I made this Andy-style box for my boss' retirement next month. It's made of figured ash from the local saw mill, recycled padauk (from an old table off craigslist) for the medallion/handle, and bloodwood for the splines (not sure why I used both padauk and bloodwood here, as they look nearly...

This is actually a pet urn for a couple of cats, one already deceased and one about to cash in. A friend of mine liked the boxes I did in December and asked if I would make him one for the critters. This is hickory and walnut with a natural oil finish with a lacquer top coat to give it a wet...

This was a test box that I thought would be fun to try, since making 4 flawless miter joints on a square box to fit to perfection I decided to try 8 miter joints to make an octagon. These joints turned out OK but I learned what I needed to. I also decided to try out making an inlay in the...

Here is my first try at making an Andy-style art box, following his great set of tutorials (available here). Since I don't own a router table, I made the top into a square piece that sets into the regular box opening (someday I'll have to try the nice rounded-rabbet recessed style). I think...

My second attempt at an Andy Art Box. Body is walnut, lid is maple, and the "medallion" is cherry. Handle is purpleheart, and the splines are maple & purpleheart. Hinges are 1/8"brass pins. Finish is semi-gloss lacquer. Things went a little smoother on this one. Still a ton of sanding...

I finally finished my second attempt at an Andy-style art box as a gift for my cousin's wedding (made following the fine tutorials here ). My father made the silver repousse medallion with their initials, which we epoxied into a large forstner-made hole after the finish was dry. Since I now...

So after finishing the Princess Kaylee headboard project that I posted a couple weeks ago I was trying to come up with some gift ideas when I came across that great tutorial by Andy about his art boxes. So I thought that would be a great gift for my wife, mom and mother in-law. I actually made...

Well, I have finally started finishing my "Winter Projects". I started the router table back in August but it quickly got put aside as Christmas, and all the gifts I wanted to get done, started drawing to a close. The router table is "The Ultimate Router Table" from Fine Woodworking. I've wired...
