"This is the cedar porch swing that I made for my mother. It is aproximately 4' long. I purchased the plan through Cherry Tree. I did not stain it but I did put two coats of wipe on poly on it as it will be outside in a screen porch. It is made along the lines of Adirondack furniture."

"The pull toy pictured here is made out of maple and oak scraps that I had laying around the shop. Besides being fun to pull around it is educational. There are four shapes to put on the pegs. Those four shapes are pictured on the bottom of the pull toy so that they can match them up. I finished up the toy with several coats of poly again to protect it from scratches."

"I built this bird feeder for a friend of mine who feeds a lot of birds. It will be a birthday present for her. It is 8.5 " deep x 12.5 " wide x 14" " high. The roof is hinged on one side in order to fill it with bird seed. It is hinged with a piece of milk carton at the peak of the roof.  I painted pansies on the sides and bottom rest with vines on the roof and on the front along with hearts to go with the heart cut out on the front.  It is made to set on a post. It is made out of 3/4" pine."

"My daughter uses alot of paperplates as she is usually in a hurry and with three kids that seems to be always. I made her a paperplate holder that can either be hung on the wall or set on the counter. It is made out of pine, stained and covered with poly. "

"This is a rack to hold a full size horse saddle. It is made out of pine 1x3's and 2x2's. It is a very easy project to make as there was no plan to use. I then stained it and applied poly to give it a finish that will last even if horse sweat  comes in contact with it. "

"Here are a couple of pictures of the bi-plane that I made my grandson for his first birthday. The bi-plane is made out of pine.

It has 6" rubber wheels with a wooden dowel for an axle on the front. It also has a swivel wheel on the back so it can be turned. The seat can be adjusted for the size of the child. It is finished with Min-wax finishing stain and coated with three coats of poly. The propellar on the front turns freely by hand."

"This is a carousel made out of maple, walnut and aspen."

"The next is a pine hope chest I made for myself after making 3 others for my daughters."

"This is a potty chair that I made out of an altered chair pattern. It is made out of oak and finished with MINWAX Wood Finish. The color is Golden Pecan. I made this for my granddaughter Alexis' 2nd birthday.  I added the toilet paper holder for the finishing touch."

"This is a quilt rack that I made my mother. She is actually using it for an afgan rack instead. It is in the shape of a cactus as she likes things from the southwest. It is made out of pine. The cross slats have a dowel on each end to keep them from sliding back and forth.

I painted it also to look like a cactus along with little lines to look like the spines on a cactus."
