This was a project that was an experiment that sort of went wrong. I tried for the first time to take a scrolled inlay pattern, then fill it in with polymer clay and bake according to the instructions. At first I was very pleased with the results, then I looked closely. Yikes! The lid now has a...

A little tooth pick holder for a friend that is a gun nut. Turned from a Cherry pen blank.

Here is a poplar mosaic box I just finished making. The light color is sapwood, the dark colors are heartwoods from different boards. This one is a first for me on a few things: First, this time I paid attention to grain orientation when constructing the sides, trying to align the grains up...

This is a small trinket box that I made. First time doing the coves with my table saw. Really happy with the way that it turned out. Mix of Pine, Black walnut and African Mahogony.

Another small trinket box.

Well, here it is, my first box. You can see the whole story about it and many more pictures of it in my latest blog It has been a long road of learning, but I am fairly pleased with the results… Thanks for taking the time to look!

Well here it is-the Box!! Again, this was a process of learning, having never attempted anything like this before. I am open to any helpful hints for my next effort. Rick provided me with some rough cut circles, cut out of scraps of wood we had lying around. Some of it is plywood, some cedar...
