How would you go about preserving a live edge that will ultimately be used as part of a guitar?

What about it?

This piece of wood will eventually be the body of a guitar! My initial thought is to use several very thin layers of epoxy, but after the first go I realized that is going to pool up pretty in the low spots. That may just have to happen, but I wanted to check for some advice before going further The ideal result would be completely secure bark that can survive a LOT of handling but still has the texture and feel of bark. Any ideas?

I'm doing my first craft show and I'm not sure what to expect. But I'm batching out some pens!

What about it?

Honestly, I'm planning to not do a lot of selling but it'll make for a fun Saturday. Anyone out there have any advice? I'll take with a grain of salt.

Any suggestion what to do with this (besides burning it). Not sure what type of wood either.

Nothing quite like the smell of wood and a newly built workbench!

Sealing a Wood Cabinet for a Terrarium

What about it?

We have tropical house plants and I want to build a terrarium. I bought a wood hutch/cabinet before considering the humidity aspect. I'm curious if anyone has suggestions on sealing the wood to prevent mold. I bought flex seal liquid rubber after a little research but I'm skeptical about how well it's going to work. Has anyone tired this before ? I think it might be more hassle then it's worth.

Second Solo work today!

What about it?

Same process as before. Only problems are that 1) the wings aren’t symmetrical and 2) the wood burner broke. Anyone have any recommendations for good budget wood burners?

Old Ironsides glued up all right

What about it?

First time making a table top and I decided to go the completely inadvisable route and attempt to build a 3 inch thick solid white oak coffee table. I thought it would be cool to see a log-like amount of end grain. Let me tell you, it was a real treat milling these f***ers down from basically railroad ties. At 32 x 64 I think it weighs somewhere around 200lbs, not including the base. Got plenty of cleanup work to do on the edges but I think the glue up came out all right considering what I was working with. Maybe it’ll turn into a taco in a year but these babies have been drying since 2020 so I got my fingers crossed…

Hybrid Butcher Block Shelves I Made

What about it?

Redwood and butcher block shelves with a welded steel frame. Link to build video in my profile!

First attempt at a shadowbox for a recent retiree

Any tips on re-repairing drawer front that falls off for an unskilled layman?^ Used wood glue last time and it didn't hold.

I got a new helper in the shop. Looks like a handy little fellow.
