Live Edge Board Serving Tray

My wife has been after me to make her a serving tray from a live edge board.  I've never attempted this before, but thought why not!  It won't cost me a fortune, so I finally gave it a try.

I chose Ambrosia Maple for the wood.  It's 23" long.  It has four coats of Tung oil from Lee Valley Tools.  The colors in the wood just pop and it looks amazing.  I added two handles, also from Lee Valley. Success!

Barn Doors

 I made a set of barn doors for Kersta's barn in Pakenham.  Each door is 8' tall and close to 5' wide.  I chose to use Pine to make the doors.  A combination of 1x6"s 1x8"s and 1x6" T&G.  The doors each have a 24"x27" window.

These doors are heavy and hard to work with due to their size and weight.  I had to build a jig to hold the doors in order to work on them.

The doors started out as carriage doors, but Kersta really wanted Dutch doors.  So I converted them into dutch doors!  Enjoy!!

New X-Country Jump

I made this jump for my friends at Maplewood Equestrian Centre. Its 30" high made from 5/4" pressure-treated deck boards. Very sturdy.
