I got this off a guy on Craigslist for $75 a few months back. It was a present for my girlfriend. All of the glue in the leg joints had dried out and the legs were wobbly, and the entire thing was painted with thick, black paint - even the glass balls on the claw feet. The paint was all...

This is a posting for a project that I helped with. I have a friend, and fellow woodworker, who has custom cabinet and door shop close to where I live, by Cottonwood Falls, Kansas. His name is Charles Jones, of Jones Custom Woodwork. On this door, I only helped with the carved "R" and the I...

This is a remake of a Totem. The original was made sometime in the early 1970's .A cancer survivor asked me to reproduce it for him. Both wood types are Red African Mahagony. He wanted it stained espresso. To be honest, this was my first time using an actual router in about 9 years. Along with...

This is a box I had started a few months ago, originally to make a music box for my sweetheart. But having found a better alternative in a crafts shop, I had left this one on the workbench for future use. I brought it back home this time, and covered it with a locally found spalted wood (will...

This is a ceremonial mace that I made for my Fraternity, Omega Psi Phi. Where do I begin? I made my first mace a few years ago and shorty after, I decided that I would make this, at least a variation of it. I picked up a big turning blank from the lumber supply and it sat around, moving from...

The chair design is part Japanese and part kiwi, the chair is called Jim because at our local badminton club there's this South Korean guy with some ridiculously long and hard to pronounce name so we just call him Jim. Had some left over NZ macrocarpa from a TV cabinet i was commissioned to...

I was commissioned to make a book case that fitted a space 800×800 and had a bottem shelf that was at least 400mm high to fit up to A3 size books.

I finished this desk back in February. It has held up well according to the owner. It was a special commission project made for a long time supporter. In fact, the shield above the desk was my third shield made, so it dates back to when I first started this hobby. I digress. You may visit my...

Recently completed two kneeling angels. The design was taken from one that the customer already possessed. Carved from pine and lightly stained as the customer didn't want them yellow of the pine once sealed. They are approximately 15cm high and sealed with wax, because I was worried that it is...

My friends asked me to build a 40cm x 40cm corner shelf three days before they were leaving back home in Australia (hence metric dimensions :-). I did accept the challenge (working about one hour a day for the next three days), and tried my new beading router bit I have just got on sale in local...

This is version two of a black powder pistol stand I created for my 1858 New Army replica. My Girlfriend bought an 1851 Navy replica and it was about 1/8" shorter where it counted. Between the grip and the hammer. Black Powder Pistols are loaded by hand. With two hands you've got to half-cock...

This is my final project for the cabinet making course I took in college this year, it is made from birch, stained and sprayed with lacquer. The dimensions are 82" long by 71" High and 19 Wide.

There are shields #32-#34 that I have created. These are the first that I made using 1/2 Baltic Birch. In some ways i like the Birch above the Pine, but each have their intrinsic value. It appeared that while engraving, the birch generated"finer" dust particles than the pine plywood that i...
