| MISCELLANEOUS WOODWORKING |
| These lace bobbins are made out of Pink Ivory and Bloodwood. I learned how to make these in a class at Woodcraft with Judy Williams. 4", 2000 |
| This kaleidoscope is a turning/carving out of maple. I had to use power to carve it. 4" 1999 |
 |
 |
| This Red Oak Heart Footstool is a design I developed specifically for the Woodcraft store to introduce women to the use of woodshop power tools. 1999 |

| Pens are fun and easy to make using just a small lathe. I designed these boxwood pens to act as a canvas for my drawings, then woodburned them and, in the case of the Dragonfly Pen, painted them. The Lizard Pen is not painted, just shaded with the woodburner.1999 |
| Cutting Board/Serving Trays are a nice, easy project for beginning woodworkers. I taught many women how to make these boards and how to use 12 different power tools in the process in classes at the Austin Texas Woodcraft Store. This is the Kitty Cutting Board in walnut, figured maple and padauk. 2004 |

| This pine chest was a school fund-raising project. The children signed their names and I woodburned them and the school crest into the wood and then finished it. 2000 |
| A customer at the store had two Jaguar cars and he wanted me to make him a unique business card holder that incorporated a gold plated hood ornament. I carved a crag out of a piece of padauk wood and made a base out of ebony and then trimmed the card holder with padauk.2001 |
| This was a fun project that I did with my brother, Mike. We each made a working wooden lock using nine different, exotic woods. The hasp was carved out of birds-eye maple, the key is purple-heart, and the lock has zircote, yellowheart, redheart, cocobolo, and ask. How cool is that! |
 |
| This 10" peppermill is another collaborative effort with me and my brother Mike. We laminated maple and purpleheart and then turned it on a lathe. 2005 |

| Wood Turnings: items made with a lathe. |
| Odd and Ends of various woodworking projects: |
| These hairsticks were another fun project. On the left is a carved twist in native mesquite; on the right is a cocobolo hairstick in an antique pattern. 2000 |

| These tea light holders and votive candleholders were made from native cedar; scraps from local timberframing construction. The lacquer finish took a lot of work to get just right. The holes in the bottom holders let the light shine through as the candle burns down- nice. 2004 |
