Here is another quick and easy project I just completed. A birdhouse key hanger. Made of pine for the house, and cedar for the eaves and shelves (I think it is cyprus cedar, not really sure to tell you the truth). My wife’s kitchen is birdhouses, so I wanted to make her something that she would like, and we really needed something to hang our keys on. The house is 10 inches wide (not including the eaves), by 15 inches tall.

Another one of those ‘made in an hour’ projects that is easy to do..

Here is an apple wall plaque.. My mom’s kitchen is decorated in apples, and right after new years, I went out to the shop and wanted to make something quick, so I came up with this. It’s made of knotty pine and stained dark. It’s about 10 inches wide, by 8 inches tall, including the stem. I wanted a 3d effect, so I used a chisel to shape the stem, and I also removed some wood in the middle to create a recess.

I actually was inspired by MsDebbieP on her website under woodworking, where she has a comment on the left that says “Knots of Wood – The Spirit of the Wood will tell you what to make, if you have the insight to look and listen.”

Not much, but these are the things that you do when you have a little time on your hands, plus, I really needed to get some kind of a project posted here :)
