JEWELRY

Welcome to my web site. You will find lots to see here.
There are carvings and band saw boxes with some free downloadable plans and instructions- and
some books and booklets for sale too.
The blogs show my mistakes as well as how I fixed them- always good for a laugh.
Thanks for looking and let me know if I can help you with any woodworking project, Donna Menke.

MISCELLANEOUS WOODWORKING

MISCELLANEOUS CARVING STYLES

Emily the Dachshund
Blog- This was a difficult
carving project with a live
subject and in mahogany.

NEW! Students' Work page. Really a way to show off work done
under my careful supervision. More will be added later, but it is
interesting right now. Take a look, click here to see it.

Harp Blog- The harp is
done! It was a lot of hard
work, but it was worth it. I'm
even learning some songs.
56 photos.

My Blogs- follow along as I make a few projects:

NEWER! Free patterns and instructions:
I've added links on all the carvings and other items for which I have plans and patterns.
Look for this gift box icon for the items that have links.
These are each 1-2 pages that I use in my classes and they are not as complete or as detailed as my
magazine articles, but they will probably be enough of a guide. Good Luck!
