"Endless Knot" made from white oak.

"Reflection"

2009-03-28T20:51:00.000-07:00

“Reflection” first came to me in a dream. Once fully awake I sketched and then drafted the plans. I have ‘bout 45 hours involved in the creating. Unseen is the neodymium magnets which hold the lids together. I notched and buried them in the two front cornerz of each lid and their corresponding surface before assembly. Basically an invisible magnetic latch. The woods used are cherry(china red), hickory(madeira gold) and walnut for the bowties. The 5/32” brass rod at the bottom was an after thought, just needed a little extra flair. This is a gift for my best friendz, (Mark & Dawn), 18th anniversary. Extremely fun to design and create!! Peace

"Discombobulate"

2009-03-17T21:20:00.000-07:00

“Discombobulate” was inspired by a clear plastic toy 3-D maze I had when I was little. It was about 2.5” cubed and used a .125” steel ball. This one uses 1” steel balls and is 7” cubed. There are 4 levels to get through before the ball will fall out. It does not open and does include a trap, which has been coined the “Marvin”.(Thanx Marvin for reminding me to put the trap in!!) Hickory for the cube and red oak for all of the cornerz, with black cherry and deep ebony respectively. My nephew Isaac received this for a belated birthday gift.

Boo's Birthday Bed

My niece is upgrading herself from a crib to a real bed, so I made her one. Again, I used reclaimed lumber. Also her 3rd birthday is this month. Perfect timing.

Sofa Table for Bec.

2008-12-17T19:08:00.000-08:00

Created this table from these tongue and grove deck boards and 2x4's, salvaged from a late 1800's home. The owner was tossin' 'em. His loss, my gain. Cut, shaped and carved the handles from steel and hickory. My sister Bec will receive this for x-mas.

Doll bedz for my nieces.

2008-11-10T20:37:00.000-08:00

These are two of five red oak mission style bedz I have made
for my nieces 'American Girl' dolls. The bedding was made by
Mema. The box spring serves as storage for clothes etc.
The size is 14" x 22" x 9.25"(at the head board).
A total joy to make and doesn't cost me a cent.
