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.

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:

Bruce made this connect four game using American Cherrywood. It is finished with polyurethane.

If you can't find a game on TV or find something better to do, you can always play cribbage.  This one shouts Packer Backer, but other team fans are allowed to play.  Just a scrap of poplar.  Used a CNC machine of crave out the logo, then filled it with green epoxy.  Drilling the holes by hand would be painful, so I used the machine.  I know a real craftsman would make the pegs, but I bought them.
