Projects you are the most proud of ,, I thought a thread of our completed projects would be worth while .

Some of you guys and gals are artist and should show off a little .

Feel free to post your pics on here .


I have to show off this project ,,,,because of the abnormality in the limb when I cut the tree down ,, the design on top the tower is 100% natural .the wood is walnut and the abnormality is from a maple tree.

I ended up with many of these and the design changed as the slices were cut.

This is a jewelery box I made for a gift , the tower is for hanging necklace .
By the way this was made completely with hand tools .
the wood was cut from a walnut tree well over 100 years old and dried for several years ,,,I did use a chain saw to slice the stumps into sort of flat pieces and worked it down from there with hand tools .

This is western red cedar
I have a elder who is bed ridden and this made her life easier .
