A coffer is a strongbox or small chest for holding valuables.  This Ferrara Coffer, named after the Italian town, was hand cut on the scrollsaw by Lawrence Peterson. This is an alluring coffer nicely ornamented with floral motifs in the art nouveau style. The pattern is based in an old Italian design from the beginning of the 20th Century.

Lawrence Peterson and Larry Richards made this Air Force insignia to commemorate Veterans Day, as well as for Richards' having recently been hosted on the Honor Flight [https://www.honorflight.org/] to Washington, D.C.  The Roman numerals MCMXLVII represent the number 1947. Woods are Purple Heart, Morado, Maple and Sapele, with a polyurethane spray gloss finish. 

Seeking a shoe changing bench for the backdoor, Tim Miller designed and fabricated this bench out of pine with an accent strip of maple and walnut. The bench top is 12” x 15”. Bench dimensions overall are 12” deep, 15” wide, and 16” tall. Width at the base is 19 1/2”.

Teo made this cabinet for his son out of black walnut and tiger maple. Two coats of Danish oil and two coats of laquer brought out its beauty. 

Teo was determined to make a bow front table from a design by McLaughlin at https://www.epicwoodworking.com/product/be/.  Teo is a subscriber to his channel. This relatively small table is a real jewel, packed with stimulating design treatments along with more advanced woodworking techniques. The table’s contemporary design features the bowfront form, sculptural legs, and creative uses for dramatic effects.

Gary Means created this unique Kumiko Lamp using Hinoki (Japanese Cypress), cherry and white oak. This pattern uses three different angles to fit the pieces together (22.5, 67.5, 45 degrees). Several jigs were constructed to help cut the different angles. It was a fun, and time consuming piece. Nice work Gary!

This urn is made for a lady that loves the classic Georgian or Victorian home style.  Made from a poplar base moulding, called Lambs Tongue base, was left over from a previous project.   The top and feet are made from a piece of quilted maple and the bottom is white oak finished in polyurethane.  

Gary saw this mural on the wall at a restaurant and it inspired him to make it into a cutting board.  So he snapped a photo on his phone, went home and converted the image into a computer file for his CNC machine.  After gluing up some maple boards and waiting 45 minutes for the machine to do its thing, he filled the carvings with epoxy resin.  The results are better than expected!  You can almost feel the contempt the chicken displays for the cutting board.  Fun project.

With a nod to yesteryears, Gary made a nickel candy dispenser from poplar, walnut and plexiglass, as a birthday gift.  The machine stirs nostalgic best wishes with good and bad news.  The good news is there is no coins required to get a few of your favorite candies.  The bad news is you must fill the machine yourself and the few candies dispensed used to cost a nickel, now cost about a dollar!  The back of the machine has a birthday reminder carved into it.  A fun gift and easy project.
