Cigar pens

Here's a new style pen I made called cigar pens.  They look a lot more professional than the cheaper slimline version I've been making.  These are for a few employees at work.

Sandpaper organizer

This is a much needed addition to my shop.  It's a mutt build in that I used a bunch of random types of wood.  It's part white oak, red oak, walnut, poplar, and maple.

Sofa table

I built this sofa table completely from 2x6 framing lumber.  I did my steel wool/vinegar mix on the top to 'age' it.  The bottom is black milk paint.  For some reason these pictures make the bottom look dark gray... it's not.

Phone stand

I thought this piece of maple looked pretty cool so decided I would make a phone stand out of it.  I wanted a glass smooth high gloss finish on this.  Started with poly but when polishing I just couldn't get it to shine.  I switched to lacquer and got the look I want.  The pictures don't do it justice but this is feels and looks like glass.  There's probably an hour of post-lacquer sanding and polishing on this little piece.
