Giant pizza peel being created for The Wander Inn in Long Island New York.......UPDATE

This peel is completed and being packed for shipment.

Very soon it will be preparing those large 28+ inch pizza's being created at the Wander Inn in New York.

This large custom Pizza peel is being created for he Wander inn in Long Island New York. It measures in with a over 28 inch square paddle and a two foot handle.

Here is the initial glue up as the project begins. using pieces of a local birch they are biscuited together and clamped for 24 hours to achieve a strong bond.




Here is the backer board being sized up prior to glue up.
With the weight of a 28 inch pizza the handle and back of peel is made stronger by adding a strip of one inch thick wood.





This is gluing the backer board to the handle and a portion of the paddle.















The blue tape marks the edges of the valley which I put in each board to ensure the pizza has a smooth transition valley to slide into the oven.







Now the handle has been cut to shape and the planing and sanding begins to shape the handle and paddle to the final shape.


More to follow later...now back to the shop for me.

Large Hard Maple Lazy Susan..................Delivered and Loved

This large Lazy Susan will be used to place condiments and serving plates on for many years to come. It was recently delivered to its new owners and received welcoming raves by them. They were very pleased with the end product.



The top will be a 23 inch diameter circle with a metal mechanism attached to a smaller 13 inch base. This photo shows the top being glued and clamped.



This is the top board with the clamps off and after being cut out using a CNO router.






This is the base which will be attached using the metal bracket below.




Here is the top after being sanded and awaiting the first coats of poly. Polyurethane was used to allow it to be cleaned in case food was spilled on it while being used.




This is a 12 inch metal fitting to allow the top to turn. It has stainless steel ball bearings inside a sealed unit. It must first be attached to the base and then two holes were drilled to allow access to screw positions on the top part.





This is a side view that shows the height of it and the metal bracket between the two.






And here is the final product with it polyed surface.

This was picked up by the client and they loved the fact that a need was met. They had looked everywhere for a lazy susan this large and had been unable to find one this size until meeting me at a local Arts show.
I am sure this will grace the table of many family/friends gatherings and will serve them well for years to come.

Giant Dark Walnut Cribbage board.....

Here is a giant Dark walnut cribbage board which was recently delivered to its new owner.

It was around 32 inches long, 9 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches thick.
I routered a slot on the back to hold the custom metal pegs that came with the board.


The grain in this board as you can see was really nice and loved by the client. It was given to him as a birthday present from his wife.

Custom LARGE Cribbage Board...............

This is the beginning of a very large custom cribbage board. I created this layout on the computer using CorelDraw, then ran through an Epilog laser to burn the hole layout. I will now lay this over a piece of rolled steel and drill the pattern, which will be in turn used to drill the final board.

The final product will be about the size of a card table, roughly 30 inches wide by 36 inches long. It will probably be built out of a piece of local fir/larch.

It is being created for a client who will give it to a group of folks living in a retirement home.
Every day this group of six play cribbage on several little boards on separate tables.

This board will allow them to all play together. It is a real joy to be part of this project.
