Stacking Business Card Holders
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This was a little experiment that turned out really nice. I wanted two business card holders stacked together for travel and sturdy enough to get tossed around in our product bag. Made of Cedar with Walnut sides. A couple of special features, I made the angle less than 90 (as you can see in the side view with cards) so the front card would be slightly raised making it easier to pick up just one card. (Works great!!!) Also, the top pieces above the sides had to be slightly tapered so they would fit together (last picture). Finished with wipe-on Poly.

chess/checker Table
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This chess/checker table was custom designed in a style based on a Shaker twin drawer sewing table affording each participant access to each drawer on either side of the table. Each drawer is made with classic through dovetail joints that incorporates a divider to keep both chess pieces and checker pieces separated. There are four legs at the bottom of the table for stability. Each leg is affixed to the table column with classic dovetail joints with an added copper spider for additional strength. The dominant structure of the table is made of cherry wood. The chess/checker board is of Black Walnut and Maple squares that are joined with hardwood splines and made to float within the cherry border to prevent warpage. Most wood pieces came from trees that grew in the Aiken S.C. Area.Measures used in the building of this table are based on established techniques that have withstood the tests of time and should serve the owners for many years.

Like many woodworkers, I own a basic half-blind dovetail jig, which I use only occasionally for making utility drawers. During the interim, I tend to forget the setup procedures and spacing required to create those elusive perfect dovetails. To help …Source

Walnut Hutch
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
My first time doing a large project in walnut. It turned out beautiful and walnut is so easy to work. I used Danish Oil as the finish and, as expected, it shows off the grain so well. The back was a maple 1/4” plywood from a big box store. To mimic the walnut finish, I used Verathane's Dark Walnut oil stain as directed. Then I put on a quick coat of Verathane's Kona oil stain by pouring it on, spreading it out with a paint spreader, and quickly wiping it off. I made my own wood drawer slides and put slick tape on them. The shelves are adjustable.
