  1. ‘Uproot’ Maple Sideboard

    The inspiration for this table came from the western maple top. It was sliced and stored by a local arborist who was generously thinning out his wood collection. It's been a fun project these past three weeks as I've tried many a new technique. For more on the process please visit my blog entry...
  2. Western Maple Bowl

    I've been working hard trying build on my skills as a bowl turner. This bowl is a 9" x 3" Western Maple bowl. It's quite figured, which makes me very happy. It's finished in a food safe finish made of a wax and lemon oil mix.
  3. Purpleheart Box/Valet with Drawer

    First off, purpleheart is just awesome to look at. As well as curly maple… So I had to combine the two on this project! This box was actually made for me to use, surprisingly. The splines and the handle are the curly maple, while the drawer was made from some scrap alder I believe. This...

I came across some western maple and decided to build a Chest of Drawers/Tool Box. This is the first large furniture project that I have tackled. The drawers are inset...

    Rough cutting / oops I don't have enough wood! My wife and I are expecting a new baby shortly, so our youngest child will be abandoning his toddler's bed for a "big boy" bed. It's only a twin mattress - but it's pretty massive for a four year old. And quite the step up from his toddler's bed...

    The Dresser Design to Conception Are you interested in doing inlay, veneer, designing and building a project on your own? Here's an example of a job I designed and built for a client last year. I already had a blog (perfect45degree.blogspot.com/) before discovering LJ. My guess is that most...

    'Uproot' Sideboard table build I wrapped up finishing and posted the completed project: The photos below can be viewed larger size in the flickr set. === This project began with a plan to make use of a 1" slab of maple I got my hands on recently. The figure of the wood, the shape of the...
  10. Wood & Lumber
    For years I've been watching the pile of pallets behind our building come and go and haven't really gotten anything from save for a piece or two of plywood when they have a special container come in. Last week, while walking by I noticed some new ones on the pile and noticed some 'different'...
