Heres some tournament spec cornhole boards I made. Sealed the frame with truck bed liner and put 6 coats of paint and 3 coats of laquor on the tops to smooth them out.

Hello everyone, I just wrapped up a bamboo project, and it was fun, challenging, and time-consuming. This was a request from a previous client to recreate a full replica of a dilapidated handrail. I took it down, measured everything, and prefabricated the new pieces off-site. Bamboo definitely works differently from typical wood. It is strong and lightweight, but you have to respect it. Pre-drilling was key to avoiding splitting, and even then, you have to be careful. I also created multiple jigs to drill holes where the smaller bamboo pieces met at different angles. I used a hole saw to shape the ends so the transitions and joints aligned cleanly, held tightly, and followed the natural curvature of the poles. Fresh saw blades are a must since bamboo tends to splinter and peel. I did a light sanding and finished it with a protective sealant formulated for bamboo, which helped bring out the color and even everything out. I also incorporated braided seagrass accents to hide joints and transitions. It added a really nice texture and paired well with the bamboo. Overall, I am happy with how it turned out and would love to know what you think. It was a great change of pace from standard materials. I am heading back this weekend to finish a few sections with more braided seagrass and am considering adding a spar urethane to the seagrass portions for extra protection. Curious what others are doing for finishing and long-term durability with bamboo and seagrass... Update: Project complete; pics added. I decided against the urethane because I wanted the fibers of the grass too remain pliable and I already had a coat of sealer on them anyway; I just added another coat. Thanks for checking it out! -Mark

Made this to use a part of the garage. Used an h frame for the folding legs. Now looking at how to lock them folded. Found some strong magnets on Amazon and gonna give it a shot. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I love making something unique I haven't made before to a clients expectations (hopefully exceeding them). This is a an electronics console, featuring waterfall ends, chamfered front, dovetailed undermount drawers, brass hardware, and lots of grooved openings for ventilation. The client was very specific, he wanted it 75"L x 21"W x 21"H.

I finally built an all in one workbench to keep all my woodworking tools on. I still have a few things left to do on it. Need to add some trim on the top and add some t-track on the top. Sorry for the mess. Its still being organized while building a few projects.
