Nicely figured grain pattern
Odd shape. I named it “The Stump”. It’s big and clumsy.
Cute small pipe
Another odd shape. shape Was dictated by a bent branch
“The Finger”. Boring grain pattern. Gets the job done.
These new tools have two ends – one that packs and one that picks. The blunt end packs the bowl firmly and evenly. After a couple of puffs, the other end picks out the nasty burnt leaves and exposes fresh material. They are very ergonomically friendly in the hand.
Looking for name suggestions. The “Picker/Poker” is not it.
The Grizzly Spindle / Disc Sander will handle a variety of sanding tasks, particularly those involving curved edges and interior radiuses.
The Grizzly Spindle / Disc Sander. Should arrive in the Woodfisch’s shop August 25th.
The Redwing Polishing Lathe uses grinding wheels to sculpt fine details in the wood. Then buffing wheels are used to achieve a high gloss polished finish.
The Redwing Polishing Lathe was just acquired. Ordering grinding and polishing attachments.
MAGNUS..... THE PARTYTIME CHARWEEDERIE BOARD / TABLE
These pipes are made of rhododendron wood. The wood has a unique heritage. Used in a gazebo made by Japanese or German internees at the Greenbrier Hotel during WWII. For the complete story please visit my Woodfisch website at https://www.thewoodfisch.com/portfolio/bee
Made five rhododendron pipe prototypes. Wanted to experiment with the wood and get the feel for it. The color is quite varied. The grain pattern can be spectacular or boring. Closer to the root ball on the trunk the grain amps up with tiger striping that shimmers in the light. Since my supply of root ball material is limited, I did not wish to waste it with these prototypes.
Please bear in mind that these prototypes are not examples of what will come.
Having some friends over for an evening?
Having a party? This baby is the centerpiece for a great time.

stealth mode
During the day this stunning live edge elm tabletop rests in its cradle and functions as an end table, suitable for visits by Mom, Dad, or the boss. They know not what lies beneath. The charweederie board waits, in stealth mode, underneath and at the ready. When the time is nigh, you simply grasp the board by the two finger recesses and flip it over.
