The Mountian Lion was carved into a spur on the elk button [what's a elk button ?] . There wasn't enough of the little spur to carve both sides of the face but I think I like the way it turned out better . When you turn the the stick you kind of discover the mountain lion hiding there. The elk...

This custom designed Hat Making Tool was a commissioned item, and has been SOLD. ------------------------- I've been pretty busy the past few weeks working on Maloof-Inspired rocking chairs, and since they aren't finished yet, I've not posted much for projects lately. I did take a break from...

(first of all, I made this on Thursday, PRE bandsaw/routers/blah blah blah). Thursday, things just weren't going as planned so I was sitting at home doing not much of anything and I thought: "I want to make a box. Just a box. Any box." And so I did. I decided that because it is my box that I...

A second go at turning and shaping a cane. The top 1/3 of the shaft and the handle where hand shaped ,the bottom of the shaft was turned. The walnut shaft is part of a garage sale find , I have only 2 pieces left now [rats]. I chose lace wood for the handle for it's dark colour to match the...

Some of you might recognize this piece. It is based on the "cowboy sideboard" project by Norm (inspired by Molesworth) with a few major variations. First of all, I chose to keep the front flat instead of canted back at an angle. I replaced the routered door panels with ostrich leather. And...

I really wanted to call this post a second attempt at a first mallet, but grammatically, that just doesn't make a great deal of sense. However, that is what this project is. Several months ago, I attempted, and I suppose to some extent I succeeded, in building a mallet. In what seems almost like...

I have made many (50) of these functioning and decrotive fireplace bellows over the past 20+ years. I make them of wood from pallets mostly. I inlay the tooled leather on the front and turn the handels and nozzle end on a lathe. They are 15" long and 7 " across.

I've been building a few things out of leather lately and quickly discovered that 2 hands are not enough when it comes to hand stitching. Found lots of designs online and settled on my own variation that is designed to be held in vice or it could be clamped to a table or bench. In time I could...

This desk was designed with alder and walnut. There are copper panels, front, back and sides. It also has a leather inlay for the top. It was moved from the studio to the county road on a trailer pulled behind a snowmobile, as I do not have winter access to my cabin. Still trying to keep it...

Another gift for my lover. This was a pretty quick and simple project, a 7"x10" pine cutting board/serving board. Cheese and crackers, peanut butter sandwich, etc. It's my first cutting board. The medallion is a 1" dia. poplar dowel stained with my blood (my 1/2" bench chisel is deeply...

Hackberry Stash Box. This little box was a challenge….....I was give a small piece of Hackberry….my first time with this species of wood…..and used almost every square inch of it to make this box. My only experience with Hackberry was folks complaiining about birds eating the berries and eaving...

Well have you ever been out picking Saskatoons berries or the like , and found a cluster of berries up high on a branch just out of reach ? You could make yourself a hiking stick along these these lines , that has a built in hook. Just take that hook and reach up and hook that branch, and bring...

I made this in 2004 for my son. He was collecting rocks everwhere he went. The wood is (if I remember correctly) redwood??? It was from the scrap bins that Rockler sometimes has.

My wife's family draws names for Christmas gifts. When I found out who my giftee would be this year, I cased his apartment for gift ideas during a recent visit. His wife provided add'l recon and more information about his taste for nice watches. We eventually decided a handmade watch box might...
