Lawrence Peterson presents a fairly straightforward and simple scrolling project. The craftsman only needs to be able to cut straight lines a few times. The curves are all simple. The Grecian style mirrors are 25” tall by 15” wide.  One is made with Walnut, Cherry and Maple and the second with Hickory, Maple and Cherry.  Finish is a spray polyurethane.

This urn was made in the shop several years ago as an experiment.  In collaboration will Scott S, we learned segmented stave bowl construction.  The urn is made from walnut, maple and cherry hardwoods.  After the recent passing of a good friend, Gary F removed the urn from display and asked Dan A to engrave the top as the family had prescribed.  The gift was very much appreciated by the family.

Paul S had a bunch of Red Cedar boards he had for a long time in his garage.  He thought of a very unique project for those boards.  You will not find another hall tree like this anywhere.  Very nicely done.

Chess board made from walnut, maple and cherry hardwood.  Made primarily because I printed the chess pieces with my new 3D printer.  What a hoot to use.  Many thanks to Tim L. for steering and teaching me to use.  I am still learning.  The board has a storage drawer for all the pieces and the sides were carved with CNC machine.

Good news, Bad news.  The good news is a beautiful rolling pin  with walnut handles was made as a gift.  Engraved, then filled with epoxy resin and turned smooth.  The handles are made to spin freely from the rest of the pin.

The bad news is the species of wood is a mystery.  Jeff J picked up some logs at a firewood supplier and placed them on the rack behind the shop.  Part of one was fairly straight, about 2 1/2" in diameter and unchecked.  He gave Gary F a 18" piece.   

Guy Raymaker replaced the pedestal sink that seems to be a feature of every Sun City powder home with this vanity he constructed in the Woodchips workshop.  The materials are birch lumber and birch 3/4" plywood.  The finish is lacquer over the wood's natural color.  Guy thanks all the shop foreman who gave him excellent advice along the way.  

Here is an art noveau style kitchen cabinet originally conceived as a kitchen cabinet for spices and small bottles.  A clever design, a fun project, and not particularly difficult for anybody with some scrollsaw experience. The pattern is based in an old Italian design from the beginning of the XX century.

Woods are: Yellow Wood, Hard Maple, Bubinga, Teak, Black Walnut, and Paduk.  
Finish is a natural Danish Oil.  No stains were used. Solid brass fittings.
Size: 32” height, 27” width, 5.5” depth.  Woods are 1/4” and 1/8”

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”.
