A while ago I built a footstool with an upholstered top. This time around it was pretty much the same design, except this time a hardwood top was requested. The lid is made of bookmatched walnut with a zebrawood feature stripe. The top opens on two brass hinges, with room inside for a few magazines or a pair of slippers.

A small elegant box, the sides are canarywood and the top is purpleheart. First time I've built anything with the canarywood, I was quite impressed, I must get more of this. The box is about 5"x7" and about 4" tall.

I made a couple of these just over a year ago, and then realized the other day I still had one clock mechanism left. It wasn't doing anyone any good sitting in a drawer, so I made the clock to go around it. This one is purpleheart with curly maple.

Here's one of the older ones I did. Pretty much identical except for the wood choice (wenge and curly maple):
