UH OH, you're in for it now dancers !!

Very nice wood working. I do a lot of that too. Or did before we started our RV sojourn. I have a very complete wood working shop in storage that I look forward to setting back up when we finally find a place to settle down.


Ah...another RV sojourner...we have been on the road since ‘12...and still loving it. I’m a retired LCDR submariner myself as well.

Wood Worker does not cover it by half. Master craftsman would be more accurate. The photographs aren't bad either.

What does being male or female have to with working with wood.?

I admire your work, especially the stool. I see an analogy between woodworking as you do it and fine photography. In both cases, you could just cobble together a photograph or a box or a stool, or you could come to the task with years of experience, a sense of aesthetics about the various parts of what you are seeking to accomplish relate to each other and the end goal. To put it another way, that box and that stool certainly aren't "snapshots".

Don't let your gender influence what you think you can do. I have seen some incredible woodwork done by the, ahh, so-called weaker half of our species.

Here are a few items "I designed" and made that might give me 'creds' for my moniker. Maybe more another time.

If you download the jewelry box and magnify the view, you can see that I hand-carved the sides of the box with a knife to give the appearance of being woven. The main parts are Mahogany from the Philippines. The wood was salvaged from High School gymnasium bleachers (that wood was an amazing find). It is 13" wide. The top center of the box is Birdseye Maple. The insides are felt lined (second picture). (Unfortunately, when these images were taken some time ago, they were quite dark. But the photography is not my focus here. The woodworking is.)

The "oak stool" top is "book matched" that I cut from a single piece of oak that was quite thick. The legs and stretchers are secured with Ebony pegs (no metal fasteners). The stool is extremely comfortable and we have used it many times as an extra chair at the table when many were eating. The seat is the same height as a normal dining room chair.

Hope you enjoyed my work. Now you know why I call myself "Woodworkerman."

Dancers you don't have to be male to do woodwork. I do a lot of things though not to the high standard of woodworkerman. my things are a bit more rustic like bird tables, hedgehog houses and door and window frames for my poly tunnel etc. I do enjoy it though which is the main thing and I did it myself... I also have made frames for my pictures.
