First off a big Thank You! to Rustfever here for giving us the wood. This is my 13 yo daughter Olivia's project. I helped with cutting the raw wood into boards for her to use. The rest is all her. It's a music box she made from honey locust with a claro walnut burl bottom and inside dividers...

Getting an early start on all the 2017 Christmas gifts. We decided to do a mass production run to cover three generations of our two families. The females will receive music boxes while the males will receive storage boxes. The difference between the two groups is the storage boxes have no...

I made this box and carved it for a customer who will be giving it to his piano instructor. The instructor's last name starts with the letter "V", thus the musical "V" on top. Inside is the movement that plays the piece he has been working on with his teacher. Great idea for a gift!! Basswood...

The story I saw an add in local newspaper for wood in a barn since early 80,s. Had to go look. Was so dark in there could hardly see it. Guy said it was maybe walnut or butternut. Bought several pieces anyway. I had not seen butternut or white walnut as I was told. Looked on line and saw pics of...

Built this music box for a friend that is a collector of 18th century music boxes. He had a similar box I used for the detail and joinery. The box had challenging "double blind" dove tails that had to be hand cut. I made a prototype to get the joinery right. The box is made from french...

This is another project I made for my sister. This time she was expecting their second child and knew it was going to be a girl. I decided to surprise her with a jewelry/music box for her new daughter. The hardest part about this project was finding the music box with the little dancing...

Looked hard to find music box mechanisms that have an on/off lever, so the music will start when the box is opened. Found relatively nice ones at Klockit.com - each plays one of 4 different tunes @ about $8.00 per unit. Installing the mechanism was relatively easy, but connecting the lever to...

For whatever reason I really enjoy using my lathe, especially with local wood that I cull from trees but I also have used the "exotic" type you can purchase which do come out very nice. Here are a few images of my first attempts, I would like to post some of the other items but I never bothered...

I decided to build my daughter a jewelry/music box of her birthday. I loved working with the walnut when i built my last project so i figured that i would use it again. This was my first attempt at making really nice miter joints with splines. It turned out better then i hoped. I used cherry for...

Box is oak salvaged from an old dresser. Lid topped with maple I resawed from a small piece I purchased, and wrapped with pre-made inlay. Hardware (and music guts) come from a kit I found on clearance somewhere probably about 20 years ago. Finished in 3 coats of spray shellac, sanded and then...

"Relatively" recent project of cherry wood. Design took years to evolve, months to mature the design and size and two years to complete the display. As with my "aquarium", besides the materials and individual design, the display and association with other objects were as important. Some would...
