Big upgrade in the shop, and I can’t wait to put this beast to work! 🪵💪

I just brought home a vintage Powermatic Model 180, 18-inch thickness planer to replace my 15-inch Grizzly. With a 7½ HP motor—more than double the Grizzly’s 3 HP—this machine brings some serious muscle and extra capacity to the shop!

It’s hooked up to three-phase power, and tomorrow it gets its first workout as I start building a new table. This old iron has plenty of character, and I’m excited to see what it can do. I have a feeling it’s going to handle just about anything I send its way!

Stay tuned—let’s see how it goes!

I just acquired this Red Star Multiplex Model 50-A is a 16-inch heavy-duty radial arm saw manufactured in the late 1940s by Red Star Products, Inc. haven’t had a chance to hook it up yet. But can’t wait to get it doing what it was meant for.

Company and Model History

• Red Star Products Origin: Established in 1936 in Cleveland, Ohio (3455 Vega Avenue), Red Star quickly became a major competitor to DeWalt with its proprietary Multiplex line of turret-arm radial arm saws.
• Relocation to Norwalk: By 1948, the company moved its manufacturing operations to 55 North Garfield Street in Norwalk, Ohio.
• The 50-A Saw: Released around 1946–1947, the Model 50-A was built as a heavy-capacity industrial machine utilizing a 16-inch blade.
• Rockwell Acquisition: In 1948, Rockwell Manufacturing Co. acquired Red Star Products and integrated the Multiplex design into the Delta lineup. For years afterward, Delta continued producing turret-arm saws that directly evolved from the Red Star blueprint

THREE BEAMS. THREE LOOKS. ONE BIG QUESTION… WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE?! 👀🌲🤎

The final reveal is HERE!

We’ve taken y’all along all week as Nick worked through these beautiful reclaimed beams, and now it’s time to see the finished results side by side!

🌲 1. RAW — all that original, untouched character.

🔨 2. SANDED — a little cleaned up, but still showing off the beauty and history of the old wood.

🤎 3. POLYED & FINISHED — bringing out those rich tones, grain, and gorgeous details.

Same reclaimed wood, three completely different looks. And honestly, we love something about every single one!

Now we want to hear from Y’ALL! 👇🏻

Which one gets your vote? 1, 2, or 3?

And where would you use one of these gorgeous beams? A fireplace mantel? Ceiling beams? Somewhere else in your home?

We LOVE hearing your ideas, so let us know below!

Thanks for following along with our Beams 3 Ways series and being part of our little Blue Ox world! 🤍🌲

From a barn built in 1760 to a table built for generations to come.

I just finished this trestle table using antique oak reclaimed from a barn built in 1760. Long before that barn stood, these trees were already growing—giving this wood a history that reaches well beyond its years as barn timbers.

The incredibly tight grain and remarkable weight made this oak something special to work with. At an estimated 700 pounds, this is the heaviest table I’ve ever built—and one I’m proud to share.

I chose a natural finish to let the oak’s rich character and beautiful grain speak for themselves. It’s a new chapter for old wood, crafted into an heirloom where family and friends can gather for years to come.

Watch the video for a closer look at the grain, the craftsmanship, and the finished table. Let me know what you think!

A new addition to the shop! This bandsaw has a 24½-inch throat, a 7½-horsepower three-phase motor, and stands about eight feet tall. I’m looking forward to putting it to work on some big projects.

A big thank-you to Bruce Wager for helping me get this machine into the shop!

We’ve been busy in the shop since the start of the year, and these pieces are just the beginning. There’s plenty more to come!

These custom antique Tidewater cypress doors were handcrafted for a client in Texas, and she finally has them installed. They turned out beautifully!

Each door measures approximately 2¼ inches thick, 9 feet tall, and 34 inches wide. It’s always rewarding to see a project come together—from carefully selecting the wood to seeing the finished doors in their new home.

Built with history, character, and craftsmanship to last for generations.

Another busy week in the shop!

I’m making good progress on this custom tabletop and should have it finished up by next week. It’s really starting to come together, and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

The custom shutters I’ve been working on are officially complete and ready for delivery tomorrow. It’s always rewarding to see a project go from raw material to the finished product and finally into the customer’s hands.

Stay tuned—I’ll be sharing more as the tabletop comes together!

These are a few custom tables I’ve had the pleasure of building over the years. Each one is different, but they all have something in common—the character of the wood is what makes the piece.

I’ve worked with several types of antique and specialty lumber, including antique cypress, antique oak, and thermally modified pine. Knots, nail holes, color variations, saw marks, and decades of natural character aren’t imperfections—they’re part of the history that makes every table one of a kind.

From massive round tabletops to clean Parsons-style designs and traditional tables with hand-turned legs, I enjoy taking old wood and giving it a new purpose—building furniture that is meant to be used, enjoyed, and passed down.

Built by hand. Built to last. And no two are ever exactly alike.
