Past projects:
Orca Whale IntarsiaI made this for my dad. It was my first intarsia
project, and one of my first projects on my scroll saw.
Swing Set
After trying in vain to keep the metal swing set attached to the ground, we
finally decided to build a wooden swingset & bury the bottom 3 feet in the
ground. If
that doesn't stay attached to the ground, nothing will!
Woven Scarf
I wove a plaid scarf for Dani. I matched the colors to her kilt.
It's a bit bulkier than I'd intended, but it's very soft. I am very pleased
with how well it turned out. I hadn't woven anything in over 10 years and I had
problems with my loom. It actually broke in the middle of making the scarf, so
I had to take it apart and fix it before I could finish.
Tree Wall Hanging
I made this wall hanging for Rob for Christmas 2006. I carved the tree as a
out of a seperate piece of Walnut. I created the initial tree shape using
my scroll saw, and then used my chisels & rotary tool to do the bulk of
the carving. I got the idea for making it after seeing one made of some
plaster-looking material in a magazine. The text says "Grow old along with me
the best is yet to be".
Wood PuzzlesI made the first ones for my kids, but since then have
made a few more for one of my nephews.
