https://www.etsy.com/shop/Spunwood It has been a while since I posted a project because I have been getting my 2014 Spring Puzzle and doodad collection together I decided to take a different approach to Etsy, though my prices are probably still too high. I got the idea of wavy wood puzzles by...

I build these large fly-through bird feeders about 10 years ago. The first one I designed after I had patched up an old Amish-built one for a coworker. That bird feeder was quite large and had a copper roof on it. I really liked how practical it was - you simply toss bird seed inside and the...

There is a soft spot in every man's heart for his daughter and mine came a week after my 50th birthday, my first and only child. I knew she would have many toys, trinkets and games from me, a woodworker who loved his craft and loved her; so when she came of an age that imaginative play kicked...

We have a leather ottoman, about 22" x 47", which is a companion piece to our leather sectional. It is very comfortable to rest the weary legs on, but alas, does not function so well to rest guests' drinks upon. So, the need for a serving tray that could both stand on its own on the kitchen...

I found an easy way to transfer photos onto wood. The process uses something called Matte Gel Medium which is a paint base that you can buy at any craft store. The medium goes onto the prepared wood like a paste, spread with foam brushes, then the photo gets smoothed on. After drying overnight...

A co-worker asked me to build her two outdoor rockers for her new house. I built these mostly from shorts I had from a dock renovation so the lumber was air dried. All of the joinery is mortise and tennon and re-enforced with 2.5" screws. In addition the rockers are held on with 6" lags which...

My brother and I built this house in central Ohio. After the construction was complete, the clients wanted to take a look at designing a covered entryway. I drew it up by hand then contracted out the SketchUp drawings. This was before I knew how to use SketchUp. I used both SketchUp and scale...
