So here is my sculpted "Musical Chair". I have really been drawn to the asymmetrical, organic line of Art Nouveau lately and have applied some of what I've learned into a number of recent pieces. This chair is a large studio chair made from ribbon mahogany and tulip poplar. Note that the tulip...

This is one of my original designs. What I had in mind when designing this pattern was to make a small tray to set on your dresser to place your keys or loose change in. After it was finished, I thought it would also be nice to set a jar-type candle on (like Yankee candles, which are very...

I saw the mallet video by ThirdCoastCraftsman on YouTube and was inspired by his design. I am unsure what type of wood this is, but I found it in the form of a pallet here in Japan. It's one of the hardest and heaviest woods I've ever worked, as finished it is 3" square T mallet end with 8"...

I built an outdoor table from Blackbutt a little while ago and then the first of four bench seats to go with it. I learned a lot from this build and then batched out 3 more benches, which only took me about 50% longer in total than making the first. This showed me the advantages of batching...

The first project using newly made shooting boards I posted. All boards are fine tuned using shooting boards and at the same time I adjusted the shooting boards itself. A quite satisfactory result I could get BLO and Poly Urethane mixture is used as the finishing

I purchased the plan from Klockit as well as the clock mechanism. I made the clock from white oak and put a natural oil finish on it. The plans they provide are drawings with some dimensions listed as typical. I modified the door and used a different router bit for the top and bottom. I had...

Hey LJs, This is a display case I've been working on for about a week (on and off). It's made from Birdseye Hard Maple, some Curly Hard Maple for the trim molding, and some unique ingrown bark Hard Maple for the back panel. I used the Freud glass panel bit set for the door, what a awesome set...

Several years ago, I got a three cherry trees that were cut down in the neighborhood by the power company. I had them sawed into 2" slabs. Now, I'm getting to make some projects with the slabs. My first project is for Christmas gifts and I made 4 cutting/serving boards. After flattening the...

You all know that sometimes, a project has to be for our better half. I got tired of seeing her scrapbooking ribbons all over the place and decided to do something about it. Made from leftovers of cumaru that were used to build a staircase. The lid on top lifts to access the top dowel. The...
