I thought it might be fun to try something different. I picked up the knife from Woodcraft, I am using some Ziricote and Ebony for the handle that I picked up from the scrap bin at Rockler. I finished the wood with Tru Oil.

I got my shelving project all done. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I also learned the value of a straight piece of wood. Doing precision work gets a little pointless when the wood you are using is warped.

Oh well, it still came out ok.

Today I began work on making myself a functional shelving system. I’ve accumulated a lot of tools since I started woodworking and I only have a few shelves. So I designed a simple system that will fit into my existing workplace.
