I recently completed a coffee table that I was commissioned to design and build. The customer had an olive ash burl slab that had been warehoused for over 20 years, and wanted me to make a coffee table. The slab had natural edges, and he wanted that appearance preserved. I produced several...
Finished this one up this past weekend, it'll ship out to a friend over in the Netherlands once I get the case for it built. Curly English Walnut and Wenge wasn't a wood choice I'd have picked my, but it turned out to be a great mix. Draws about 40# @ 28".
Riser profile was cut on the bandsaw...
I made four of these crosses – three for neighbors as Christmas gifts, and the last one my Mom got…
Because of my lighting it is tough to tell in the first picture – but the same angle that is cut on the ends is cut on the face for visual effect. The second pic shows it some… To hang it I...
My better half made these too. I gave a hand in making the seedy center, but the rest is all her work…
Flower is made of satinwood (yellow heart), poplar, walnut, and I think the pot is blood wood, mahogany, and wenge. We found the pattern in a book called, “Intarsia Woodworking for...

I needed to get a wedding gift for a friend so I thought making them a box would be the way to go. I used Wenge for the sides and figured maple for the top. The insert dividers are mahagany and the inside bottom is tan leather. Finished in laquer then rubbed with wax and rotten stone. Made a few...
I was commanded....er commisioned by SWMBO to build a pair of small tables for the beach house and this is the start of the first one. It's my first experience with wenge. If you guys want to see if your tools really are sharp, get a hunk of this stuff and start gnawing on it. Man it's tough...
