Can I ask an expert? I have this rustic coffee table, unfinished as far as I can tell. How might I get rid of water rings and spots on it? And should I slap a coat of matte polyurethane on it, or something else? Keep in mind the texture of it is too rough for sanding.
I want to protect this table but maintain the rustic character.

Christmas Santa’s part three. Carved these about fifteen years ago from basswood. Very soft wood and forgiving but not a lot of grain so end up painting or staining final pieces.

Along the line of what Andre Riopel posted with the mobility chairs made from wood for kids, this is a snip from a video of my grandson riding his converted hoverboard to a go-cart. I copied the pattern from some YouTube videos, but I could convert one to a mobility chair as well.

If anyone is interested in one of these, I can help fit and put it together. I have qualifications in wheelchair fitting.

I am planning on building some rough basement shelving this winter. 16in deep, spanning 12ft. Hefty storage shelving with 2x4 framing. Instead of using blocking between shelves to carry the weight down, is it an ok idea to notch out my 2x4 vertical posts so that I can rest my shelving in the notches? Anything to be aware of here?
2x4 with a notch area marked to be cut out.

I'm just reaching out to see if there are any others in SSM who are into Sloyd and Green Woodworking? I've been thinking about starting a spoon carving club that could get together monthly to carve spoons and work on other green woodworking projects.

Polyurethane gluing a paddle grip from blade offcuts. This is a rubber glove job. The wood is dampened lightly with water first. Once set, it is permanent. The paddle shafts are made long so that work can continue while length is decided. The shaft offcuts will later become new grips of their own.

Birdseye maple leaf inlay on kayak hatch cover. Bookmatching cedar strips is a simple process done by numbering each strip as it is cut and adds symmetry.

Hey all. I moved to the Soo a couple years ago and am now working with the Carpenter's Local 2486, it's good, lots of work. I always enjoyed carpentry and cabinetmaking, though most of the work I do is commercial. Anyway, just wanted to pop on here and say hello

I made this comment in another woodworking post, but it bears repeating in its own post. Dull planer blades (knives) can be the bane of a woodworker. Good ones can be costly to buy, but my solution is 100% local. I take my planer blades to "The Cutting Edge" at 90 St. Andrews Terrace to be sharpened. The original blades I have on my planer were only sharpened on one side, ... the opposite side was just a raw blunt metal. They not only …

Stripping an old door with tons of paint on it. Anybody have their top tips for paint stripping. Tried the gel stuff but wasn’t too impressed. Our future bathroom will appreciate it!
