This is my effort at the lap desk that was featured in the 9/10 2000 issue of FWW. It is a very late Christmas present for my son, but almost on time for his birthday. The article used a plywood core, but I don't know how to veneer, so I used Mahonie Jawa. The contrasting drawer front is Suar...

I came across The American's Creek quote and I just had to carve it. The biggest challenge was how would I present this quot to show it's true importance. I chose to make the complex mahogany frame to grab your attention and draw you in to see just what there might be inside it's borders. After...

My mom suffers from 'pretty box syndrome'. You could give her used chewing gum, but if it's wrapped up in a 'pretty box'- she'll absolutely love it. So I decided to make her a permanent 'pretty box' for christmas. The box is curly maple. The ribbon is lacewood veneer. Bow is some laminated...

Mahogany, 10-1/2" in diameter and 1-3/4" deep. A surprising pattern emerged on this one as I cut in to depth, and I decided to make it my first 'named' bowl! The edge pattern is the same stamping as a previous, larger platter I'd done in mahogany, so maybe I'm beginning a series. All...
