Here is Frank helping Anna with a pear bowl she's turning for her mother-in-law, Sylvia:
And the finished product:
This is the tractor seat stool that Bob made as a special gift for his niece Laura. This is the first piece of seating furniture he's made, and presented many new learning opportunities: the hand carving of the seat, the compound angles of the legs, figuring out where to drill the holes, and turning 4 matching legs and 4 matching spindles on the lathe. The seat is mahogany and the legs are ash.
Anna learned how to use the router to make the mortises for this table, and she also used chisels to square up the mortise holes. In addition, she turned the top on the lathe and spent many hours sanding and finishing this traditional round cherry table for her sister-in-law Gayle:
Bob drew up the design and built this Stickley-inspired cherry footstool based on one that we own. He also did the cushion and upholstery. Anna helped finish it...
And finally, a true collaboration of skills went into this brass hammer for Bob's dad, Stan. The brass came from a job site of Frank's, and his old friend drilled the hole in it. Frank graciously gave it to me and Bob to make a hammer out of it. Anna turned the handle out mahogany, Bob finished turning it and put the designs on it, and Frank put it all together with the wedge.
