I joined the box together with a box joint and had some salvaged wine cases. I liked the way the lettering looks on the bottom and top. The finish is 3 coats of General Clear.

This is a 5 board bench that is a 9 board bench. The legs are two pieces of walnut doweled together and the top is three pieces of maple. The floors in my home are maple that was grown and milled locally with a mixture of birdseye tiger and everything in between. I like the way it looks so I used tiger maple on the sides and birdseye in the center. The top is screwed on from the bottom using glued blocks to the rails. Sanded down to 220 and 4 coats of General Clear.

This is a small box that I made for a friend who lives in Portugal that i will be visiting. The Birdseye Maple I choose for the top and bottom have marks that resemble seagulls. It really makes a project special when you can find something in the wood that give you project special meaning or character. In the center of the box is Makore with has a wave like grain pattern. I sanded the box down to 320 grit and finished it with three coats of General Clear Coat. Living on the east coast of the United States and Portugal on the west coast of Europe separated by the Atlantic ocean the seagull on the box give this project and gift a little special meaning.

Here is another tin clock! This one is made out of old barn wood. I now have one more ceiling tin left.

This clock frame is made from Bloodwood with dovetail splines. An old ceiling tin was used for the face of the clock. Finished with 3 coats of general clear coat. I was able to picked up a few of these tiles in different sizes. Its going to be fun making a few of these clocks each one a little different. I would love to get some feedback or any ideas.Thanks

A few of the LJ have posted cigar box guitar so I thought i would give it a try. This was a great project! There was a lot of research into the making of a guitar which added to the fun. The cigar box is made of cedar and the neck is fretted and made of walnut. I used General clear coat as a finish sanded down to 320.Learning about the history of these guitars and build one seams to be addictive. Before I was finished with this one I was looking for cigar boxes to build the next cbg. Now to find the time to learn how to play.

This is a ram made by my father-in-law. He would have loved to have been a part of the LJ community. He enjoyed making signs miniature shaker style furniture and these animals. I just wanted to share this project. I have not seen any of these and thought they would make for a nice idea for a project. I like the way he had carved out the horns and the texture and coloring he had achieved and then to mount it on a base with wheels. I would had liked to have seen how he made it. I wasn’t sure were to post this since I did not make it. Thanks for looking. Will

This plaque is made of Monkey Pod. It’s a project that no one wants to make. The circular indentation explains how it was made on a table saw without the riving knife. This plaque now hangs in my shop so I know not to make another one. I was saved by standing to the side of the saw so it just scratched my right side. Lesson learned and shared.
