Sorry it took so long to get this online but my tablet crashed as I was almost done with the posting. GRRRRRR. This is something I created out of necessity and the fact it was super cool. This case took over a month to build working on it a little at a time but still would not have been a...

Skelly's home was part of a project I started last fall, just before my accident. The completed project was targeted for a contest. I missed the deadline, so there was no need for the project to be completed. This summer I decided to use the coffin for a Halloween container to give out candy to...

This is a traditional Pine Box Coffin. I made it out of completely reclaimed pine wood. Using only recycled materials. If you follow me, you know how I do things. This was meant to be a gag gift for my brother in law. I built it while he was away at a tattoo convention in SD. He is the artist...

Yes, it really is a pet casket. I spent about 40 hours total on this piece. Made from solid mahogany (no ply), it was made fo someone we know that had lost a dear pet. I finished it in a cherry finish and liked the color contrast. Although it was made for a sad reason, I had pleasure in knowing...
