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.

just shaded with the

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.

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.

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.

The 6 Butterfly Box was started in a class with Sue Willianson, at the
Spring 2000 meeting of the TWG in Fredricksburg. Where is the
sixth butterfly? Inside the cover! 8" x 6" x 2.5"
The box was manufactured, but I made some major modifications to it
by lining the edges of the sides with padauk, making a hidden magnetic
closure, and adding a padauk accent to the front.

This woodburned box was started in a class with
Shirley Bandor, again at one of the TWG classes.
There is slight coloring on the poppies and leaves.

This Prayer Card Box was designed for an
elderly lady to carry her prayer cards in her
purse to have at church. Tiny hinges and a
magnetic latching mechanism complement the
exotic hardwoods used in it's construction.
