Sometimes woodworking requires you to do things OSHA would never approve of.

I have been working on a new pair of dovetailed benches, the problem is to plug a 54" board into the dovetail jig requires a little more height than usual- I think the picture says it all. Please note this is not an endorsement of routing while on a ladder.

This one is inspired by the great plains- notice the windblown clouds streaking across the blue sky- and is made with blue pine. 

This one recalls a desert sunset, with the Yew top matching the red rocks of Arizona quite well.
