Zebrawood Table by Jared & Surang Cook


Beautiful table constructed out of roughly 30 BF of our 4/4 Zebrawood lumber.

We remember laying out all of the pieces of lumber on the floor of our warehouse and helping Jared & Surang figure out which ones would look nicely next to one another. We think the table turned out great.

It's always fun to get involved in the projects of our clients and helping out with parts of the design.
It makes our job even more fun!

Pretty pieces of lumber at discounted prices in our "one-off" rack!


This is a section of our lumber rack where we group unique pieces from prior loads and discount them by 10%.

Some of these pieces are really neat and hard to find.




If you don't mind digging through the lift, there are some real gems at great prices that can be used for a variety if projects.




There is a little bit of everything in the rack- figured exotics, domestics (see pic of claro walnut above), crotch, small slabs, etc.



Some of our clients only concentrate on this rack when they drop by the shop knowing that they can find some great pieces at great prices.




Check out this pieces pictured above-

10 foot piece of "real" genuine mahogany from the 1950's. This is the golden brown tight grained stuff and not that salmon colored junk that most wood shops try to pass off as mahogany. And at 10% off you can't beat it!




We aren't going to lie- some pieces have cracks and are oddly shaped, but we figure at the right price there is a use for everything here at the shop.

(At 14 inches wide and at a discounted price, we are sure one or two of you can find a use for the pretty piece of zebrawood pictured above!)

Feel free to drop by the shop and dig through the rack to see what you can find. If you don't know where to look, just ask for the "one off" rack and we will point you in the right direction.

Design in Wood '09

The "Design in Wood" exhibit just opened up the San Diego County Fair last week.

Its always fun heading down to the show to see what some of our customers have been up to with some of our woods. Year after year we are always amazed with the work that is on display. With everything from intarsia to furniture there is a little bit of everything at the display.


Here is Dean Moore's entry for this year-"Jewelry Armoire" out of Cocobolo and Curly Koa. Our pictures do not do it justice, this Jewelry box is pretty incredible-
To see Dean's box from last year Click here


19 year old Kyle Toth had one of his bats on display out of Bloodwood and Maple
Check out his Purpleheart bat by Clicking here, very nice work.
Here are a couple sculptures by Kenneth Glaze out of Pink Ivory and Mexican Kingwood

Here is a chest by Local Woodworker Terry Hansen. The Cherry and Walnut didn't come from us but we are pretty sure most of the woods on the top came out of our shop.
It easy to get lost checking out all the different woods in his designs, a little bit of everything-Cocobolo, Bocote, yellowheart, bloodwood, wenge, black palm, goncalo alves, marblwood and more-Its seems as though he has every type of exotic in his boxes.





Del Cover is one of the most highly respected woodworkers in our area. Here we see a floating seat rocker out of wenge and some figured Bubinga.
Check out the massive Cluster Maple Table he made a while back by clicking here


We are almost positive this is one of our 1.5" thick Bubinga Slabs in a table by Rick Moen. Check out the figure in this piece! We still have a couple of these slabs left as of 6-21-09




Here is a Cabinet by local woodworker Jose Eguez out of some of our Wenge and a nice figured piece of Black & White Ebony-that stuff sure is pretty.





Here are some other nice pieces at the show. Can't remember who they are by but we remember having a similar piece of zebrawood in our shop with that sap line-it wouldn't surprise us if it was indeed our wood, either way its a pretty piece.

Look at this piece out of Padouk, it reminds us of a bar that was constructed down in Little Italy in Downtown San Diego in a high end restaurant out of our Padouk with a similar design, very nice.



Another piece by Terry Hanson, we love that design.



Looks like some tulipwood and some curly euc. What else do you see?

Look at this desk out of Ziricote by Jerry Beaudry. Looks like solid Ziricote throughout no Veneers!

Everywhere you look different pieces of all shapes and sizes-


Several turned objects at the show as well, we tried taking some pictures but its kind of tricky taking pictures of objects behind glass-sorry...


Here is another amazing piece by Del Cover that won the Woodcraft Magazine "Award for Excellence in Design".
Its is titled "Balboa Park Bench" and is modeled after the historic Balboa park area here in San Diego.
Tons of different woods in this piece-Check out the wenge in those seats...


Jason Lane actually stoped by the shop earlier in the day and mentioned he had this piece in the show.
This piece is titled "Bow-Tie Lectern" and is constructed out of some of our Ziricote.



There was also a very nice display at the front of the exhibit honoring the late Sam Maloof.
Two of his rockers were also on display which was a nice to see.


The show is going on through the first week of July- we recommend checking it out if your in the area.
