NIGHTWATCH...A Dream Catcher...

NIGHTWATCH...A Dream Catcher...This is a Walnut “cookie”, I've had for some years. Thought it might be good for something like this but it got lost in the pile. Fished it out and said to myself, “use it”. Think of something…
Been needing a long term project. This was kind of a time killer. I could work and think I was doing something. Didn't really think I'd ever finish it, but then it became a challenge to not quit. Turned into a Zen, meditative, escape thing.
After hating it at first, to kind, of escaping into it. Memories of camping and watching the Owls come out at night. Off to dominate the night.
I used a plunge router, a Weecher rotary tool, and a Dremel tool. That's about it.
After it was almost finished, I saw it as a “Dream Catcher” A stalker of the night.
Only the children and the pure of heart, will ever catch it working…
Beware bad dreams…
Enjoy, thanks for looking…...............

Porch Bench-BoxI made this to sit in the porch…look pretty and hide packages when delivered. I enjoyed this project, especially figuring out the latch mechanism. Finished with spar varnish: 3 coats on the top and 1 on box. Top: walnut and mahogany. Latch: Purple Heart, mahogany and walnut. Box: maple ply.

Jewelry Boxes

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Jewelry BoxesA friend ask if I could assist him in building jewelry boxes for his granddaughters. The plan is from Wood Magazine and the case is made from 1/2 inch cherry. Drawer pulls and velvet liner are on back order but he can finish that up on his own. Fun little project. I hope the girls like them.
