Sorry about the pics…not sure why they're loading sideways. Tried a few different orientations and they still come up sideways. Backstory to the project: I travel to Sitka, Alaska, from time to time and found a local artisans store. One jeweler in particular caught my eye and the SO loved them...

This is a box I made for a pair of earrings I bought for my wife for Christmas. This box was the most fun I've had with a project in a long time. Very simple in it's construction and very small. The box is red cedar and birdseye maple with a cherry lip to help seat the lid. Finish is shellac...

A pair of earrings turns from figured gum.

This was one of the first projects I finished after rekindling my interest in woodworking, and acquiring a shop full of tools and scraps from my Dad. These are small ear ring racks for young girls. These caught the eye of a co-worker and I later built a larger rack for the friend at work.

Getting ready for a craft show … these are Walnut, Maple, and Cherry, about 6-1/2" high. Each will hold 12 pair of earrings, and each has a dish in the base to hold rings, watches, etc.

This is an earring jewelry box I made for the wife. Made one years ago, but it needed a refresh. The frame is made from white maple, the slats and door is made from mahogany, and the back is 1/4" while maple paneling. The finish is 4 coats of General Finishes HP Satin Poly. Design was done in...

I promised my mom that I would make her a jewelry cabinet for Mother's Day. That was 2012. Planning phase had begun. I finally got around to purchasing some materials for it this January and finished it in time for Father's Day 2014. She absolutely loves it though so I think she's okay with...

I can make all the jewelry boxes I want for my wife but she needed something more practical for her earrings. This is what she described. It is basically a frame with mesh stretched in the middle. Mahogany and purple heart. The whole think took about an hour.

Hello This week I decided to turn some pieces of wood ( to forget all the storms : Ulla, ....) This picture (#6) : you can the violence of the sea. I was looking at the scraps wood and I have a question : " What I can turn with all the scraps wood?" The valentine's day is this week and I...

This is a pair of earrings I made recently as a gift for my stepmother. I am not sure of the species of wood as it was from a piece of scrap wood that I bought of random wood cutoffs. I planed, cut, and shaped the wood by hand and finished them with 3 coats of lacquer.
