LAVA This box was specially commissioned for an exhibition in US, 'Boxes and their Makers' - mirroring 'Celebrating Boxes' that I set up with another UK box maker and old friend, Peter Lloyd, back in 2001. Because of the extraordinary veneer that is its main feature this is a unique and never...

I built this for my sister-in-law and her husband as a gift after the birth of their first child, Hannah. I wanted to try some things that I hadn't done yet and also to make something beautiful and sturdy for them. This was my first experience working with cherry, doing inlay, making wooden...

I posted a project a couple of days ago on making small wooden hinges. This is a follow-up to that post. One of the hardest things to do when making these is to drill the barrels for the hinge pin. I made a jig to help with that and it works quite nicely. I made it, and since I am me, I am...

I finally got around to completing this small bookcase for my business partner. It is made out of solid Brazilian Cherry (the heaviest wood I've ever used!).

I had a small bit of unusual colored pecan and some small walnut pieces so glued them up and made my second EZ mitre box. Spalted white oak handle was a cut of from the feet on another box. These are not the best pics I have ever taken and they make the Shipwright hinge look huge. It is only...

This is a thank you gift for some friends in S.Dakota. Box is mesquite with no glue box joints (pinned with 1/8" dowels), dividers and tray are black walnut, finish is BLO and shellac, and the hinges are Shipwright style of mesquite with live edge. It's going to be hard to part with this one!

That's because you have. I was recently required to do a course related to workshop skills and safety where I needed to do a woodwork project that would challenge me. So I went a-Googling for images and found this box made by Mike (stefang). Well one look and I loved it - I decided that I...

Hi, you can say it's been a while since I last posted a project. Time has been short with the university, but I managed to get a few things done nonetheless. Here's a small bedside box I made for my significant other's necklace. The body is plum burl, from a century old tree that was cut ten...

This is my first real hand tool project. I did use a table saw to rough size the stock and to cut the hinge groove but other than that not much noise was made. I rather liked the experience. When I decided to try hand tools I built some wooden planes and they became the purpose for this "box...

A young lady I know asked for a box she could give as a baptism present and left the design to me. A light coloured wood variety seemed right, so I dug out this piece of ash that has some nice colour variations in it. I tried to get away from my usual rustic look, but couldn't resist following...

This box was the result. Dimensions: 14×9 x 5", finished with rubbed on shellac, "Jerry Hinge," raised...

Last year I designed a simple jig that would allow me to drill accurate holes to make wooden hinges. Recently I came up with this plan for a pencil box that would use a wooden chain as a lid and would roll open. The box is a very simple design, just some 1/2" Cherry that I had sitting in the...

I've been tossing around this mesh idea since my bed build It was an accident. Really. I just oversized the rough width of the bed slats too much and I ended up sawing off 1/16" of them. I liked these thin strips so much that I played with'em. Mostly bending and weaving. And I even brought it...
