This is my favorite piece of furniture that I built about 14 year ago. It's a bonnet top Highboy scaled down from the more traditional size. The reason it's my favorite is because it's my first "real piece of furniture". prior to this piece I had only built cabinets and a couple of not so great coffee tables. I learned so much on this project but the most important thing I learned is; Don't be afraid to try projects that you think are beyond your skill level because you may just surprise yourself as I did on this one.

May favorite project is usually the last one that I've completed. Like this Bubinga/Curly Maple business card box.

Bunk beds made from Wood plans, for my two grandsons. Only changes were I used slats instead of plywood panels, and I made the rails a few inches longer. The little guy on the bottom is already off the growth chart for his age. They are also the reason this is my favorite project. Wally

I made this jewelry box for a friends mother. The wood is pine, aspen, and rosewood. I made the hinges that pull the tray up and in as the lid is raised or lowered. The flowers are done with the scrollsaw and then put back in afterwards. I am not very good with the camera so the shots don't do the box justice.
Thanks for looking.

This is a bird feeder I gave to my sister a few years back. It's over 2 feet tall, hexagon shaped with a hand hammered and soldered copper roof. There are over 750 individual pieces of wood in this project.

Although I built these two tables six or seven years ago, I still think they represent the closest I've ever come to being 'happy' with anything. I'm 'satisfied' with a lot of things, but that's not the same.
