New England has had a lot of rain this year. I have some maple I want to use for a project and it keeps cupping. As it dries, it flattens back out, but it’s obvious when there’s more moisture in the air. I was thinking about putting it in one of those big vacuum bags with some rice to help dry it out.
Thoughts?

So, I could include a picture but I don’t need to. This is an ongoing blog about redoing my shop after having made it 5+ years ago to be more functional and not as ‘pretty looking’.
I have noticed one thing. The left overs pile seems to always be inevitable. Am I the only one who is plagued by this? When I first did the shop I had two or three rubber tubs of leftovers. Stuff that I should pick over, probably won’t throw out, but probably would find little use for. Things like a bunch of hacksaw blades, extra files, An old air hose, a couple of ancient tools. I’d put them in the corner and it would become the ‘corner to put stuff I won’t use’.
I redid the shop and now I’ve got a different corner with different but the same sort of stuff in the same rubber tubs. I’d like to just toss them without looking and be done with it but I can’t.
No questions about what to do with it. I already know. It will just stay there the next five years. But why does this always happen?! I could use that corner for something else.
sigh……

On Monday night, I was able to finish all of the lettering on the re-do panel. Once again, the small letters kept breaking. That’s one of the biggest downsides to cutting veneer with a knife. With a scroll saw or a chevalet, you don’t pull on the veneer. When you cut cross grain with a knife, I’ve found that I need to take super shallow passes on anything that is thinner than about 1/4” wide or else it will just break the veneer. I.e., I need to take 4 or 5 cuts to cut through the veneer rather than my normal 3ish. After cutting out half of the letters once, about another third of them twice, and a couple of them 3 times, I was able to get a full set of letters that would work.
At that point it was just the standard taping down with clear tape, tracing with the knife, cutting out the background, veneer taping it in place, and moving onto the next one. Once I got into a rhythm, it didn’t take long to finish.
I won’t bore you with a photo of tape on the background again, but after I laminated it to some 1/4” MDF and sanded off the tape, this was the result.
Not perfect, but it’s a heck of a lot better than last time. If I would have had more time I’m sure I could have gotten it better, but it will do for this piece.
Last night I was able to glue the backing onto the mdf piece, trim it to size, and sand everything down. I ended up with some air bubbles on the backing, unfortunately, which had to be fixed by slicing them open, injecting glue, and putting it back into cauls. The result is less than desireable, but given that it’s on the bottom of the tray, I can live with it.
Once that was dry and sanded again, I was able to assemble the frame and panel together. I opted to use dowels in the joints to make it stronger, which you can still see some poking out that weren’t trimmed flush for the photo.
That brings me to tonight’s work. Using a chisel, I was able to pare all the dowels down flush with the sides of the frame to prepare for the decorative pegs. From there, I drilled out the pegs roughly 3/8” down and then squared the hole up with a mortising chisel to accept my decorative square pegs. Again, since I was working quickly, the results are acceptable, but not perfect.
Once that was finished, some sawdust+glue wax mixed into the gaps, and everything was finish sanded, I fired up my compressor and was able to spray a couple coats of lacquer onto it before finishing up for the evening.
This is not the final finish, as it still needs to be leveled and then a few more coats added. Additionally, the finish wasn’t completely dry yet on either photo so it looks a little different at the moment.

In the above video you’ll see the amazing 17th Century English timber frame farmhouse that I visited recently.
I was absolutely taken back by this immaculately reconstructed farmhouse and it’s gorgeous reproduction furniture from the 1600′s. So, of course, I had to share it with y’all!
The farm was moved from England to the Frontier Culture Museum in historical Staunton, Virginia (thank you to my English friends).
I really love the exposed timber framing on the exterior of the farmhouse. I did my first timber framing last week, so it’s fun to see a finished product.
The kitchen & hearth room are the first rooms that I entered, and I loved seeing the oak trestle table with tusk tenons:
And a really creative shelf with decorative gouging on the sides:
Great little tenon pegs:
A pretty little apple press:
And some rusting hand forged iron cut nails sitting on the window sill:
Anyone know what this is? I sure don’t:
Beautiful quarter sawn white oak used on the windows:
A nice little red oak (I think) end table with pinned tenons:
This nice sitting room was filled with carefully hand carved oak cupboards and chests:
Below is a carved bible box, I believe. I’m not sure who built the furniture in this room, but it looks very similar to the 17th century style that Peter Follensbee builds and carves. I wouldn’t be surprised if he built some of it.
The small dining room also has lovely furniture built with strong and handsome joinery:
I want this chair sooo bad…Guess I’ll have to learn how to build and carve one!
Nice detail of the rough wooden floors…either white oak or chestnut I believe:
My son Joseph looking out the hand made windows:
This 17th Century farmhouse felt so comfortable and simple. I really could have felt at home in such a peaceful place. You should really try to visit this farm, and the others at the Frontier Culture Museum. It has become one of my favorite spots.

