Walnut Tealight Candle Holder

Posted November 27, 2022November 28, 2022 JoePosted in General, Home Accessories, New Design

I really like the design of this candle holder.  I found an image of this somewhere on the internet and decided to reproduce it.  This is not my design and if anyone reads this blog you will recognize my honesty […]

Wall Display Cabinet

Posted September 10, 2022November 29, 2022 JoePosted in General, Home Accessories

When I saw this piece in an issue of Fine Woodworking magaizine I was immediately attracted to the design and thought this is what’s missing in our bathroom.  The origianl design was in another wood species and I chose to […]

Grateful for the Opportunity

Posted January 19, 2022January 26, 2022 JoePosted in General, Home Accessories, New Design, Spiritual, Woodworking

Woodworking is a joy for me and I always feel more whole when I’m working on a project.  But I’m the type of person who likes to work on one thing at a time, otherwise I tend to make those […]

Modern Mission-Style Jewelry Box

Posted December 27, 2019December 27, 2019 JoePosted in General, Home Accessories, New Design

Just finished another jewelry box in quarter-sawn white oak and walnut.  It is a reproduction of a design that caught my attention back in 2005 mainly because of the number curves in the design, both concave and convex.  But the […]

Veneered-Top Jewelry Box

Posted November 20, 2019November 21, 2019 JoePosted in General, Home Accessories

This is my first project using veneer, a jewelry/keepsake box in mahogany with a Karelian birch book-matched veneer top.  I think the burl figure and colors are gorgeous and complement the dark mahogany perfectly.  Karelian birch is sourced from northern […]

It’s been well over a year since I published an update to my website.  I’ve been continuing practice of my hand-cut dovetails, learning a couple of new skills (bent lamination and veneering), and also started to volunteer in Grand Teton […]

Entryway Organizer

Posted March 23, 2017August 22, 2019 JoePosted in Home Accessories, New Design

Here is a new piece recently completed for our house.  My wife and I designed it based on a number of Google Images and Pinterest ideas for inspiration.  The hooks are hand-forged and locally made.  It’s made from cherry, the […]

Bandsaw Sculpting

Posted November 4, 2015May 23, 2017 JoePosted in Home Accessories, Woodworking

Over the summer I started experimenting with wood “sculpting” using a bandsaw, i.e., a finished piece with curves in two or more planes.  It’s probably better to term this as shaping rather than sculpting as the latter is generally understood […]
