I carve tikis and Polynesian inspired bone pendants, and paint with Polynesian themes. Haven't touched the stuff in over 5yrs though, might revisit it one of these days.

Not something you ask a serial hobbyist.

I was busy in November making a smaller dining table of my own design for our home.
I've been collecting Canary Wood and Figured Western Maple for some time now, the legs are made from 12/4 American Black walnut $> spendy stuff.
Image
Here it is in the 36" wide x 48" long daily use size.
The dark spots are Walnut dowels for expansion/contraction issues with solid wood table tops.
Image
Here it is fully extended with two 15" x 36" leaves.
Love the way the finish makes the Figured Western Maple pop.
The chairs we will be using are the folding chairs ( in the photo) we purchased at Costco, easier and cheaper than building and easy to store.

Now it looks like (Jane's request & mine too) I'll be replacing the sofa end tables and coffee table I built in 1988 to match the new table.
The finish is spar urethane to prevent damage to the finish (it's waterproof) in the event of a undetected spill like on the previous veneered table.
:D Danny

In my spare time I like to build fiberglass longbows and recurves. Here are a few that I have built.

Very nice work, Tom. I always wanted to build one of those 50's style recurves, but I got stuck on selfbows and eventually ran into elbow problems that limited my tool use. Still love to shoot 'em, though!
The more stuff I take along, the more time I spend taking care of my stuff!

Thanks Js, I love making them. I haven't got the confidence to make a selfbows yet. Making a selfbow is on my to do list but first I have 2 projects I want to build before then. Which one is my teardrop camper and the second is a cedar strip canoe.
