately? This will be my first experience with this so if you have any pointers, let me know. Will be building the router planing sled soon • #woodworking #slabflattening #routersled #walnut #routerbit #amanatool #planingsled #liveedge #liveedgeslab #carpentry #carpenter #diy #maker #workingtimbersco #router #woodshaped #goshapesomewood #planer https://www.instagram.com/p/B8U9kALANEu/?igshid=1kpvzsp9t7sbf

Let’s get some color into my feed for a change! I have to rely on my miter saw for some of the cuts you would make with a crosscut sled on a table saw. I just don’t trust my table saw 😂 Who says that you can’t get your miter saw to be accurate? I really rely on my @cmt_orangetools digital angle gauge to keep my cuts at their precise angles. You’ll see the difference in your projects. • #woodworking #woodshaped #goshapesomewood #mitersaw #angledcuts #miter #anglegauge #carpentry #carpenter #diy #maker #wood #woodworker #workingtimbersco #accuracy #woodworkersofinstagram #cmtorangetools https://www.instagram.com/p/B8RpvNjA0TO/?igshid=10qn0wh22uwbh

Basically every clamp that I have and trust me I know this is nothing. Laminating two 3/4 inch pieces of ply! Not much I can do about the middle area. Any ideas? By the time you respond it will be too late! 😂 #woodworking #clamps #glueup #woodlamination #lamination #maple #plywood #woodworker #workingtimbersco #woodshaped #goshapesomewood #maker #diy https://www.instagram.com/p/B8CMXD3g46m/?igshid=k6ypxp23m9aq

Walnut slab is ready to be worked! What kinds of projects are you all creating with slabs these days? I have the 2 slabs, a smaller and a larger one and I already know what I’m doing with one • Comment below what you would make • #woodworking #woodshaped #goshapesomewood #workingtimbersco #walnut #walnutslab #moisturemeter #maker #makersgonnamake @wagnermeters https://www.instagram.com/p/B7xByEpgvsW/?igshid=1uoe81rwr9f6z

Tips for Beginner Woodworkers Hey guys! Since I’ve been asked a lot lately. I wanted to take a moment and share some tips for anyone interested in getting into woodworking. These are just my humble opinion and it’s what has helped me personally to be successful. 1- Start where you are and with what you have, acquire tools as the project dictates it. As I always say #goshapesomewood Just get out there and start. 2- Pick a project that you’ll love working on and a piece that you or someone else (if making for someone else) have a need for. 3-Plan out your project, create a design, sketch it up, calculate measurements and material requirements, you’ll save time instead of staring at your wall in the shop or garage 4-Think about how you will supply yourself with wood material you need to build projects. Will you use reclaimed wood like pallet wood or wood from a salvage yard, new material from a local saw mill or will you go to a big box store? The wood source will change the project requirements and the effort that will go into it. If the wood is not already surfaced on all 4 sides, meaning it isn’t square, then you have to make it so it is. Most likely you’ll end up an one of the big box stores since you may not have the tools to surface the wood yourself. Plan the cost into your project and it should work out just fine. Message me with any questions especially around if you are wanting to get into milling your own wood and I’d be happy to answer them. Hope these are helpful! #woodworking #learnwoodworking #woodshaped #woodshapedofficial https://www.instagram.com/p/BxApvbUgjIo/?igshid=1n8i4e9aj3hcu

Check out the #walnut stock I milled for drawer structure. Sides, back, and bottom. I know it seems to be everyone’s favorite species but there really are lots of reasons to love it...#woodworking #woodshaped #woodshapedofficial #goshapesomewood #boxjoints #dovetails https://www.instagram.com/p/BtcVxYwABgG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=28isllv3fqn

Night stand turned out great I think. Here’s a quick piece of footage of me applying @odiesoil - I think I’ve really been missing out not using this stuff until now!

What are you using to join larger panels? Working with some mighty thick stock for a pair of #nightstand from hard maple. Panels are lookin pretty rough at the moment after milling due to a few chips in my planer blade but they will come together brilliantly. Enjoyed this step and the glue up. Nice squeeze out! Keep it locked in here to see the design take shape! • #woodworking #design #nightstands #woodshaped #glueup #joinery #festool #festooldomino #tooltuesday #mortise #tenon #maker #diy #goshapesomewood #workingtimbersco @festool_usa https://www.instagram.com/p/CCpT2QiDcAk/?igshid=tdz28xza7i57

I’m so amazed by the router sled results. After getting that first face flat, I duplicated that face on the other side using my 15” planer. I know most of you get this process but for those that don’t, this may help you in some way. I’ll be using the jointer for the first edge face and then duplicate that face on the table saw to get it all completely square. Fun process! • #woodworking #jointer #planer #milling #routersled #slabflattening #maple #workingtimbersco #diy #maker #makersgonnamake #lumber #howto #grizzlyindustrial #woodwork #goshapesomewood #woodshaped https://www.instagram.com/p/CClgZcmDpPD/?igshid=qx8qtn5ctuhi

If you missed my quick video of this build, go back a few posts and check it out and the story behind it • Would you use something like this? Do you see it as more of an art piece or a woodworking anomaly? 😂 • Yes! I’m still excited about it!

It’s the little things that can sometimes be the most challenging but can bring great rewards. All the pieces of a project culminate into one grand result! • Slicing the bow ties on the bandsaw using a scrap push stick. Worked well! If you missed the full project video, go back two posts.
