This is a custom frame we made with some exotic rosewood. as you can see the wood was too beautiful to square and miter like a traditional frame so we made a metal frame to the contour of the wood, we then used steel blocks in the corners,the steel was ground to the contour of the wood and then flame colored. as you can see I think the steel corners pulled the irregular wood together.
Tried to capture the beauty of these ice crystals on a small twig on a cold sunny morning walk with my Lucy, my dog and hiking partner.

Finally finished my wood stove and got it in the house. It is made from 1/4″ steel plate, the door is 1/2″, all moving parts were forged shaped and welded. no nuts or bolts. It was a fun project, Heats the whole house, great to turn the thermostat off

This is a project I took a small part in to mount a keepsake for someone who’s father carried this in ww2. I made the brackets to hold the pistol.
testing out the stove, almost done. I am happy the way it came out, especially the door. I was going to use it for my house but I think It is a little too big so I will make a smaller version. So now to make a “for sale” sign.

Just thought I’d post a picture of a shaker style wood burning stove I am making, Now that it’s getting colder, I am more inspired to finish.
