Hello LumberJocks… Made this from a bunch of scraps that I had…I know people use tablets but is a cute idea. Also on the side I do a little bit of carving to go with my Intarsia. I have been making Intarsia pieces for over 30 years now. Started slow with one or two per year, now that I am...

My wife likes to cook for us and I would see her trying to prop things up or use a magnet on the fridge but it was always inconvenient. So, I made her a recipe holder that she could use magnets to hold a printed out recipe to or use a chalk marker to write her own. I stained it and sealed it...

I recently moved from Ohio to South Carolina and my dear friends wife was looking for a recipe box. They moved here two years ago and asked me if I still did woodworking. I said "if I can borrow your garage to work in I will make you one". Well here is the finished product. It's oak to match...

This is my first post as a new lumberjock. My mom kept hinting at wanting a new place for her recipes, other than the plastic bag/rubber band method. So for her birthday I decided to make her one instead of going to find one. I made this out of curly maple and bloodwood. It was my first attempt...

For mother's day I put together this cherry recipe box at my wife's urging. It keeps peace when you do what your wife suggest , especially for your mother in law!

A padauk recipe box with self-adhesive letters from scrap-booking store. This holds several 4×6 recipe cards with a ledge on top to read while cooking. Originally gifted christmas 2008. I just added pictures of what the box looks like after 2 years of use (christmas 2010). The paduak has...

I like the rustic style of having the live edge on my furniture. This table has what I call a restaurant finish (envirotex).

I made this recipe box from 1/2" oak with 1/4" finger joints. This was my first attempt at finger joints and I quickly found they're only as good as the jig. Overall I'm pleased with the outcome of the box. The finish is a distressing technique I learned on an auto show. Spray paint the...

My mother in law asked me to build a book case for her recipe books. I'm a bit new to woodworking, so I had to really think this out. I started the project out with pine 1×10 for the sides and shelves. (I'm a poor woodworker, and lust for the day when I can use the exotic stuff.) I dado'ed the...

These are 6 piece bird feeders that took about 30 minutes to make. Got the idea out of a scroll saw magazine. There is a peanut butter recipe that you can use also to feed the squirrels with. I think the apple is easier and less expensive though.

This is a recipe box that I made for my new sister-in-law for her wedding this weekend. My wife had the idea to send everyone invited a couple of recipe cards and have them send them back to us with two of their favorite recipes. She volunteered me to make the box to put them in :) I decided...

After I made a recipe box for my daughter-in-law, she asked me to make one as a wedding gift for a close friend of hers. Since it was a wedding gift, I decided to put the interlocking rings on the lid. The box is cherry and the splines and rings are koa, and it features rounded sides. The box...

A little recipe box I made to motivate more cooking at home. It's made from antique flat-sawn southern yellow longleaf pine that was salvaged from old doors. I'm thinking about making a few more of these as I have a bit of this wood left. I was also looking for an excuse to try making finger...

I made this recipe box for my daughter's birthday. I made something similar for my wife and she liked it. I'm really not a "purple" kind of guy but she likes purple heart. I have a piece of Big Leaf maple that I used some of to veneer for the top. Into the top I made a flip down lid that...

Like the title says this is a recipe box with box joint inlay and mitered corners with splines. I made this project for another content creator and even turned an egg (her mascot) for her on a power drill. Full process can be seen in my Youtube video below. Box is made with 3/8in curly maple...

Small rice bowl with decorative bead turned from Tamboti, or African Sandlewood. It is finished with blonde shellac and a thin wax coating. The curve is nearly perfect, though not…the story of my turning it seems. I am a furniture maker by education but only "turn at" wood I fear.

Just before my grandfather died I was able to write him a letter to try to capture some of what he had meant to me. This box is a non-verbal attempt to express some of the same thoughts for my grandmother. I will be adding a verbal attempt too, but this was the first step. The wood is walnut...

The third box in my 21 box series/"class" Resawn left over Mahogany decking, approx 6.5×7.25×4.5 A bit out of scale to the original project in the book (sized for 3×5 cards) I only added to the width and height to accomodate 4×6 cards. looking at the overall shape, It should be longer, but...

I asked some friends on facebook what to do for my next marquetry project and a friend from high school suggested a hibiscus. I found a coloring book page online and converted it to a marquetry pattern. This was my first somewhat difficult marquetry project. I wanted to make the final...

I got this typical office computer desk 10 years ago from my brother-in-law - his company was buying new equipment and giving away the old. I used it that way several years, but when my son took wood shop in high school about 3 years ago, I had him make the wood panels to replace the formica...
