Muskoka chairs
I’ve recently made a couple of Muskoka chairs from these Double Muskoka Chair plans that I have adapted to my likings. The result was these two chairs:

Round box with roses
Another box with roses
I decided to make a jewelry box as a present for my wife this holiday. I milled every part on my Shapeoko 2: A lid with roses, a ring for the sides and a bottom part. The result looks like this:

Closed box
I reused the 3D roses from this box and from the cabinet door I made earlier. The box is made from pine and has a diameter of 150 millimeters.
As seen on the last photo I’ve milled the lid on both sides: the roses on the upper side and a groove on the underside that fits into the box when the lid is on:

Box for coffee capsules
Box for Nespresso® coffee capsules
Like so many others I enjoy drinking coffee and I’ve bought myself a Nespresso® machine. Having a variety of coffee capsules I needed a nice way of storing them and I decided to make a box for holding a selection of coffee capsules.
The box is made from beech wood using my ShapeOko 2 for milling the holes in the bottom holding the capsules in place. On top of that I decided to try to make a French Polish since I’ve never tried to make one.
The later decision turned out to be very time consuming and I had to restart the process a couple of times by sanding the box and try again. Here’s the result:

A new box decorated with roses
This post is just to show you my latest creation: a pine box with roses on the lid. The roses and the top is milled from a single piece of laminated wood using a 5 mm cutter for roughing, a 3 mm ball nose cutter for finishing and a 1 mm ball nose cutter for the fine details of the roses.
Furthermore, the sides of the box are milled from 10 mm thick laminated wood with box joints. The box is 250x150x60 mm and is made from pine. I’ve given it a clear coating on the outside.

A coin box
Making a coin box
A friend of mine loves board games and has bought a set of coins to use in the games. However, he wanted a box to keep the coins at hand when playing, so we designed a box for that purpose.
I used the same kind of mahogany as we used for the Dominion turntable we made for his Dominion card game. After milling and a lot of sanding I gave it a clear coating to bring the wood to life.
Here’s the result:
