Two Cubs getting some Honey. - Black walnut door in a oak box. Carved sometime before 1975.
This was the first real carving I did. I was able to live with a carver for a week and this is what he taught me.
We
spent the first day using chisels, but after that all the carving was
done with a dremel tool. Turned out to be the best tool for me to
carve with. I've been using one ever since for most of my
carvings.

Prong Horn Antelope on Walnut
- Made this for my Dad. He's kept it for 20-30 years. Since
Mom passed away, he's had to cut down on the clutter, so it came back
to me.
The dowel on the side opens the box. |

| Knotty Oak Box-
I was working in a custom furniture shop and ran across this knot in a
board. For some reason it appealed to me, and so it became the
lid for a Jewlery box. |

Fish Tail Oak Dovetail Jewlery box -
Mother in Law bought me a dovetail jig for Christmas one year and this
was the first test of the jig. Not too bad for a first try.
The box is Fish Tail Oak, and the top is ??? with a Wenge stripe. |

| Same box, open-
If I was to do it over, I'd ajust the handle to more reflect the other side. |

| Turned Jewlery Box-
Ash, with Paduke highlights. My Daughter wanted me to make
something for her. I had a little ash and was able to turn this
box for her. This is the first lidded box I've done. The
top is a little looser than I'd like, but it works just fine. |  |
