@@SkyValleyStudio The Greene reference instantly came to my mind when i saw the thumbnail of the video. So... if that was your intention - it worked :) a job well done and inspirational ! thank you
@@SkyValleyStudio discovered your channel only a while ago and slowly working my way through them. a treasure of information, which i am very grateful for. thank you for your work.
@faraskan Welcome! It’s comments like there that fine me incentive to keep it up. A lot of work goes into filming and producing. My husband produces the videos, and we both have busy schedules outside of Woodworking.
Happy New year you two. Looking forward to new vids! P.S. is/was there a Blacker arm chair project up your sleeves? (My favorite piece of furniture in the world) Hope to see you soon!
Happy New Year! We’ll have new videos coming out soon. I don’t have a Blacker stern chair video, but have you seen our series on the Gamble House Chair (our version)?
Man, I'm just running out of the door but saw this in my feed! Can't wait to watch later. I was surprised that you used mitres as opposed to finger joints, however I presume this will be addressed in the video when I watch it in full....
Three examples. Miters, finger joints, dovetails. And, of course, it could be done with butt joints. The dovetail is my favorite, but most difficult to get right.
@@SkyValleyStudio I thoroughly enjoyed the video now I had time to absorb it. A lot of the time I choose various aspects of designs to challenge or improve a technique or style I'm working on....I'd probably want to do Greene & Greene style finger joints purely because of the compound angles, then add a thin Ebony rim around the top with brass pinning, cinching the corners together with screws behind Ebony plugs. Very much how drawers were produced in the Blacker and Gamble houses. The mitres/splines and handles of this piece give it (to my eye anyway) somewhat of a hybrid G&G/prairie look. Serving trays are great projects, just by the nature of them providing a simple canvas onto which any sort of theme can be projected. Always a pleasure seeing you post new videos!
Cutting inlay requires a finer tooth set than thicker wood. Often, I’m cutting pieces that are no more than a half an inch thick and sometimes less. This means I need to have at least 6 to 12 TPI. Tensioning the blade correctly is necessary, as is having a good sharp blade. I have a video on sharpening blades that may help. Setting the guide blocks or bearings correctly both above and below is also critical. As for the brand, I’ve had acceptable success with Timberwolf, but better success with a ennox blade. My go-to general blade is an alternating 3/4 slip tooth Woodslicer.
Can I ask why you have not produced vids for the last 6 months. You are the equal of any RUclips carpentry vids. In fact you are way above many RUclips video producers. If you wish to answer me, from anywhere else. I am on Facebook. And of course Messenger. You will see a photo of my present Motorcycle. That’s me.
Thanks for the inquiry! My video producer / husband has been a bit preoccupied over the past few months. He’s working on getting some new videos out soon. Thanks for staying the course! It’s been a difficult last year. Stay tuned!

Very nice work!
Thanks! I hope it helps you make beatify pieces!
Those splines look so gorgeous sticking out. It reminds me of a Frank Lloyd Wright house.
The slightly proud accents is something the Greene brothers did. It adds visual appeal and begs to be touched. Thanks for the compliment!

@faraskan Absolutely Greene and Greene! Love the way their art form inspires. Have you seen my chair series?

Hi Sky. My bandsaw blade does not make very smooth cuts. What kind of blade do you like to use for cutting inlay?
Cutting inlay requires a finer tooth set than thicker wood. Often, I’m cutting pieces that are no more than a half an inch thick and sometimes less. This means I need to have at least 6 to 12 TPI.

What Are The Splines Made Of?
Ebony. Gabon ebony, to be specific!
