I've been wanting to try my hand at one of those cool end grain cutting boards I've been seeing here on LJ. I also needed some coasters for the coffee table I just finished (also pictured). So I figured I would kill two birds with one stone, and make some end grain coasters. This was more of...

Here's a few more Wood Rings I made. As you can see by the first picture, things don't always go as planned. The point is to not give up.

This tool chest is based on Mike Pekovich's tool chest from Fine Woodworking #234. I modified the size a little bit based on my wood. Otherwise, I largely followed the plan since it suited my needs. The drawers were slightly taller than what the plan called for since my plank was that size and...

Black Limba, walnut and T&G maple backed dovetailed bookshelf I made for my mom last year. I have since learned how to do stopped dadoes and someday I'll get around to making some kind of creative plug for the visible dado on the top.
