Nicely made wood gears are are really nice. While they aren’t going to hold up against serious use like metal would, they are a great way to show off your woodworking ability. Wood gears could also be a way to make an adjustable height desk that moves easily and quietly without motors or power.

Box Corner Joinery

Really interesting and nicely done box corner joinery done with contrasting visible dowel joints. Would be great for drawers or cabinets too. What would you call the X joint in the top?

Maybe it’s just me, but I think this would make an amazing dining table or coffee table in a modern cabin. Woodworking by hand is great, but this would probably only make sense to make with a CNC machine.

Acorn Birdhouse

Just a cute little turned wood bird house. While this looks like a christmas tree ornament, making it large enough to fit cardinals or other brighter feathered birds would be ideal. Probably also needs a more significant attachment method to keep the birds from getting seasick from swaying in the wind.
