wow, awesome again..i do appreciate the talent it takes to be able to say ..im gonna make a war axe...and then produce the quality of that one? ...wow again...please continue to share your workmanship.....ive only had woodshop in the 6th grade but do love the craftsmanship...youre making it tough on me...ha....see? and I'm not jealous and hating
Interested in higher grade vintage cards. Aren't we all.
The pictures makes me proud to be working with wood. I enjoy seeing my craftsmanship being utilized and people enjoying it, it makes it worth while. I really like the picture that you did when you pinned out your box out of the bunch, that's pretty cool. Including seeing some of your personal collection being stored in the box. Thank you for posting the pictures I truly enjoyed seeing the box again being used. Your right about the pictures and actually seeing it up close, when you see it up close you can see the real definition of the wood including the grains.
LOL about the War Ax, it was a different project that I thought I would try out especially being here is Hawaii a lot of people like those type of things.
Stunning work, Mike! Your craftsmanship really brings out the natural grain and beauty in the wood.

So the USS Michael Murphy came to me a few weeks ago to ask me to build them a Coffee Cup holder for the Officer Mess. For such a well known Destroyer it was an honor. This is the idea that I came up with and made. It came out to be 40"-W and 43"-L, its just missing the pegs to put the cups on.

That curly Koa box is awesome. Love the Wenge splines. Please PM me on your finishing techniques for these. (conditioner, seal/top coat, Poly, etc). You have some sharp miters. Looking great.
I was recently given a free truckload of different exotic woods in different dimensions from woodworker that turns segmented bowls. Awesome figure in alot of the pieces and can't wait to put something together with them.
Thumbs up.

An AWESOME box. I love mine! Needed a display box for my desk (to keep cards I want to access more frequently in easier reach than my Card Vault cases which still house the bulk of my collection) and Mike's craftsmanship fit the bill.
It's a bit heavy fully loaded, but as a desktop display its PERFECT.
Thanks Mike. Sending a referral your way for one of these.
Im glad that you received it safe and sound. I didn't hear from you for a little while so I was worried something happened to it. Im sure its heavy loaded lol thats a lot of cards, how many were you able to fit in there? Im glad you like it and appreciate it.
Thank you very much 1980scollector always much appreciated
Guitarwes- Those miters are kind of a Bit**. Sometimes I have to redo a piece or two which gets frustrating lol. Ill pm you and we can talk wood lol.
Here is another project I just finished up. Can you imagine the cards being displayed on one of these . I made it for a fundraiser for the Submarine dolphin Scholarship.
Here are a pair of surfboards I just finished up. I was thinking of turning them into towel hangers or coat hangers or something. Made with Walnut, Curly Maple and Wenge. I really like the grain and the texture, makes it look old fashioned or more seasoned.
So I made a few more surfboards using different woods. So far out of all the surfboards which ones do you the board members like the best?? the fist picture is a board using Sepele Wood with Wenge and Maple. The second and the third one are curly maple with purple heart and wedge. Enjoy the pictures.
I turned the first picture into this, I thought it would look cool lol
Mike, you are truly gifted in your work. Remarkable pieces, as always. It's amazing what detail and beauty you bring out of wood.

Well almost wrapping up on another box, I just have some detail work to do with it but enough to have a couple pictures of it out now. This box is made with Walnut, Maple, and PurpleHeart. This box was a booger to make. Ill take a couple more pictures tomorrow in the sunlight.
The craftsmanship and attention to detail on these boxes is exceptional, Mike~well done!

The top was a bit** especially for what you said with it being mitered took awhile lol. the 3/4" hang on all four sides was a booger as well especially with the hinges. Hinges always have been the death of me, you get so frustrated with those darn things even though everyone thinks they are simple lol. I was going to inlay with a little purple hear to cover up the little area and give it a little different feature. But yes that box was a booger and took awhile
Been a little while since I done a project so here is a few that I just finished up, 7 8x10 Sapele blank Plaques and 2 Mahogany, Purple Heart, Maple Spear Head Plaques
The latest additions look stunning, Mike! You are truly a gifted woodworker!

Mike's latest masterpiece has found its way to its new home and I couldn't be any happier. Here are some pics of a few of my favorites in their new resting place.
Thank you very much for the pictures. I'm very impressed with your collection, and glad to see the box hard at work. Those pictures are awesome and I appreciate the show.
I just finished up the twins. The grains and the curls of these boxes are awesome, overall took me three weeks but they came out awesome. I named the boxes the Twins, overall they are the exactly the same, but completely different. Enjoy the pictures

Dang that is nice. The more I look at these, the more I want one. is there anyway that you can add something to these - something from keeping the cards from falling over since someone like me doesn't have enough cards to fill these things like other members. I have an idea but your the craftsman here.

I used a piece of Old Koa which I think gives it more of a rustic look when looking at it up close. Thanks Bud as always much appreciated.
