The design of this box was inspired by Bob Dickey. Small jewelry box/chest. This jewelry box is built from curly maple, spalted maple, and black Walnut. The curly maple from NE Ohio and the black walnut is local (Missouri). The box has two drawers with removable dividers and the top...

Got a family request for a lazy susan from my sister in law. My directions were that it should be about 14" and needs to have a "fence" to prevent the 3 kids from zipping things off of it so easily. I went with a nice section of a spalted maple board that I've been holding onto for awhile. I...

These are my first end grain cutting boards. Learned a lot! Walnut and spalted maple, the spalt left patterns almost like marble. Finished with General Finishes Salad Bowl Finish, pretty satisfied (more so with the finish than some of minor minor sanding lines, but hey, it's a cutting board). If...

Made this out of spalted maple that was right on the edge of workability. Had it about 2/3 the way done--sanding/shaping--and it BLEW apart while I was using a file on it. I took a pic, closed the shop, and went inside for the night! LOL This morning, I glued it back together and finished it...

I had this very short stump of junk wood that I had thrown on my sidewalk thinking I might turn it into a very small bowl or cup. Well, as many of my intentions, it sat there for probably two years. It ended up splitting due to the lack of sealing of the ends and being directly exposed to the...

In the middle of the night, I was getting ready to head in for the night and pulling all of the trash together so it could go out the next day. I had trimmed off the split ends of several long walnut boards and chucked them in the trash. I kept walking past the can and looking at the scrap...

Hi, This was an easy project. All it took was 1+1/2 cans of gloss poly! It was very, very dry from kiln drying and sucked up the finish like a sponge. I did not smooth the edges or top to leave it textured. The legs were some iron flange pipes.

Just a couple picture frames I made for my boss and a co-worker who were both off to new postings. They're both spalted maple (donated by another co-worker) with walnut accents. The first frame has walnut edging. It sits proud of the spalted maple by about 1/8 inch, and has a 1/8 inch radius...

This is another in my flying saucer hollow form series. It's walnut with spalted maple. It's approximately 6.5" in diameter and 1.75" tall. David Ellsworth showed us some forms like this he had made early in his career during a class last year. I really liked it so I thought I'd give it a go...

Hi everyone, This is a liquor cabinet that my son made. He is 24 years old and is working really hard building furniture , cabinets, built ins, so he can earn a living doing something he loves to do. The cabinet is made of rock maple with spalted maple doors. The dovetails are hand cut. The...

this is a spalted maple hollow form i worked on this weekend, it is 6 inchs tall with cap and 7 inchs from wing tip to wing tip. the walls and wings are about 3/16 thick. it is finished with a wipe on poly because i noticed that tung oil makes the spalted wood look muddy. the cap is rosewood...

Here's my latest build…a coffee table for our TV room made with some wormy spalted maple I picked up from my local wood supplier. I started by glueing up the top and routing the dovetail area for the batten. I cut and matched the angle on the batten to the dovetail by carefully sneaking up on...

A co-worker asked me if I could make him a clock with a few wood combos as a gift for someone. He really couldn't decide if he wanted a clock or a box so we decided a clock with a semi hidden drawer in the base. He wanted to keep it simple and not too fussy. The face is bookmatched figured black...

this bed was fun to make. I had to make and finish the spalted panel before I made the rails and stiles because parts of the panel were so soft the size kept changing with every cut.

First project in a long time that I've had time to complete. The cabinet is walnut with a spalted maple sliding front. Finished with a coat of BLO and then several coats of shellac and then paste wax. Overall, a fairly simple project, but I managed to mess it up…I had planned to have the walnut...

Went to the shop this morning to make a box and made these instead. LOL Frame is spalted oak and the pic is an invitation to a 50 year marriage anniversary party. It's a gift for the married couple. The giraffe is spalted maple and is 8" tall and 3/4" thick. Cut it out on the bandsaw and...

This set started back in February when I made the small Walnut Burl box. I quickly decided that it needed a bigger brother, shortly after that the bigger box got a fraternal twin. Now I have a set. Like I said, this all started with this little gem back in February. This little box was so...

Here are the last few pens I have made! Finally got some decent pictures taken! I would love to hear your thoughts!

These are a couple business card holders I threw together last weekend in preparation for my upcoming art show. Both used some scrap walnut and some small bits of spalted maple I cut up from a tree that came down on my property. I was really just designing on the fly and playing around with a...

Hello again everybody. Wanted to share my most recent project I completed. I made this cutting board as a mothers day present, fingers crossed it's a good gift XD The main wood of the board is red oak, the darker wood is a piece of mineral stained poplar (I posted a picture of the stock I ised...
