I recently spent about 4 days doing a full clean of the shop. Went over every bit of wood tucked here and there, sorted some dead-end projects and re-arranged a bunch of stuff in the loft.
It doesn’t look like that anymore - the next day I bought a bunch of white pine boards and stacked them up there. Some things went right into the stove - but I found a couple of things worth saving - one carved panel and two carved bowls. I’ve brought them down, cleaned them up and have them for sale. Not new, but not used. Priced accordingly. If you’d like any one of these items - send me an email and I can send a paypal invoice. That’s the simplest way to deal with them. If you’d rather send a check, that’s fine too. Peterfollansbee7@gmail.com
A carved panel, SOLD white oak with linseed oil finish highlighted with iron oxide/linseed oil paint.
I carved this leftover panel for a youtube video that accompanies the first set of carving drawings Jeff Lefkowitz and I worked on a couple years back. Clearly I’m never going to build anything around this panel - so you can, or just hang it on a wall as is. Vertical or horizontally.
W: 10 1/4” H: 16 1/2” thickness about 3/4”

Two carved bowls.
Tulip poplar, which tells me these started out when I was teaching bowl carving at Roy Underhill’s Woodwright’s School - and we shot a TV episode too. Each bowl I made there started as a full-round log section, got split in half and one half became a bowl - the other half became a bowl-blank. So I brought a few home and finished these two. Then stashed them in the loft. At some point after watching Dave Fisher carve bowls enough - I re-cut these. Then put them back up there. Finished with food-grade flax oil.
Bowl #1

Upcoming - these boxes are what I’m working on now - both should be done and for sale by Friday. If all goes according to Hoyle. One “standard” (will have a typical plain lid) and one deluxe:
(“deluxe” = carved lid - that lid took 2 whole days of carving...)
These will be the last boxes til January. Details later in the week.
wow, congratulations--you got a lot done. Saw a bit of the Bowdoin chair--I guessing it's that chair--in the the cleaned loft shot.
