I had this idea for about half a year, but never had the will or time to carry it out.
There I present a beautiful woodwork examples, that I found on the internet and I make few humorous posts that are related to woodworking.

These works of art and the jokes are for adults only !
So check this site out by clicking on those lovely lady’s

My new crest stem

My colleagues could not understand why I do it, they said, “Go into a shop and buy one”.
But I am woodworker and I’d like to make it by myself.

When I made the gluing , I thought that I shall give it a little twist:

1. You know the wood species of each of the splinters in your hands.

2. You line up your splinters after removing them from your hands and try to identify them.

3. when driving the wife wants you to look at a nice house and all you see is the trees around it.

4. You cut a huge gash in your thumb with a chisel and instead of being concerned about the blood spilling from the wound, you’re proud that you honed the chisel to razor-sharp. At least the cut will heal faster!

5. You dream about tools, sometimes even daydream.
