Simple Zebrawood frame with white dyed wood inlay transitioning into acid etched glass mirror. Nothing too fancy; just cut and glued up the wood for best matching grain direction, biscuits used to help corner joints, shellac and wipe on satin varnish.

Walnut and Curly Maple. The pictures don’t quite do the curly maple justice. My wife did the etching on the mirror glass.

Probably one of a woodworkers “obligatory” projects. The big one is about 16”x19” and the little one is made from it’s scraps. It measures about 6”x8”. Hard maple and walnut with salad bowl finish. We severely underestimated the sanding time on this one:)

First one is a figured Mahogany, second is Cocobolo with crushed mother of pearl/epoxy inlay. thanks to my wife for carving the inlay. I like the look sapwood adds on the cocobolo; every asks if it is a secondary piece glued to it. We ended up putting family pictures in the digital picture frame and giving them away as gifts.

Some that I made, and some that my wife did.

I made this as a Christmas gift for my Dad; it is a box for keeping Bridge cards in. Made from walnut with quilted maple inlay. The top and bottom are from a single block, bandsawed apart. I used a template to route out the inside of the bottom, and router to cut the rabbit in the top. Biggest challenge was actually finding bridge-sized cards to put inside.

Our first batch of bottle stoppers that we gave to family as Christmas presents. Made out of marblewood, olive wood, and ambrosia maple.

Made several of these for Christmas presents. These are curly and quilted maple, bookmatched with wenge inlay.
