#2901 Tall Case Cabinet
Recycled wood with live edge accents combine with relief-carved Chestnut for a stunning effect. A Chestnut Oak table project is delivered to the Gertner Barn.

#2902 Hearth Chair
A centuries-old three-legged chair recreated with White Oak and Walnut is curiously perfect and comfortable. Bandsaw tune-up and blade selection are covered for perfect cuts.

#2903 Green Bowl Turning
Honey Locust from log to home is used to make the ultimate salad serving bowl. This 44-pound green wood bowl blank is turned into a three-pound graceful kitchen masterpiece. Bandsaw tips save the day when making this rough bowl blank. Guest turner Barry Todd shares his latest turned creations. Plus, a visit to Catch My Drift (driftwood art) at the Brubaker Studio.

#2904 Tool Tote
The ideal curved handle tool tray. Hand-cut through dovetail joints add strength and elegance to the handy way to store key tools. Reclaimed woods include Kentucky Coffee Tree and Osage Orange. Scott harvests a burl tree for future projects and a tree service company shares logging techniques.

#2905 English Cricket Table
This 300-year-old round table was traditionally a cricket game centerpiece. Recreated from American Chestnut, quarter-sawn White Oak and Mahogany, the triangular shelf holds three angled legs perfectly. A geometric challenge comes together with dominoes. A timber mill cuts live edge slabs for the ultimate
display table show.

#2906 American Miniature Benchtop Chest
This miniature chest is perfectly sized to enhance any tabletop. Two router jig half- blind dovetail drawers are the key to this elegant mix of woods. Visit the Dave Moser Kiln to see how small batches of wood can be cured.

#2907 Tall Vase Turning
A log is transformed into a beautiful vase by a series of wood turning techniques. The trick is to keep this 50-pound spinning “trunk” balanced! Sometimes making wood behave can be challenging. The reward for a job well spun is to have done it! Guest turner Brary Todd shared his latest turned creations.

#2910 Custom Knives and Keep Trays
Special tempered stainless-steel blades are finished with custom wood handles called scales. Spectra ply is turned for the big knife, Purple Heart is used on the gift knife and two others must be seen to be believed. Also, crown molding is cut to make a perfect tray!

#2911 Treasure Box
