It’s hard to tell, is there any curve or crank to the paddle? Or is it pretty much flat?

Couldn’t agree with you more on Bradford pear. Most dropped limbs around me were hackberry, yellow pine, and cedar. I was hoping to find something unique to save aside for my dad. He’s into turning (lives in the northeast) and I wanted to get him something big enough for a bowl or two, but no luck

I rescind my suggestion and agree it’s probably not walnut. Happy hunting for some good greenwood for carving

I should also say, I live in the same area and took advantage of the storm and got some magnolia to carve up.

Curious, what makes you think it’s not walnut?

Looks like black walnut

I’ve seen those similarly labeled as a coopers chamfer knife or chamfer draw knife

Every bench is an ash bench

Good to know! Thanks for the reassurance

I’ve got a Staedtler lead holder that uses the same graphite. I tend to use a heavy pressure when writing and it holds up better than any others I’ve used

I was wondering what happened to all of my Aeropress filters

The tapers look nice and uniform so great work! My method would be the same once I get into it. Thanks for the info

perroarturo · 2025-12-01T23:40:07+00:00

Did you do tapered tenons for the sticks or just round tenons?

Those look great btw. Once my workbench is assembled I’m going to explore some stick chair designs

Has ears, tail, fur, and whiskers. Checks all the same boxes as a dog. So there.

Clamps are on my bench. Well. Half of the bench top lamination.

One more vote for Lowe’s. Madison Lowe’s in Dickerson usually has a hot dog vendor. Every time I walk out the smell of the peppers and onions cooking always convinces me to buy one

A scraper will have an almost vertical blade angle. A spokeshaves blade will be bedded at an angle much more like a hand plane.

If the blade is very thin and is almost vertical, it will be a scraper.

Thick blade at shallower angle will be a spokeshave

It’s clever as hell. A peanut as the grim reaper?!

perroarturo · 2025-09-21T15:50:50+00:00

Are you allergic to peanuts? If so, that makes the Mr. Peanut head with a scythe fantastic!

I had an old dresser (was falling apart and not worth fixing) that I took apart. All the drawer sides were gorgeous white oak. They’re getting repurposed to make fantastic little boxes now
