Wild Woods by Ruth

Wild Woods by Ruth Woodworking for fun! Creating Beauty One Board at a Time. I love to use the wood's natural beauty and colors in the pieces I create.

I do not rely on stains and dyes. Most of my items are solid hardwood pieces made using traditional methods.

In December, I was asked to make another sourdough bread box for a super nice former co-worker. She wanted this for a birthday present for her daughter. Now that the March birthday has passed, here it is. The wood is solid Black Walnut and Cherry. The Walnut top is inlayed with a cherry and a walnut geometric design. Linda and her daughter both loved it. 🙂. Here it is.....

Wild Friday? I've been busy creating and this is my latest creation I made for our home. Our area is full of deer so I made a deer scene to go above the door that leads to the garage. The wood is solid cherry and the deer tracks are inlayed with a copper-colored epoxy resin. The pictures don't really do it justice but to say the least, I am pleased with how it turned out.

Wild Wednesdays Project Photo Addition:

NOT FOR SALE: I made this Kneading Board for a friend who loves to bake bread. She requested Birdseye Maple. I took it a step further and framed it in Black Walnut. I put breadboard ends on it. This is a double-sided board with raised edges on the front and back so that it stays in place against the counter top as she is kneading the dough. The board is HUGE. It's about 2 feet wide and over 2 feet tall and 3/4 inch thick. This board will be in the family for generations to come.

Wild Wednesdays Project Update: I just finished this project last week.

This is a project I built for our house. We upgraded to column refrigeration so I had to modify our existing cabinet to accept the taller units. But now the cubbyholes would be too narrow to use. I came up with an artistic approach to fill the void--a snow capped mountain scene with a river. There is also colored background lighting (colored alternating rope lights and an aurora light) to jazz it up a bit. The "mountain" wood is solid mahogany. The snow and river are epoxy inlays. Shown is one before photo and two after photos.

Thank you for looking at my projects....
