Cherry Rim Plates
In general I really dislike sanding. So, I find more often than not I end up looking for another solution to finishing a surface than spending hours sanding away in a dusty room. And carving is a great way to finish a surface after rough turning on the lathe. It takes a bit of time, but the result is a richer surface with more character.

These plates have been carved inside and out. The top edge of the rim, and the bottom of the plates have been smoothed with planes and lightly sanded. Making for a pleasing combination of smooth and textured surfaces.

Linseed Oil Finish
After carving I applied a heavy coat of linseed oil. Linseed oil is a slow curing oil, that will help protect the wood from water and food stains. Each plate is supplied with a small tin of beeswax and linseed oil mix, making it easy to occasionally re-freshen the surface.

Modern furniture inspired by Japanese traditional woodwork

Big Sand Woodworking started out in a cabin in the woods of Northern Minnesota, across the road from Big Sand Lake. It was in that small cabin that I started to develop a modest workshop after attending a lutherie school for guitar building. The guitar construction program led the way to other avenues of woodworking such as furniture making, cabinetry and carpentry, followed by a stint in art school which led to even more exploration of the craft with carving and wood turning. Eventually I found myself in NY and started to work and learn from a carpenter who exclusively does traditional Japanese woodwork. I quickly fell in love with the tools and techniques used in Japanese traditional work, and in 2019 my wife and I moved to Japan, where I am continuing to learn and explore the craft, working with a traditional carpentry company, while also producing and designing furniture and wood turnings.
