Here is some of mine. I do about anything, but oils are my favorite. I sometimes do artwork based on historical places I have detected such as the camp scene here entitled "Camp Georgia." That's a local Confederate winter camp and I dug a hut pit right where it shows the tent and that's me sitting there. Lucky to be able to make money from creativity.

poured and polished copper cross.....used copper scrap that I found treasure hunting......somthing pretty from my scrap.

here is a small table/bench....it was made from 3 consecutive slices of the same cuban mahogany log. Partner said this log was a waist of time to cut. There are no fasteners, and it is all mortise and tenon and glue for construction. Its coted in acrylic urethane for wear and uv resistance. I believe in using every bit of these logs as I can, and we used a slice from this waist of time log for the telecaster also....haaa I proved the point to my partner that even the blondest and most plain wood we have is spectacular !!

My closest to art is semi-practical.







The latter one is a real effort. There is no thread used. Three pheasant tail fibers, bare copper wire and a hook. They sink great but are a cast-iron snitch to tie.

I have always wanted to tie flies I love to fly fish,and I love detail work, that probably involves a lot of patience.

Very nice, I love natural wood furniture.

I have photographed many high profile music artists over an 8 year period, much of it close portrait work. I am also a landscape photographer. Here is one of my shots of the Tulsa Rambler, The Master of Space and Time, Leon Russell, about two years before his passing RIP.

here's how it all starts for us....cutting the old fashioned hard way. You start breaking the trees down into slabs, cants, and lumber.....from there you can take it even further and cut out your furniture parts. We can then sell the slabs or even complete cut logs or boules !! Some of our bar top size slabs are 12 ft. Long 28 inch wide and 3 inches thick. We sell these big cuban mahogany bar tops for 5-7 thousand a slice. Its up in the top range in price and is one of the most coveted woods on the planet. Its endangered, protected, and rare. It is against the law to harvest without a permit that has been signed off on by a biologist/arborist. It truly is a treasure and I'm super lucky to be able to urban log these treasure trees !!

I'm not an artist but have been a bricklayer \ stone mason for over 40 years. So this is as close to "art" as I'll ever get.

There is not an artistic bone in my body...

However my wife is loaded with talent, she is a silversmith.

Easier to add a link to her website.....

I disagree being a bricklayer/stone mason is an artist, don't discount yourself.There are plenty of examples of the artistry in buildings all over this planet.My Grandfather was a stone mason also.

Thanks for posting your mill vid Bart! Here's a couple pics of mine along with a cutting board I just finished for my daughter out of that bay wood I was talking about. Bay wood in the middle bordered in pine. It's got fantastic grain but the trees I had are not huge. The cutting board was made of 1/2" x 1 1/2" strips glued with the edge grain showing like butcher block.
