This is my Grandfather's burial flag. The pic in the corner is him in the captain's seat of a 747. He logged over 35,000 hours with 7+ years in the Navy and 32 years with Eastern AL. Yes, he was my hero and man does he have some signatures on his short-sn-order(he wasn't a drinker, so he pronounced it differently). The case is bloodwood and bird's eye maple; some laminated and some inlayed. Alan, the 'glass' on this one is UV lexan...easy to cut.

Greg, Your occupation as a custom woodworker isn't a understatement! Very nice. Of coarse your engine isn't bad ether!!! I knew from some of yur posts that you had wood in your blood. How about some more pictures?
I'll have to see what I can dig up too! |

Since this is a "family" site, I probably shouldn't post the pictures of the work I do with my wood.

I did a fair bit of woodworking, but soon my standards eclipsed my abilities (damn you Fine Woodworking magazine!).
Honestly, lack of space and time led me to sell off the tablesaw, jointer, planer, etc. Now I design the things I need and contract talented people to make it. |

Thanks Alan, I do have some more, but I got it started. Let's see if any of your 'closet woodworkers' care to share. ![]() |

Very Nice Greg,
It'll take me few days to dig out my old photos and scan them, been about 7-8 years since I did anything serious but there are a few pieces I'm pretty happy with. I'm sure you've got plenty more, let's see um. |

Thanks Lefty, and they have a touch of both but are americana. DTB does everything from rock to zydeco with reggae and cajun mixed in. RRE is bluegrass mostly...maybe a sort of rock-bluegrass. |

Nice woodworking Greg
If it needs to be made out of concrete or steel, I can handle it. When it comes to woodworking, forget it. Although, I did redo my swim platform, and surprisingly, it came out great. BTW, are those bands Country, or Western? ![]() Steve |

Nice looking work Greg. I need new teak strips for my step pads on the BFN made. When can I drop off the teak?

Alan, you suggested I start this a while back...so here goes; and thanks man, you literally saved this one for me!
This is the project I was working on when I got his good advice on glass cutting. It's a concert memorabilia case Amy asked me to make, and it will soon be full of keepsakes from Donna the Buffalo and Railroad Earth shows. The case is 31x21 and is brazilian cherry and soft maple. The purple cloth is over cork for pins. I wish I was a better with a camera...the richer color is actual. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
