I actually have been working on stuff here and there. I just completed these two marking gauges in cherry and spalted pecan. Locking mechanism is a "French wedge," and finish is paste wax.
This first one is fairly small at 6" long, but pretty serviceable.
This second gauge doesn't have as much flashy spalting on the fence, but the bell-shaped profile is my own design. It makes the fence comfortable to hold while allowing for a wider-than-usual bearing surface. I have several gauges that I've made with this design, and I've really come to enjoy using them.
This one is a little longer at 7" overall.
Comments and questions welcome. Thanks for looking!
