Here’s one of the newest additions to the Treescape collection. I’ve been experimenting with painted backgrounds on some of these. What do you think? 15” X 12” walnut, ash, stainless steel and various hardwoods. #woodworking #walldecoration #wallartdecor #treescapes #homedecor

Making progress on some multicolored “boards” for a new project… These are much easier and faster than the curved ones I’ve done in the past. #woodworking #woodscraps

It wasn't planned, but today turned into Frame Fabrication Friday. Batching them out like this is a time-saver, but my frame-specific miter jig might need an upgrade soon. Next up, filling those frames with content... #woodworking #pictureframe

Successful supply run to @woodshedlumber today. I have lots of projects on the to do list and I couldn’t pass up a few deals on interesting wood for future use. Maybe a bigger storage rack should be at the top of my list…. #woodworking #woodworkingontario

Our old plastic tree was losing its charm so I made a new one… This one flat packs and has a one-of-a-kind appearance. If it weren’t for CNC, I’d be pattern cutting well into the new year!

It may be snowing out at the moment but it's still technically autumn and this brings back memories of the lovely fall we had here in southern Ontario. Made from walnut, ash, stainless steel and a variety of colourful hardwoods. 27" x 13" #homedecor #wallartdecor #woodworking #woodworkingart #natureinspireddesign

This was the first project for my #altmill cnc. They are replacement hand rails for the boat I crew on. Yeah they could have been made with a pattern but the speed, safety and accuracy of the cnc made quick work of them…although the 10ft length was a bit of a challenge. Now I have something to hold to during those rough Wednesday night summer races! #woodworking #sailing #cncwoodworking #siencilabs #portdoveryachtclub

My #altmill from #siencilabs has been a game-changer in the shop! It’s been up and running for a few months now and I’m loving the endless new possibilities for creativity that it brings.

Well, there it is…first paddle! 21 months after starting the build including two winters and a very disruptive relocation the paddleboard finally hit the water for the first time. Not the lake I was expecting but it was a beautiful morning out there and the water is much warmer than Huron. The board paddled well and seems to be faster than my store bought one. I can’t comment on how it handles waves because there were none…for the entire 2 hours I was out there. Great first day on the board!

IG hiatus over… Here’s one of two table and chair sets I’ve been working on the past few months. The seat bottoms still need upholstery but everything else is pretty much finished. Between the steel parts and all the curved wood pieces, I’ve made a lot of jigs and fixtures this winter….

Let’s call this finished! There are a few minor items to complete but it’s about 99% there and I need to free up some space in the shop. Timing is less than perfect…winter weather is here so a first paddle will have to wait for spring but I’ll try to get a proper photo shoot done before then. Thanks to everyone who has been following along as this project slowly took shape.

Needed to jog my memory on how to polish varnished parts so I started with the fin for practice. Sanding up to 2000 grit removes any defects in the finish and then machine polishing using a couple different compounds brings the gloss back. The fin is done and now it’s time to start the same process on the board…

Spent about 36 hours straight fiberglassing or hot coating epoxy every 4 hours or so. The bottom still needs another fill coat but it’s almost there. I debated how to do the fiberglassing but ended up using this method to maximize bonding strength and minimize sanding between coats. It worked well despite the lack of sleep. Trimming and sanding up next...

Installed the fin box and sanded it flush. I wanted a removable fin so I used a design similar to many commercially made boards. This was the last part to make and add to the board. Next step is final sanding before moving on to fiberglass.

Working on some of the small parts and interior details for the paddleboard. Not too glamorous but necessary. The carrying handle and mounting plates for the fin are almost done. I’m going with a removable fin to make storage and transportation easier. Also added some internal blocking for mounting the fin.

Picking away at some of the small parts required to finish the board while glue dries on the latest strip added to the bottom sheet. The fin still needs a bit of work and a layer of fiberglass but I think it’s coming out nicely so far.

Started working on the bottom sheet for the paddleboard. Figured I’d use most of the offcuts and scraps from the deck and make something interesting. This is only the center of the bottom...the sides will be a bit more traditional.

Just glued down the last two half strips on the rails of the paddleboard. It feels like this is the end of the difficult part since the bottom is flat and will be made in a single piece. We recently had our first warm-ish day of the year reminding me to get moving on this project because summer is coming...eventually.
