Beautiful Cheese Board! Great for serving on!

I have to say that this is one project that I'm glad to be done with. It fought me tooth and nail from the word go. The main box is made from Birch, which is my first time using, other than in ply form. This is not a user friendly wood, at least it wasn't for me that is. I made this for my...

Here are a couple small bandsaw boxes i whipped up from leftover aromatic cedar cut offs. Had some difficulty with the camera, these are so small when I zoomed in on them they didn't want to come into focus. The first one is pretty small, about 2-1/2" diameter, I wanted to see how tight I...

One of the projects in my Woods I class is a bandsaw box. I use a design from http://www.woodworkingformeremortals.com/. Most of the bandsaw boxes require felt inside. Unless they run out of time or the inside looks good. Wood used was oak, maple, (Donation from Dorchester Hardwoods in...

Quick built closet organizer. Used local beetle kill pine complete with the signature blue stains and lined the back with aromatic cedar. This replaced a single span shelf made out of mdf. Can you imagine the sag in the middle? A little hard to access the center shelving section because of the...

"Rocky Overlook" This carving was done with a Dremel, and measures 9×39x3/4 inches. The wood is Aromatic Cedar, I chose the wood because of its imperfections (which give me the subject idea) It is finished with Polycrylic. This is a tall rocky cliff with a lighthouse overlooking clouds. There...

The Eagle Nest Chest I have been adding a combination locking system to hope chests for some time now and one day a fella commented that he would like to see the dials hidden behind a false panel, that it too would be locked from access. How it works: The nest sitting on top of the chest...

Ipe, Poplar, Aromatic Cedar and Purple Heart Cutting Boards

Most of my work are Hope Chests, Cedar Chests and Memorial Boxes. I also do special projects and restorations. The Corner Display Case/with three glass shelves was for a local funeral home.

Here are a couple of boxes I built. The lotus flower shaped one is walnut. The box is about 15" tall and the base is about 15" wide. I used spray on flocking for the inside of the drawers. The other box is aromatic cedar from a chunk that a friend cut down in his yard. I left the inside of...

Little Mother's Day planter for succulents from eastern red cedar. Spray painted a few pieces of wire hanger for the hairpin legs. Finished with BLO.

Recently, I was perusing the Lie Nielson website, and I came across their chisel plane. As I have a growing appreciation for the value that hand tools bring to a modern power workshop, I really like the idea of a plane that can access 90' corners. As this plane is primarily used for pretty...

The Lost Weekend Chest is the sequel to the Lost Day Chest. This chest is about three times the size and like The Lost Day this is a "Stem to Stern" styled piece in which the entire interior space is filled with secret compartments and wooden locking systems. One thing puzzler's love is a...

This band saw box is called "the aurora," and the design is featured in Lois Keener Ventura's book, Building Beautiful Boxes with Your Band Saw. Kenny is a huge fan of her designs and credits them (the designs, book, and author) with being a big influence on his work with the bandsaw. Thanks...

The crib was started well before my baby boy was born and now he is sleeping in a toddler bed. And the crib is still not finished. That being said that is why the the four side stiles are not finished and there are still pencil scribes and some machining marks on parts of the crib. The maple...
