Here are a few items "I designed" and made that might give me 'creds' for my moniker. Maybe more another time.

If you download the jewelry box and magnify the view, you can see that I hand-carved the sides of the box with a knife to give the appearance of being woven. The main parts are Mahogany from the Philippines. The wood was salvaged from High School gymnasium bleachers (that wood was an amazing find). It is 13" wide. The top center of the box is Birdseye Maple. The insides are felt lined (second picture). (Unfortunately, when these images were taken some time ago, they were quite dark. But the photography is not my focus here. The woodworking is.)

The "oak stool" top is "book matched" that I cut from a single piece of oak that was quite thick. The legs and stretchers are secured with Ebony pegs (no metal fasteners). The stool is extremely comfortable and we have used it many times as an extra chair at the table when many were eating. The seat is the same height as a normal dining room chair.

Hope you enjoyed my work. Now you know why I call myself "Woodworkerman."
