Jeff made this beautiful toy box for his graddaughter. The box is made of oak and the lid has strips of cherry and black walnut that was cut on the family farm in Ohio his dad and grandfather.

Jeff (with the help of Paul Simkins) also made these dinosaurs. When they roll, the sail goes up and down and the jaw moves.

This is a very special “epergne” ornamented with grapes. The word epergne is usually used to describe a centerpiece with several sections. This one will fully decorate a table when completed with dry flowers, fruits, and other objects. The pattern is based in an old French design from the early 1900s. Woods are Maduro and Maple.

A friend is planning for his funeral.  While not sick or remarkably old, he states he would like something a little different.  Growing up in rural ND, he is a cowboy.  Sure!  Why not!  An wooden urn that looks like a cowboy boot, should be perfect.  As a gift, the challenge was accepted.  The heel and sole are Black Walnut and screwed on to the hollow boot shape made of Douglas Fir.

My team is not playing on Thanksgiving.  The remaining turkey is almost gone.  The leftovers reminds me that a skeleton for a grandson's birthday present would be enjoyed.  No turkey for this kid.  DINOSAURS!!  Thanks to the internet and a CNC machine in my garage, I could complete this Velociraptor after dinner.  Made with 1/4" finished Baltic Birch, no nails, screws or glue.

I think it was late one night about a week ago. Gary had a couple of pieces of poplar and a little drawing on the computer and behold, he made this dream come together.

An assortment of resin dyes and a few ounces of epoxy poured into the CNC carved pattern bring life to the surface.

Gary's quote - Woodworking, in its many facets, is so much fun.

Gary made this urn for the family of a friend who recently passed away.  The urn is made of Brazilian Rosewood, Maple and Saeple. Saeple is a Mahogany hardwood from West Africa and is harder than Red Oak and more durable than Mahogany.  Those characteristics make it an excellent choice for carving with a CNC router. So, that's what Gary did.

Chess board made for my neighbor's grandson.  The board surface is walnut and maple squares with mahogany, maple, purple heart and lacewood borders.  The base and drawer underneath is cherry, baltic birch and bubinga knob pull.  The board was made in the conventional way....in the shop.   The chessmen are walnut and maple and were cut with a CNC machine.  

A beautiful original design from a scroll saw artist who has the quality of persistence.

Well deserving of many congratulations on a unique work of art.

Lawrence Peterson had a request from a friend for a “vampire gun” case.  The friend had the engraving accomplished by a master engraver and needed the case built.  Unwilling initially to take on a task beyond his capabilities, with the help of other club members the final piece exceeded the expectations of all.  Teo, Scott, Eckhard, Daryl and Van Ooyen, to name a few.

Pat Hinds made this unique surf board photo frame for his son and family. Nice job Pat!
