This is a breadbox Guy created from scrap wood from another project.  He decided to experiment with rabbet joints, which he had not used before.  It would not have turned out nearly as well without the invaluable help he got from the monitors, foremen and officers working in the shop when he did the project.  One interesting note is that, when fitting the interior of the lid, it ended up being so tight that Guy ended up just leaving it in place without glue rather than risk cracking the wood removing it.

This is a fanciful clock ornamented in a style that evokes the oriental design. It is quite easy to make, it has no complications of any kind and can be recommended even to beginners. The pattern is based on an old English design from the early 1900s. It has been completely redrawn in the computer using the most advanced graphics techniques aand the pattern is available at:

Woodchips members Tim and Steve built this upper cabinet to match the existing lower cabinet for a Sun City resident. It measures 34” high by 44” wide. The cabinet box is hard-rock maple melamine, the face and door frame is cherry, the glass is ‘glue chip’, and the shelves are 3/8” glass. The trim and cove moulding hand crafted in the shop. Tim & Steve also did the finishing. Nice work gentlemen! Interested in a custom piece for your home? Reach out to our project team by clicking the CUSTOM ORDER link on our home page.

Lawrence Peterson made this is attractive jewelry cabinet beautifully ornamented with fretwork and overlays. The use of the different colours for the woods creates a nice visual effect. Peterson employs no stains in his work, relying entirely on the natural colors of the woods.  This work shows with Goncola (tiger wood), Hard Maple, Walnut, Wenge, and a bit of Teak for that bottom shelf.

Wanna be buried in a boot?  NO!  You ain't no cowboy!  Made from Western Fir and walnut heel and sole, this wooden boot will be a friend's final home.  Getting the sole to match the boot shape was a challenge, as shown in a picture in clamps.  Birdseye Maple veneer depicts the owners name.  While still going strong, the boot makes for an interesting conversation piece.  

Lawrence Peterson made this quite simple, but at the same time elegant and attractive, mantel clock in English style. It is quite simple to make so it is recommended for the intermediate scroller or even for the beginner wanting to try something interesting. The pattern is after a very old English design.

Woods are Marado, Walnut, and Hard Maple. 

Scroller Lawrence Peterson made this very decorative vase in Japanese style, perfect for dry flowers. The sides are ornamented with overlays with floral motifs. These overlays are very delicate and demand high precision and care from the scroller. The pattern is based in a very old English  design.

In this design it is essential to use two contrasting wood colours to achieve a good result. The woods here are Paduk and Yellow Heart with an accent of Wenge.
