Treat Box

  Every pet loves treats but they come in odd shaped bags, boxes that just won't fit on a shelf, etc... So what do you do? Keep them in a handmade DSH Woodworks treat box!!!! The treat boxes are a great place to keep your pets treats and they look much better than those bags treats come in.









  Each handmade box has woodburned paw prints and a bone handle. By special order I can woodburn your pets name on the bone handle.

  Enjoy and stay tuned for whats next.

Rose box, wood and clay

It has been awhile since I have posted, I have been super busy in the woodshop getting ready for another imadeitmarket show(on top of still building kitchen cabinets for my Mom's kitchen)

  This is the latest piece I have made. This box is made of red oak and the inlay rose is made of clay. I first cut out the rose design on the scroll saw, next fill the cutout with clay and then bake it in the oven. After sanding and glue up the box gets three coats of clear poly witch makes the colors of the clay pop. The box is 9inches long, 7 inches high and 5 inches deep. It would make for a great memory box, photo box, card box, etc...

  I enjoy making the clay inlays even tho it does take ALOT of time. I feel it adds color to the pieces with out just painting on a design, I really don't like to paint wood, it hides the natural beauty of the wood itself.

  So here is.....The Rose Box







This box along with many many more pieces will be for sale at the imadeitmarket show at the South Side Works on April 16 from 12 to 7pm (more details in my next post)

Enjoy and stay tuned for whats next.

Work in progress....


This box is for a friend of ours who is turning 50. She is having a birthday party with the theme of Hawaii 5-0 Get it she is turning 50yrs old and everyone coming to the party must wear Hawaiin atire.

The box is red oak and I used the scroll saw to cut out the shapes. I am going to use clay for the inlays again. It should turn out to be very colorful against the red oak.










Enjoy and stay tuned to see how this piece turns out.

New piece....Humming bird

 


  Here is my latest piece. As you can see it is a humming bird. I made this piecs as a birthday gift for my Mom. I tried something new with this scroll saw piece, I filled in the coutouts with clay and then baked it in the oven. I learned how to do this from Steve Good(http://www.scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/). This was my first time trying this method and I think it came out very well. It opens up my mind for many more ideas using this method.

  I also made a video during the making of this piece which I will post later.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for what comes next.
