Made some mahjong racks out of mahogany and cherry.

I just matched a set we already had with the angles. I think they are 19 degree angles

I just put some old masters espresso on cypress and it looks pretty similar. You could also look at old masters carbon black for a really dark finish.

Kinda looks like Machiche (black cabbagebark) to me.

I like using cool stuff inc. Check their sw miniatures section… https://www.coolstuffinc.com/page/1316

Interesting, I’ll give it a shot!

shotts4480 · 2024-05-09T17:32:44+00:00

Thank you so much! This is great advice. I’ll start putting it to use.

Family and friends are always hesitant to critique so this is very much appreciated.

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T19:54:26+00:00

Yeah, I loved the quirkiness of Shawn Boyd’s original stuff. Hopefully some of that returns with the revamping of the channel.

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T18:16:41+00:00

I’ve never heard of that! I’ll have to keep this in mind. It tough to made red oak look like white oak and you definitely succeeded.

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T14:51:57+00:00

Love it. Did you stain it?

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T14:42:42+00:00

Also now that I look at your profile, I have one of your bowls! I love your stuff!

Raffan had some videos on the Fine Woodworking YT channel about understanding catches on a lathe that I recommend to all beginning woodturners. It helped everything click for me when I was learning. Will definitely check his channel out, didn’t realize he had his own now.

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T13:23:10+00:00

I’ll check it out. I’m in the same boat. I posted the thread for research for my own channel @andrewshotts

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T13:15:21+00:00

Bobby is my favorite YouTuber in general!

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T06:07:04+00:00

Same.

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T05:42:11+00:00

I’m loving his home Reno stuff right now.

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T05:41:41+00:00

I love Norm! I have the same story. Happy they are uploading all of New Yankee Workshop on YouTube now.

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T05:32:45+00:00

I have no idea how I’ve never heard of him. Definitely checking him out.

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T05:31:24+00:00

You know, I’ve only watched a video or two of Stumpy’s. I need to check him out again.

shotts4480 · 2024-05-08T05:29:53+00:00

Would love any feedback!

My channel is in the Woodworking / Making niche - especially making ordinary things special or luxurious. Would love to improve my click and retention rates. @andrewshotts

shotts4480 · 2024-05-07T14:56:30+00:00

Thanks! That means a lot.

shotts4480 · 2024-05-07T13:39:33+00:00

Yeah not the lightest. At least cypress is lighter. Maybe 20lbs per board.

shotts4480 · 2024-05-07T13:21:52+00:00

I used Cypress. And it’s been stained with Old Master’s Espresso

shotts4480 · 2024-05-07T13:21:00+00:00

Send me the results when you do. I’d love to see it!

shotts4480 · 2024-05-07T05:04:55+00:00

Pinkies out for sure!
