A selection of other things that came out of my workshop.
These are not for sale, but perhaps might inspire your own commission.
Other work
Light fixture in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright. One of a pair. These are half the size of the orginals and have a USB chargeable lamp.
Lounge chair. Alder and rope. One of a pair.
Outdoor dining table and benches. Everyone thinks the legs and frame are metal, but they are pine, with draw-bore motice and tenon joints, painted black. Also visible in the background is a planter/screen thing.
Small tool storage chest, with blind dovetails on the drawers and walnut handles. This now houses my chisels, rebate plane, grooving plane and spokeshave.
Drawers for a small pine tool chest. Regular dovetails on the back of the drawers, and blind dovetails on the front side. The handles are walnut.
Grooving plane. Produces a 6mm wide and 6mm deep groove 6mm away from the edge of a board. Good for cutting the grooves that drawer bottoms slot into. It uses a 6mm chisel as the cutting iron.
Grooving plane.
Work in progress on a saw handle. Walnut.
Saw handle, mounted on my gent's saw (a small dovetail saw). Please excuse the nasty carraige bolts. I could not get anything more appropriate.
A trug for storing and carrying gardening tools.
Replacement tote for my trusty Stanely No.4 handplane. This is laminated with a maple core and mahogany cheeks. It is a bit chunkier than the original plastic handle.
Replacement knob for my Stanley No.4 hand plane. This is laminated with a maple core, then a layer of mahogany, then a layer of birch. The grain of each layer is perpendicular.
Box for a bottle of wine or whisky.
Electric guitar. Made from scratch. The design is based on a Strandberg guitar. The body is mahogany with a maple top, and the neck is wenge. The fingerboard is ebony. The frets are fanned.
Electric guitar. Maple top, which is bent into a curve over a chambered mogany body. Pickups are Lace Deathbuckers.

Rebate plane, with adjustable width and depth fences. This cuts a rebate along the side of a board up to 10mm wide and 15mm deep. This uses a 10mm chisel blade as the cutting iron. Made from birch, reclaimed from the firewood pile, and walnut for the lower fence and wedge.
Rebate plane, showing adjustble fence for setting the width of the required rebate.
Small table, used on a terrace. Dog not included.
Outdoor coffee table. Very traditional construction - Draw-bore mortice and tenon joints on the legs/apron, and a top with a mitred edge. I also made the beer.
Japanese style cutting gauge. Marks a definitive line parallel to the edge of board. This works nicely for marking across the grain. For marking along the grain the pin type marking gauge works better, as it doesn't want to follow the grain.
Japanese style cutting gauge. The blade is single bevelled and reversible, so you can have the clean side of the cut on either side of the marked line.
Small chest of drawers. Pine, with walnut handles.
Small chest of drawers. Lots of dovetails. This is used to store small tools.
A kantele. The national instrument of Finland, my adopted country. The traditional way to make these is to carve them from a solid birch log (like a dug-out canoe). Mine is made from 4mm mahogany panels, laminated where necessary to make up the thickness.
Walnut "ponsi" on my kantele.
Sunglasses rack.
