Some Recent Projects I have done

[meflick]

Here are some recent projects that I have been working on.  Some others still in the works.

First one is an Intarsia piece. It is a JGR pattern.  I left the star hanging off the tip off.  I used Aspen and blue pine as I recall.

Then this one  is also one I just added to the scroll saw challenge for boxes so you may see it twice.

The directions and the patterns for it came from the staff of Woodworker's Journal - Keepsake Box from Aug. 20, 2014 and was found here: http://www.woodworkersjournal.com/keepsake-box-project/

I used poplar because I had plenty of that on hand and THEN read that it is not a good wood for staining. (It's grain pattern tends to absorb unevenly.) I had it because that is what I use when I am cutting out Iggy/Harvey's animal puzzles and I don't "stain" those. I did apply a pre-stain wood conditioner.  Then applied American Chestnut wood stain about 3 or 4 cuts. Then added a shellac finish.  It turned out ok I think but next time will not use poplar when I want to stain. I am still trying to decide on what I want to put as far as a handle (if at all) and whether I want to flock the inside of the box, and if so, what color.

Then, these are cell phone holders that I got the patterns from scroller online here: http://www.scrolleronline.com These still don't have a finish on them but I am going to be a clear coat poly on them.

and finally, these are the latest "band saw boxes" that I have created from David Picciuto's book (I previously shared the first two.)

Right from the top.......I absolutely love the moon, it's awesome.  The box is terrific.  I love the cell phone holders.  As soon as I saw the patterns I had to buy them, will make them when I get time.  And lastly but not least the band saw boxes, WOW,  they look as if you have been doing them for years.  So I guess all in all A+.

Awesome work !....Love the boxes !

[kmmcrafts]

Beautiful workmanship on all of them.. I always wanted to try to make the phone stands to sell but never did.. Must be the ADD/ADHD .. I see things to make.. then all of a sudden have a customer distract my thinking.. then forget because I see something else to make..

They all look great. I love the boxes on the bottom. Beautiful finish to.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

 @kmmcrafts Kevin.  Those cell phone holders as I am sure you can tell, do not take much time at all to actually cut and put together.  You could probably get them done sometime when you have just a little free time and before your ADD/ADHD kicked in. 

@wombatie - Marge, glad I could motivate you with those cell phone holders.  I am trying to decide if I want to get the animal patterned ones too.  Not sure what I am going to do with them, since I don't sell.  I did take the one kicking out for my own use. May set them out at Easter and tell family take what they want. But then my feelings might be hurt if they take nothing!

I might make them for Christmas and give them to the family except my granddaughter, I already made her a sausage dog phone holder.  I got the animal ones too but wish I hadn't not as keen on them.

That's why I haven't bought the animal ones yet Marg, can't decide how well I like them.  Where did you a the sausage dog one?  My brother-in-law have sausage dogs.  Always have - they are their children.  I might want to make them one if you can tell me where to find the pattern.  They would probably love them.

Someone from here made the pattern and I asked him about it.  Give me a while and I will find out who it was. 

Marg

That was faster than I expected.  I got it from Marshall Dillon.  Just send him a message, I am sure he will oblige.
