Cherry Butternut

In process box. finished pictures in a few day I hope if I get time to finish it out.

 

Cherry with Butternut opposing grain inlays.

 

Recessed bottom floor that will be lined with Velvet.

 

Inlay carries through to the inside of the Lid. I see this box being hinged and a huge part of your desk.

 

Bottom of the box has machined in feet and relieved oval pocket to help keep box true and strait.

 

This one will be a looker when done. I have plans to make quite a few like this with many different exotic species of wood. I have some really nice lumber right now.

 

If you have some thoughts on what would make the perfect one for you please let me know.

Santos Mahogany

This wood is so incredibly dense and heavy. An absolute dream to machine.

This box is "Fully" 3-D machined inside and out, top and bottom. small ball end mills fully 3D contoured. Took a long time on the machine for such a small box requiring a lot of set-ups.

 

 Bottom of box with machine ball feet, and relieved on back to prevent warping,

 Inside 3D machined lid

 

If something like this interests you, I can make one for you or any other custom project you may want.

Lets Talk about Wood...........

Old versus new wood. which is better? Ill let you be the judge. whenever I do something custom for someone I always ask, do you want new wood or repurposed old wood that could be 85-100 years old?

 

Most say new, but they just don't understand......
 

OLD WOOD

 

You caught a glimpse of the machined "old wood" in the second picture.

 

Absolutely stunning, the grain this "old" wood has. This board looked like crap quite honestly but look after I made a cut. Don't judge a book by its cover. Its always amazing to see what is in that board. This is a prototype of what I am calling the "buck box" soon to be the "buck book". They will hold 20 of what ever denomination bills you have in your wallet and keep it relatively hidden. If you put it in the fire though its not my fault. The buck book will have an engraved spine to put on the shelf with the rest of your books.

Thanks for looking everyone. Please send some business my way. I will try and make that special gift work for you.

 

New Wood.... 

 

 

There is a lot to be said. If I am making something for someone I know, I opt for old wood. Why? It was originally something else. Now it is something for me. There is a legacy. It has been repurposed and has survived and will continue to survive. I made some items earlier this summer with wood I know was almost 100 years old. It will go on many, many more decades.

 

Mine may not be as good as the original purpose of the wood, but I kept it from the fire place.

Its always a blast to peel that layer back and see what you have to work with, I work pieces around the wood the best I can.

 

Please get in touch with me a billsbilletboxes@gmail.com

I would love to make something special for you.

 

Thanks

Possible custom Project for someone....

Can you guess who?

 

 

Leopard Wood anyone?

 Some new design bowls. Again some gorgeous leopard wood. Cannot wait until I get these done.

Bowls

These are made from some very special rarer woods. Wenge is the darker bowls, an Padauk is the redder colored one, resting on Zebra Wood. These still need to be finished completely but  I haven't posted in a while.

Revised

This one cuts machine time in half. This is right off machine un-sanded or finished in any way, but the ones shipped will be. however, I will offer these up for $38.00 with brass corners or $33.00 without. It will still have hanging device.

 

Hang on your front door, office door, crapper door, anywhere you think you want people to know whats up with the person behind the door.... and what they might expect.

 

Colors, sure what ever you want. Material, again you tell me and I will make it happen.

 

I will make the III ones at the lighter depth too and see how their times shake out. I will offer both though to anyone that wants the deeper ones too.

Also the helmet is Cherry wood where the III is Black Walnut. But both can be made from anything you like.

To get them to you. Drop me a note please.

 

Thanks for looking guys.

3D Hand carved look Helmet

In an effort to make these a bit more cost effective perhaps even in half, I have lightened up the depth of the relief by about 50% in hopes to reduce cycle time by half. I may get 25% here. I also increased step over of small .125 ball endmill some from .008 per pass to .011 per pass. this should yield pretty good results we will know in about 30 minutes. look for new design.

3D "Hand Carved" Look III Wall Plaques

Material Walnut or Cherry (or anything you want really). Dimensions are 3 1/4 x 5 inches. 3/4 inch thick. This particular piece is a repurposed walnut from over 80 years ago.

 

 

These Plaques are fully 3D machined with and 1/8th inch ball end mill and take over an hour to machine the relief alone.  Cost $75.00

This example is finished natural. Brass corners and wall mount included. without Brass corners cost $70.00. it will just have sharp square corners.

 

drop a note to billsbilletboxes@gmail.com if you are interested and I can get them out to you right away. Also they can be personalized if so desired. get with me for any details.

 

Thank you -Bill
