These are from th blanks i glued up last month.   I added a mahogany and maple tail block to the, walnut, spalted holly, and western red cedar.  Abd wood burned a snail on the Eastern White Cedar.   Come down to the OCNJ music pier starting tomorrow at 5.

Busy wood working day..

Finished up some new bangles, got some hand [lanes ready for final sanding and spent the good part of the morning getting some new alaia blanks milled for glue up.   We'te gonna have atlantic white cedar and then a black walnut, with western red cedar and spalted holly stringers.  The after noon we glued up and started templating.

2 New Pine Alaias

I finished these 2 over the weekend.  The one that looks patchwork came from a blank that used finger joints to but the ends together.   Becca and I love how the patched one looks.  The other has a super deep concave on the back third.   Both are finished with boiled linseed oil These are available if you're interested and can be seen at the Gloucester County Fair Grouds for a Craft show this weekend.

As promised, I am donating 4 items for this years art benefit.  The big item is a 6'0 Pine alaia with Fishtail.  
A mixed media shelf shingle on  reclaimed barnwood titled "sunset stretch."  
 The shorebreak handplane is made from reclaimed Poplar.  It features an adjustable nylon strap and brass screws that fasten into brass hardware epoxied ito the wood.

Be sure to check out the event, pick up some art and support a great cause. 

Thanks Surfer Supplies

So I went down to Surfer Supplies in OC NJ to drop off a new handplane for the selection there and totally missed "it" when I went in the shop.  

Then Dan asked if I noticed the window and I said no and went out and to my suprise the guys placed a 6'o pine alaia with wood burned polka dots in the window.   I finally got down there this week witha camera to snap some shots....and a couple of the handplane of course.   Thanks ATF, Greg and Danimal.   Be sure to check them out on them web http://www.surferssupplies.com/ or on Asbury in OC for your surfing needs or intriguing frozen Costa Rican confections.
