  1. something... more.

    This is a wedding gift for my youngest niece. Inspired by http://lumberjocks.com/projects/83867 thanks bazz! I had the letters finished in time to be shipped however it just seemed to want something… more. Finally settled on the base with the wedding date scrolled into it. All made from 1/2" red...
  2. Maori Inspired Rosewood Pendants

    The first four. Stumbling around the internet, I ran across bone carvings of the Maori people in New Zealand. They have some beautiful designs that inspired me to try my hand. Mine are carved in Indian Rosewood and Maple with some ribbon figure to it. Totally freehand carved. No patterns or...
  3. Box #3 - Leaf

    I've been making all of my boxes out of the same leftover flooring I found in the garage, and while it's fairly nice red oak it's nice to have a bit of variety. My background is mostly in textile arts, so the first thing that came to mind was using some sort of batik technique to pattern the...
  4. Inlaid Tool Box / Tool Tote

    I've been carting my tools around in a canvas shopping bag…until now. I made a big, solid tool box/tote out of Merbau. Hand cut dovetails, drawers, plane holders and a custom chisel holder that slides in and out of a rail. The hand hold is Maple, Jarrah, Merbau and a sliver of Ebony veneer...
  5. Walnut Keepsake Box with Inlayed Hard Maple Initials

    This is a box I built for my brand new baby nephew (born May 1, 2011). He is the first child of my only brother and I wanted to do something special. I discovered woodworking about 6 months ago and this is my first real project. The box was made from some short walnut scraps sold on sale at...
  6. Cedar Scrap Boxes

    I had an old piece of cedar sitting in the shed, and thought I'd batch out some quick boxes on the table saw. These took all of an hour to make, with simple butt joints and some cheapo hinges from the big blue place. I used them to house pocket knives as part of groomsmen gifts for my wedding...
  7. Making "initial" art from applewood-or what happens when an apple tree falls in my backyard

    Video Here! This was made as a gift for my wife's brother's family with their last initial. Initially I wasn't thinking of doing a backing and got a bunch of dowels to join the pieces of wood together. I abandoned that idea partially due to complexity and partially because I thought having a...
  8. Pallet Wood Initial

    1. I printed out a large times new roman F, cut it out and traced it onto 3/4" ply, then cut out the F. I used this as the base for the pallet wood which I nailed on top. 2. I cut pieces of various colored woods off a couple pallets. Some of the pieces I painted white and sanded them after...
  9. Tool tote for my son's 4th birthday

    Since my son loves to be in the shop with me, I had to keep him out while I made this (though he unwittingly helped me choose the board for it). He has a set of "grown up" tools like a mallet, gent's saw, winding sticks, tape measure, block plane, etc., but he has no place to keep them. So he...
  10. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    well after some extensive moving and opening up some head room for the monster it was time to reassemble the mill. You can see my father here starting the process.
  11. Woodworking Skill Share
    Hi everyone, I am really new to the woodworking environment and am currently working on my first project using hardwood, and I absolutely love the way it handles and feels. So much better than the pine that I have used in the past. I am making a couple of small gifts and was wondering if putting...
  12. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
