Figured and exotic wood in other than guitars

[11top]

i went to a local artisan’s show at the Indiana State Fairgrounds yesterday. There was lots of work by woodworkers, but this piece especially caught my eye:



Each piece in the walnut frame is webbed together with 600 lb. monofilament. As a result, not only was this piece stunning, it was very comfortable! It wasn’t inexpensive at $3,600.

That looks like the kinda chair you'd find in Indiana.


I have some maple coat hangers with flame on them... seems like kind of a waste.

Not if you’re into coat hangers.

You could hang your Elvis outfits on ‘em.

Very cool. Please don’t send a copy of this to my wife.

I have been looking at some very interesting wood tables. One of the local builders uses a lot of walnut.

You might be right - I’m heading towards rocking chair age.

I wouldn't call them figured or exotic, but I have a couple wood bowls that are pretty cool. My uncle made one(not pictured) that I put all my guitar picks in. This shallow one is flipped upside down here:

The bowl is beautiful. The quilt in the headstock - Meh!











Just kidding what a beauty!