About the Frontier Culture Museum
The Frontier Culture Museum is unlike anything I’ve encountered. The organization has disassembled actual period farms from England, Ireland, Germany, Africa, and different parts of the United States, then reconstructed them on several hundred acres of lush Virginia farmland. Why? To educate Americans on how our American farms were influenced by immigrants from overseas. You can see the different farms here.
What I found particularly fascinating was the woodworking tools and furniture displayed at each of the 10 farms. The staff actually use the respective tools to construct furniture and tools. It is a hands on “museum” so I just helped myself to all the amazing tool chests! The staff didn’t mind. They also didn’t mind that I constantly caressed their reproduction furniture either…although I got some strange looks.

Former BBC-producer-turned-kitchen-entrepreneur Philip Dundas knows the value of sharing food. In his father’s last years, Dundas could often be found aiding and abetting his father’s late-life passion for cooking; during many meals, the pair, who had been estranged, forged a new relationship. Encouraged by his father, Dundas turned his blog, PipsDish, into a book, Cooking Without Recipes, and began hosting supper clubs in his East London apartment. More recently, he’s graduated to pop-up restaurants that recreate convivial kitchen experiences across London. PipsDish Covent Garden is Dundas’s latest semi-permanent venture. Join us for a tour (including the shepherd’s hut in the garden out back).
Photography by Jonathan Gooch.
Above: PipsDish Covent Garden is homey and casual. The furniture came from Dundas’s former pop-up at the Garage in Islington; the long tables were originally used for wallpaper pasting.
Above: In his previous eating establishments, the cooking always took place in the same room as the dining. Because of space constraints, the working kitchen of the Covent Garden premises is downstairs. At the back of the dining room, however, Dundas set up a small servery, a service counter for preparing drinks and assembling cheese boards and canapes. The one structural change he made to the space was to install a window to let in natural daylight.
Above: The PipsDish bicycle follows Dundas from pop-up to pop-up. Its current location is in the back of the restaurant atop the metal roof of the hut.
Above: Open shelves and under-mounted glass drying racks mean everything is close at hand in this practical working space. “I am forever recreating the kitchen I really want,” says Dundas.
Above: The shelves in the servery are made from boards formerly used to mature cheese.
Above: Plum velvet curtains and a painted chalkboard. The London Evening Standard food critic described the cooking as “sweetly wholesome.”
Above: Old wine boxes cut down to size provide easy storage for tableside cookbooks, inspiration for guests and for Dundas himself.
Above: Purchased at a vintage sale, the wooden wall rack is most likely French (and made for storing pewter meat trenchers). Dundas uses it to display copies of Cooking Without Recipes and prints that are for sale.
Above: “Everything in this space is hugely personal,” says Dundas. “It’s all things I’ve collected over the years.” The ceramic hen was the first present he gave his mother, when he was about eight years old.
Above: An antique French armoire houses the control station: a computer for reservations, and the credit card machine. “The armoire was my grandmother’s version of flat pack furniture,” Dundas says. “She disassembled and reassembled it many times as she moved around India.”
Above: The door leads to the stair to the hut and the loo, and the working kitchen in the basement. “Even the posters on the wall have personal meaning,” Dundas says. “Querelle by Fassbinder was my first gay film, and Natalie Wood in West Side Story, who couldn’t fall for her?”
Above: The stairwell is lined with framed prints and etchings.
Above: In constant need of storage for all of his cookbooks, Dundas finds space above the door.
Above: The bathroom is wallpapered with Penguin Classic postcards of great authors of the 20th century. Toilet paper is tidily stowed in a copper planter.
Above: In the small, unused garden area in back, Dundas installed a Mini Hut from Dorset Sheperd’s Huts, which arrived as a ready-to-assemble kit—and gained the restaurant an extra table.
Above: An avid mountaineer, Dundas styled the room as an alpine hut with posters, travel photos, and sheepskins.
Above: The hut offers a private dining experience for six to eight.
Above: Dundas in front of his new enterprise.
Last summer, we visited PipsDish at its previous location—see London’s Best Below-Stairs Lunch, Hoxton Edition. The pop-up was on the lower level of the British Standard Showroom—see A Kitchen for the People, Courtesy of Prince Charles.
