Mathildes Christmas gifts daughter's and fathers! My sweet daughter Mathilda asked me if we could go in the work shop and do some presents for her mother's family, and I was of course more than happy for this proposal! 1. Like father like daughter! (or what they say…) ok there was no tobacco...

I know its been a while since I've posted anything on here but I wanted to share a project I finished up a while ago. My wife had been wanting one of my woodworking pieces to be in our house for once instead of other peoples. So I came up with this one for her. This was part of the slabs from...

This stand is made with English Beech and Purple Heart. I know I can use UVA prohibitors in the finish with lacquer and such, can I do anything about that with oil and or wax? I am trying to work out a finishing process that will keep the color the longest and feel wonderful to the touch and...

My sister asked me to build them a learning tower for my nephew to use in the kitchen. I hadn't heard of a learning tower before. Basically it's an enclosed stool and the platform on the inside can be raised or lowered based on the height of the child. The last photo is what she sent me to base...

This is a Low Ri-ser! That should be said in that very deep voice of Charles Miller from the band, WAR . . . "Low Ri-ser, get a little higher . . . ." Ha, ha! Hers' another one of my laptop risers with figured maple, and jatoba. I really like this design My buddie who is a computer engineer uses...

Horses - Intarsia Woodworking One of my recent Intarsia projects is from a painting of horses. The client sent me a photograph of a painting hanging on their wall and requested an Intarsia piece from this photograph. I was very excited to start this one because I loved the picture they sent...

This set comes with the high and low risers. This is the highest riser I have and is my preference to work with. I like things that are not symmetrical which this is, and isn't. Personally I like it but most people have lots of touble with asymmetry. That's okay, there's plenty out in the world...

Just finished a huge 4-month long trestle table build. All 8/4 hard maple, it's 9'x3' with seating for 10. Finished with dyed shellac and arm-r-seal. The client asked for "bombproof," well they definitely got it with this! She's a beast of a table for sure, with the top/legs weighing in at...

I have had this bowl started for at least 6 months, I had 3 rings made then set it aside where they were just collecting dust. So this week I decided to make a couple more rings to finish the glue-up. Got it all glued up and started turning this morning and finished it with 5 coats for...

This is the rose that I recently completed. I love how it almost looks like chocolate! It is currently the give away prize on my facebook page. As soon as I hit 200 likes on Chris Mobley Designs, we will hold a drawing to give it away. Each like gets one entry into the drawing and every share...

So as of late I have been playing around with the idea of selling and shipping products on my site, but in the past I was really hesitant because of the costs associated with shipping and trying to determine how much to charge for said projects. That was until I came across a show on YouTube...

The Mara table was designed based on rough idea a client had that we were able to refine and make a reality. It took two months of planning to determine plan of construction. The inverted pyramid is made from solid Walnut that was cut from book matched slabs. After the wood was milled the final...

Dopey - Intarsia Woodworking I just finished up a fun project that I did for a friend. My friend did a neat thing last month; she posted on Facebook a "Pay it Forward" type campaign for the first five people that commented on her post would receive a gift from her within this year. The catch...

these are 3 styles of stands i build. i supply all my local pet stores. everything is screwed and glued. the last one is a solid top stand for an acrylic tank that the whole bottom has to be supported.

This is one of my original designs. What I had in mind when designing this pattern was to make a small tray to set on your dresser to place your keys or loose change in. After it was finished, I thought it would also be nice to set a jar-type candle on (like Yankee candles, which are very...

This was born out of necessity. Since we have an older house, our sink does not have a built in drainboard. We actually looked and looked for one and none could be found. Apparently everyone either already has one built in or they don't use one anymore because they have a dishwasher. We had...

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...

Problem: Lubricants and spray cans were throughout shop. When we needed something it was always hidden from sight. Off we went to purchase a can or jar of something. Later the item we were needing and could not find showed up. Solution: Find a storage system with good visibility and limited...
