My son's girlfriend saw a simple crate at a craft store, and asked if I could make her one. Of course I had to take it up a notch and add her name. The pine ends are from some old choir steps, and the slats are old cedar fence pickets. Ran it all through the planer, cut the name on the...

Tell Me What you Think I would Really would like to Know There are 5 of them. Plus the Ceader Foe Beam scarfed, construction adhesive, and hand nailed. These are the templates I made from 1/8" hardboard, roughed the blanks out, then I just pattern cut them on the table saw Column Corner...

This is my first rustic swing project. It's made of eastern red aromatic ceder which I harvested and peeled here at home. The larger pieces are small trees and the smaller pieces are branches. I cut the seat and back boards out of a log with my chainsaw. I then planed them somewhat flat with...

This birdhouse was built from plans in the Woodsmith magazine, Vol 20/No117, page 117. The plans show how to build a single story or a second story. I went for the 'double-decker'. I used Ceder. It was a fun project and a lot of work. The tricky part was figuring out all of the angles and...

Easter 2020, when COVID blew everything up, I made some crosses out of old ceder fence pickets, then posted online offering no-contact porch dropoff (free) to anyone who wanted one. Ended up delivering about a dozen. Quick, fun, satisfying little project. Pickets are planed one side only, so...

My wife wants to plant a square foot garden this year. So, I had to build her a box for a raised bed. I had some big slabs of cedar that I had milled up last year that I finally got to put to good use. I left live edge on the top, and mitered the corners together then rounded off the corners to...

I acquired this chest when my grandmother passed away. It was given to her sometime in the '40s or '50s as a hope chest. For those who are curious about the tradition back then, hope chests were commonly given to young girls, in which they would put items for their eventual wedding (dresses...

When we moved into our current home we promised the kids we would put something in the corner of the yard for them. This is what was decided on. Yes it was a kit from Sam's C. but I built it all by myself. It took me just over 17 hours to build. At the store they said it took the 2 guy crew...

Ice cream scoop handle out of rosewood. Last two pictures are of a ceder tree I cut down in Ga. Ceder is a great air freshener for the shop!

This is a hollow wood surfboard I made that has a series of mirrored knots throughout it. I have come to enjoy the variety and artistic value of leaving knots in my wood working projects. In this one I planked several boards from Red Ceder, Pine, and Walnut and used a mirror image approach to...

These two chairs I built on my deck with just some basic tools and scrap rough 2×4 from work. Pretty good for two days of work with no shop. I am working on a much more professional model now that I have a shop to borrow. Jan 1 2016 Update: the picture of the single chair is my second attempt...

I designed and built this bridge about 3 years ago for my niece. Her husband is a dentist. He does my dental work and I do his woodworking. The bridge span is about 15' and is 4' wide. I started with setting 2 lengths of angle iron 6" apart into each of the three 10" round by 2' deep concrete...

This is a platform bed made form both Maple and Pecan. The customer asked for some character in the wood so I carefully selected the Pecan pieces. The Maple also has some figure in it. The headboard is maple with a Pecan edge and the drawers are maple with Pecan drawer fronts. The drawer...
