A friend asked for a clock to sit in her seaside home. Her style preferences were are modern minimalist so this is what came from all the sawdust. Bird's eye maple and walnut with rolling waves influence. Simple urethane finish with no stains or dye.

I built a new desk! ( . . . which I'll post later) I needed something to hold my tablet while I enjoy some multi-screen goodness. This is a really simple solution I came up with: A really clean chunk of quarter-sawn douglas from a 2×4, a small hole, a dado on one side the width of a USB cable...

If you prefer not to read, the video is here View on YouTube This project is one that I've done before, mostly I've made these for friends/other woodworkers who were either just starting out or wanting to get into Japanese woodworking. This one will be used to store my growing collection of...

This contemporary table was one I built for fun. It's made from a reclaimed white oak "door buck" (threshold) from a stack we have at the yard. It's 3" thick and 24"x24". The cube is a 24"x24"x24" steel frame I welded and then had chrome dipped. It's a very simple design. I like having all the...

If you have a lot books or magazines around your home but have no where to put them and space is an issue, this project is for you. My wife just started working from home and I have been asked to make several project, this was the second on the list the other was a console table I just...

By this woodworking project no glue or screws were used. Instead, we are using Japanese joinery technique. It might be an idea to cover the wood table by glass. We show the building process here:

This is one of the h4s (hand-hewn four sides) softwood beams from our barn wood lot. The customer picked it out and gave us the dimensions. They wanted it natural (unfinished). It's held up by a red oak french cleat. The cleat sits in a routed out pocket in the back of the beam and is 3/4"...

Here's a project I finished this week end, a minimalistic serving tray with wave pattern brass inlays. Inlay is essentially done on my CNC, I know, it's not the same as hand carved, but I wouldn't have the skills to make this quality by hand. A video of the process can be seen here ...

Not much to see but I post it anyway since maybe the choice of materials could interest someone. I live in Colombia and there is not much quality to find when it comes to furniture, not even bespoken ones, so I decided a couple of years ago that I rather buy some tools and ******************** up myself than...

Needed a long and slender table to go in a hallway below a picture wall. Wanted to try a floating top: shaped the underside with a handheld router using a homemade jig that slid back and forth along the length; turned and shaped the four walnut pins holding it up. The bottom stretcher had a...

Here is a brief video summary of the processes I used to build my family's dining table. https://youtu.be/9X89XUEdHoc Design: This design is a synthesis of modern, industrial, and minimalist styles. Materials and finishes were chosen to reflect similar items in our home. Top: The design...

Walnut pendant turned on a lathe and then I made a jig to sand them on the lathe. Waxed string with barrel clasp. Finished in poly urethane. Some just sanded to 3000 grit. Thanks for looking.

My wife and I saw this idea a year ago as a "weekend" project that we thought looked easy and simple or "minimalist". However, I thought this would be a great opportunity to practice joinery. So it took more than a weekend. There is one large maple slab that I thought looked great and then three...

My first project, inspired by Matthew Hilton's 'Orson Desk'.

I built a bed for a couple a while back, and was supposed to build night stands as well, but part way through the building process they changed their mind on the night stands. So they paid me in full, but I told them that I owed them another piece of furniture to make up the difference, and...

I have recently become acquainted with hide glue and am very impressed with it's unique qualities. It wasn't long before I realized that I needed a veneering hammer so this afternoon I made this one. It feels nice and heavy and I'm sure it will work just fine. It has a Cherry handle and an...
