This is currently a work in progress. Please bear with me while I update this to include my past projects.
Listed below are the woodworking projects that I’ve done. The list may not be complete or have detailed descriptions, as I did not keep records of what was done early on when I made them. However, if possible, I’ve provided pictures of them. For convenience, my newest completed projects will always be on top.
Cedar Planters
Who couldn’t use a few cedar planters to add some outside decor? Add flowers, planets, or anything else in them to step up your entryway or deck. Yes, I do make and sell these, so if interested, just use the contact page to put in an inquiry.
Ink Pens
Nothing more elegant than hand-turned wood or acrylic ink pens on a lathe. You can make them glass shiny, and they come complete with refillable ink cartridges. You can see how I make these in my Pen Making article. You can also purchase these or others, just use the contact page to put in an inquiry.
Reclaimed Wood Wall Mount for Baskets
This was a project I did for my daughter’s room. She had tons of stuffed animals and needed a place to store them. I used some reclaimed 2×4 material from a previous home renovation we did to build this.
Small Kitchen Cabinet
During our early years in our house, we needed a small kitchen cabinet that matched the existing cabinets in our kitchen. This cabinet was going to be between our refrigerator and stove. The purpose was to house stove-related items, such as oils and sprays, and be our little “to-do” center. All the hardware, with the exception of the drawer slides, matched the existing set so that no one would realize it was a new addition.
It is a very plain cabinet with one twist – the top. The top is a maple top designed in a cutting board layout. I did this in the event we ever decided to dispose of the cabinet, I could keep the top, trim it up, and plane it down to remove the finish.
Maple Countertop
As I stated above, our little stove/to-do center had a Maple countertop. This top was designed so that it could essentially be used as an edge-grain cutting board if desired. While we never used it as that because of the finish, it could still be trimmed down on the sides and planed a little to remove it, bringing it back to a cutting board status.
Large Bookshelf with Doors
After we did a major home renovation, we ended up needing to create some furniture to fill one of the rooms. This is one piece of that furniture.
It is a very large bookshelf that had to be assembled and finished in my shop. It features two large bookshelf units with adjustable shelving and a pair of doors below them.

Media Shelf for CDs, DVDs, and Books
Again, this was another piece of furniture after our major home renovation. This is one piece of that furniture.
It is a very large, shallow bookshelf. It features adjustable shelving and a pair of closing doors for each section. However, after we got it in place, we decided not to attach the clear doors and leave it open.

Fireplace Mantel
The image on the top left is one of the first projects I made when we moved into our new house in 2002. Our fireplace lacked a mantel, and we both thought it could really use one. The 3 subsequent images are of a new replacement faux beam mantel I made in 2024.
