I've been playing around with this basic design for a few weeks now, and this is the latest iteration. It's made from some curly ambrosia maple, with African mahogany dividers, and blue paua shell inlay. It's carved initially with my shaper origin to establish the overall shape of the braids...

Inspired by the boxes created by Aaron McCain and CalgaryBill I made this box from their photos. Not an exact match and I did not have any plans. But, I think my daughter will be happy with it. I'll give it to her for xmas. The body is wormy oak. Dark trim is walnut. The top is walnut and...

This piece of stabilized box elder burl came with one of the starter pen kits I purchased from PSI. Put it with a Rhodium Big Ben Cigar kit. The next one is ambrosia maple with another cigar kit Then a Compson with heartwood ambrosia. Finally a 30cal bullet kit with zebrawood. I have more but...

I love boxes with unique grains and features. This one is made with maple. It has eye catching designs throughout. The wood is referred to as "Ambrosia Maple." Now you might think ambrosia is a type of maple. Maybe even a type of wood… but it's not. Ambrosia is a beetle that burrows into...

Just finished some cabinets for my basement bar. I really like the way the bookmatched Ambrosia maple panels turned out. The Blum soft close bottom mount drawer slides and soft close door hinges are amazing!!

I normally wouldn't post something so simple but the chatoyance was just to good not to share. Wood is Curly/Ambrosia Maple with Wenge breadboard ends. The ends were left 1/4" thicker to lift main board from table top. I also put a rabbit joint in the ends to increase glue surface.

Ambrosia Maple live edge amazing piece of wood - categorized as too soft and funky to be marketable by my slab guy - turning into an end table with a beach/sea inspired translucent coloring. This is my first try at epoxy and making river tables. I will admit that every stage is a learning...

These 3 piece took me the whole month of January to complete. But now the wife is happy and I can move on to other projects. Ambrosia Maple top door hardware was from some shop on Amazon. Finished the tops with a few coats of Deft satin clear

A Commission piece to serve as an Awards Display Cabinet. Ambrosia Maple slabs with a river made up of the company blue colors. Incorporated company logos. Pipe legs to keep with the modern industrial vibe of the office. Bottom two shelves are live edge. Top and two of the waterfall sides are...

The wife commented on Friday how much she liked a little bowl I have for whatever is in my pockets at the end of the day and how she could use something like it as a coaster for her cup at work. The truth is that bowl was just a practice piece from a half-dead dogwood tree I took down at my...

Running out of people I know that play Cribbage so this might be the last one for awhile. Same basic design as my others, but I really like the wood combination. Ambrosia (wormy) Maple, Curly Maple and Walnut. Finished with wipe-on Poly

Thanks to the other jocks out there that have posted different style lamps to get the creative juices flowin for my newest project. While I'm at it, thanks to all the jocks that have posted everything! As you can see, the concept isn't too difficult, but for my first try I think I came up with...

As usual, hash criticism welcomed! First off, i will say this is my best project to date. I am kind of impressed it came together at all. This is made from ambrosia maple, and is solid ambrosia maple, except for the back, which is 1/2 maple ply. I had a very limited supply of wood, so mistakes...

This was my second bowl out of ambrosia maple. The first peice turned very quickly and I had very little problems. This peice however had a few problems…It was soaking wet! I don't have a lot of experience turning as I've only had my lathe for about 5 months and 2 of those monthe I had a...

This is my first "turn" at ambrosia maple. A friend was at woodcraft and he dropped a chunk off at my house. I turned the bowl and then let it sit on top of my TV (that's where most peices go while I'm thinking about them) with a coat of wax. I decided after I turned my second bowl from this...
