Something for Kathy

This box was made for Kathy, a simple wooden box, for keep sakes or whatever, with mitred corners and a slider top. It is birdseye maple with red mahogany stained and 4 coats of polyurethane.

Recycling Mahogany

It is made for recycled mahogany, that was our window valance, some of it has been reworked and here is the result. I originally made this writing slope for myself but my brother-in-law was visiting with his girlfriend and she liked it, so I gave it to her.

As I gave the first one away I decided to make myself another, plus one more just in case, you never know. It gives me a place to to put down some ideas, designs, draw up new trucks or box designs and if I get creative maybe a piece of furniture or two. Besides this is the last of the old window valance.



Fire Truck for my Uncle

This new truck was made for my Uncle Norbert, it still has the same basic design, I have to work on that. It is mostly birdseye maple, the tires are were from an old loom I did some repair work on, the ladder rails are walnut, the tool boxes are zebra wood and the dash and engine cover divider are bloodwood. And like my other work all parts are handmade.

A witing slop for my Mother.

I made my Mother this writing slop, it’s made from cooked curley maple or tiger maple as some call it. The cloth on the inside lid is my wife’s work, she had some very nice died material I could use and I know my Mother likes a bit of green.
