When I first posted the Knothead Box I didn't realize at the time, but it seemed to be a fairly unique joint and the comments were pretty positve, so I decided to try another one. I wanted to try this one without the legs to see how it looked. This one is mostly for practice to try and hone the...

My wife received a message from the lady who ordered the Thr33 boxes and said she needed two more boxes quickly, if possible, before the wedding. I checked my wood stash and had just enough African Mahogany left over from the last batch to make two more, but had to dive into my cutoff bin for...

This here is my main contribution to the 2014 Box Swap and it went to Clieb91. I also made another little box that went to his little girl, but I'll post that as another project. All materials in this box are reclaimed or salvaged. The box is made of black walnut and poplar, finished with...

Just finished my first commission! Box is curly soft maple, cherry for the tray and dividers. The inlay is black dyed pearwood. Finish is french polished shellac. Tray is lined with suede. Had to buy a 1/16" chisel for the tray dovetails. Feels good to get this one done.

Made another Keepsake/Jewelry box. This one is for my GF's Mom. This one is 12" x 9" x 5". The sides are solid Zebrawood, the top and bottom are plywood with Zebrawood Veneer and the Edges are Wenge. This one was a lot of fun to build, Found out that Zebrawood is a little hard to plane because...

Got my foot in the door for selling my projects at the local coffee shop so I thought something seasonal would be a good addition. Haven't had much time for working on these side projects with it being the holiday season. Everyone wants their cabinets by Thanksgiving, then by Christmas and one...

These are a couple of practice boxes I just finished using some wood (cedar) I haven't used before and a little practice on some handles, working on joints and trying to come up with some boxes the ladies might enjoy as well. Cherry Rose is Tennessee Cedar and the lid is Brazilian Cherry. The...

Here are a couple more boxes where I've been trying some different spline layouts using various woods and trying to get some practice on my handles. The Padauk box has an Oregon Walnut lid with Wenge handle, Walnut tray and Walnut sapwood tray rails. The splines are Zebrawood and Wenge and the...

I got an order about a week or so ago from a friend of mine that is about the retire from the USAF as a Master Sergeant. It was an honor to be asked to build this for him considering he is out of state and still wished for me to build it and have it shipped to him. He didn't want anything too...

The latest box influenced by the "Harlequin" work of Andrew Crawford. It measures 5" x 9" X 3" and is made of American Black Walnut and Maple. The diamonds are separated by a 1/32" strip of black veneer and the entire inlay panel is banded by a 3/16 band of Wenge. The bottom of the box has...

This box is a Birthday gift for my Mom, she does a lot of Crochet Amigurumi (crochet figures) and wanted a good way to store her hooks. She has all kinds of hooks, metal ones, metal ones with handles and I make her some "fancy" wood ones (as she calls them). So I wanted to make her a nice box...

Walnut Box with Grapes......I couldn't help myself…...after doing the bowls, I had to try it on a box. This little decorative walnut box is about 4×6 inches and has maple vines and grapes done in cherry and Koa. The corners are a rabbet joint and the bottom is plywood in a dado. The lid is...

Here is a maple and red oak jewelry box I finished not to long ago. I'm not a huge fan of red oak because it seems like it's every where but i found this particular board to be very interesting. It reminded me of tiger striping, hence the name. The lid is maple burl veneer and the trim and...

I made this ring box from walnut with bloodwood inlay. There's a magnet in the lid and one in the middle circle.

This was the first decorative box I made. It's oak and bloodwood with brass quadrant hinges and lined with suede. I donated this to a church auction. It ended up selling for about $250 I think. Everyone overpays because it's for charity. An older man wanted to use it for his coin collection.

Here is a little box out of lightly spalted maple and bloodwood. Green suede liner. Magnetic closure. In these photos the lid is being propped up…there is no lid stay. Partly for simplicity and partly because I ran out of build time and needed to get it done. I am the President of my fraternity...

This was the second piece I made. My wife wanted a jewelry cabinet or something along those lines. She pointed to a location in the bathroom where she wanted it and that was it. So last year I made this for her christmas gift. I was lining this thing with suede on christmas eve. I had it...
