Yes, it is store bought. I was going to make my own, but found this antique solution at Lowe’s. I don’t remember the brand, I’ll have to check when I get a chance.

Happy to see you back to your saw Brenda! Just take care of yourself and listen to what your body tells you.

This is a Steve Good pattern. Made four sets. Three sets sold for $250 each. The fourth was gifted to my Mother- in law. All figures made from solid hardwoods including Aspen, Yellowheart, Purpleheart, Sapele Red Oak Walnut and Mahogany. The stable is laminated pine with an antique solution. The base is 3/8 Baltic Birch.

It is readily available Ray. I can find it at Woodcraft. There are two hardwood dealers in Ventura County that carry it: Conejo Hardwoods and stone in Thousand Oaks and Myan hardwoods in Camarillo. Also there is an online wood dealer in Arizona called Woodworkers Source. Of course these sources only sell 4/4 thick boards, so you have to mill to the thickness you need. Just today, I needed 1/4” board for Christmas gifts. I had a 4’ Sapele board that I resawed on my table saw then planed to 1/4”. Out of that 4’ board I got 8 1/4” blanks!

An easy way to eliminate staining entirely is to us hardwoods to cut your ornaments. I use Cherry, Maple, Mahogany, Red Oak, walnut, Sapele and what ever I have on hand. Applying an oil based topcoat will bring out the natural color and grain of the woods. I sell hundreds of ornaments a year, not a single one stained or painted!

Well, I’ve known Marg for a long time, and I’m pretty sure she doesn’t leak. And she definitely isn’t a Lurker, she has near 20000 posts!

So, how did you do Jim?

Ditto what Kevin Said. If it’s new Excalibur, it’s made in China. I bought a Pegas saw and love it! It’s is made in Taiwan not China.

This was my first show since November of 2019. This is an annual Christmas Boutique at a local church. Been going on for over thirty years. I’ve been doing it for the last six years or so. I’ve always done very well at this boutique, and this year was no exception! They always place me near the entrance to woo the customers. Here are a few pics of my setup. Of course it changes as things sell. I have more stock than I can display, so the display will change as the weekend progress.

Dale, I think you can easily charge $40 or more if you apply a finish. The finish will bring out the colors of the woods and enhance the look of the baskets.

My wife too! I go in the coat closet to look for something and those dam Longaberger baskets start falling out! She’s a quilter too and now cross stitch!

Congratulations Craig, you will love it! I’ve had mine about seven months now, and I love it!
