Over the years, we've been pretty fortunate to have a knowlegeable staff of woodworkers working for us. In what seems like an eon ago, Kevin here helped us build our first website and built our lumber shipping program. He's moved on to other interesting things such as doing wood turning demos for Robert Sorby tools and making custom turned #artwork. Anyway, here he is spinning some wood at the Tennessee Area Woodturners Symposium today. Check it out of you're in the area. #Repost @kevin.bedgood with @repostapp ・・・ Using the Sorby Spindle Master at the demo for the Tennessee Area Woodturners Symposium. What a spectacular tool! Super clean finish right off the tool. Stop by and say hello, we'd love to meet you. #robertsorby #robertsorbytools #woodturning #lathe #woodboxes #woodart #woodwork #lagunatools #woodlathe #turnedwood #woodworking #woodworkersofinstagram #handcrafted
What a cool little project! This turned bowl set locks into a walnut serving tray, crafted by Josh Riddle. The design even gives a little nod to mid-century modern design. *don't forget* American walnut is 25% off at Woodworkers Source this month.

American walnut always looks good in a sweet handmade project. This trivet by Dave Fuller is called Route 66, can you see it? Don't forget, American walnut lumber is our special feature this month. 25% off and over 15,000 board feet on hand. *link in bio* . . . . #woodworking #handmade #madebyhand #handcrafted #craftsmanship #customwood #woodwork #cuttıngboard #woodworkerssource #maker #makers #builtnotbought #woodworkersofinstagram #wood #walnut #sawdust
Here's another (fun?) fact about knots in lumber. In the upper grades, knots will be located near the ends or edges so they're easier to work around. Likewise, they'll be tight or sound so that if needed you can touch them up with a little filler - arguably embracing all the charm, grace and pizzazz that's only found in wood. Happy woodworking, y'all. #woodworking #woodwork #woodworkingtips #customwood #builtnotbought #madebyhand #handmade #maker #woodworkersofinstagram #wood #woodart #woodworkerssource #walnut
Woodworking tip of the day: Knotty, But Nice The most joyful, exuberant curly and flame figure you'll ever find in boards of walnut (actually in any kind of wood) will be found right next to knots. That's because there's all kinds of tension and grain changes happening right where branches form . . . and branches make knots, knots make cool figure. This is the yin and the yang of woodworking, my friends. It ain't easy to have one without the other. Embrace it, enjoy it, raise a glass to it. #woodworking #lumber #walnut #woodwork #customwood #builtnotbought #madebyhand #handmade #maker #handcrafted #handmade #custommade #wood #natural #manglitter #knotty
Folks, we really enjoy seeing your woodworking projects, and appreciate getting tagged when you happen to use some wood you got from us! Hope to see more in 2017.

Another creative example of woodsmithery at it's finest. This serving board uses the natural colors of maple, cherry and walnut to create an illusion of a basket weave pattern. Project by Mike Shove.

Happy December, folks. I doubt I *neeeeeed* to say this but still: if you're going to make some kitchen accessories as gifts this year, check out maple 🍁 as one wood to use. It's hard, beautiful, durable, and it's just the thing for projects that are going to undergo some use. And, like in this gorgeous cutting board by Robert Petrillo, you can add awesome contrast to it with just a little bit of cherry, walnut, or something exotic. Maple is 25% off at your buds at Woodworkers Source (how handy!) This month, too! #fistbump Happy woodworking, link in bio........ #woodworking #custommade #woodwork #handcrafted #handmade #madebyhand #customwood #woodshop #artwork #wooddesign #cuttingboard #make #makesomething #art #woodworkerssource
