  • Starting with a hunk of butternut wood, I carved a set of handmade frames for a pair of custom reading glasses.
    This project is just one of many in a collaboration with other makers as part of the Butternut Challenge. Be sure to watch the others here: tinyurl.com/bu....

    The tight grain tells me that’s old-growth butternut, an excellent hardwood closely related to black walnut. Very slow growing, logging and butternut canker wiped-out the the trees from the era that chunk came from, iirc.
    I was given an old 1936 upright piano some 20 years ago. In the process of tearing it down and removing veneer (to restore), I found that the entire frame-including the soundboard-was entirely old-growth butternut. Super rare. You’re lucky to have that. And nice job, as usual.

    I was thinking about making a dolly for my motorcycle, weights 900 lbs. i was thinking about your single action castor lift, that would be perfect if I could work it out to drop the dolly to the floor while loading and unloading the motorcycle, then raise it to move it to store the motorcycle away when not needed. Do you think there is enough leverage with your single action castor lift to pickup 900 lbs motorcycle + the weight of the dolly??
