Earlier today a friend gave me a bunch of lumber as a donation to my crowdfunding campaign. So I made this phone case for him as a gift. It's lightly spalted beech lined on the inside with soft leather. Sanded with 120/240/400/600/1200 and finished with linseed oil.

a barnwood mirror for my brother for christmas, the red paint is actually from the pain on the wood, the wood is around 100 years old.

This basic box design was a welcome gift of my brother in law. It has black flocking and a foam bottom inside covered with leather so he can drop his specks into the box and not fear damage. The base is gaboon ebony, and the sides are black and white ebony. Fun to make.
