Keepsake Box by Harry

This is a wedding gift for my sister and her fiancé. It is a keepsake box made from Hawaiian Mango and Monkey Pod wood. This will also serve as the wedding card box by removing the tray. It features a removable heart shaped puzzle piece that will be used as the wedding cake topper. The heart is held in the top by magnets. I started with a chunk off of a large slab and milled, sculpted and chiseled my way to this finished product. It was a very rewarding build with a lot of new techniques.

TV Stand Cabinet by Cam

I built this cabinet to be used as a TV stand. The body of the cabinet is made of 3/4 inch walnut plywood with a 1 3/4inch thick face frame and the doors are made of red oak. The highlight of the project for me was using wood bleach on the doors. The bleach gives them a nice clean and modern look and highlights the texture and rays in the oak. After bleaching, the doors were finished with Osmo white wax and the cabinet was finished with Osmo poly-x oil.

Dovetailed Box by Lasse

I am a 16 years old boy from Denmark, that love your videos.

I recently made this box out of mahogany, joined with dovetails. (I used your tutorial, it was great). It was the first time I tried making dovetails, I think it went reasonably well.

Segmented Bowl by Bill

The guys from 21 pilots live here in Columbus so i made this bowl for them. To match the color scheme from their new album i used black walnut and locust with a little bit of hard maple in their logo. Each segment layer is made of 21 pieces
