Putting the finishing touches on the Three Drawer Jewelry Chest (needs a better name). Come by Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia this Friday thru Sunday (Oct 12-14) to see it. I’ll be there as part of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen’s Annual Fall Craft Show. . . #woodwork #wood #woodworking #yosegi #yosegizaiku #jewelrybox #jewelrychest #handmade #yesiAMtheartist #PGCFineCraftFair #paguildmasterartisan #finewoodworking #madeinmaryland #geometric #geometricart #patterns #tiling #pretty #intricate #design #japanesestyle @pacrafts (at Montgomery County, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BouNB9NA1l0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d176bptag07m

First time tiling the new versions Borromean Rings patterns. Really get to see how the individual strips work together to make the larger pattern. One of my original pattern designs. Nice to have it as true Yosegi; each strip is planed off the master pattern block as 0.10mm thin shavings. . . #wood #woodwork #woodworking #yosegi #yosegizaiku #geometric #geometry #topology #geometricart #pattern #tiling #borromean #borromeanrings #yesiAMtheartist #PGCFineCraftFair #paguildmasterartisan (at Silver Spring, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn6SWLHgeoQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qgyjcjvs2r30

Most of the major woodworking done for this batch of Jewelry Boxes. These are always fun because I get to show off some fun woods, including QS Sycamore. Next step is applying Yosegi for the tops. . . #woodwork #woodworking #woodenbox #dovetail #dovetails #bloodwood #kiaat #sycamore #quartersawn #boxelder #jewelrybox #wip #yesiAMtheartist #PGCFineCraftFair #paguildmasterartisan (at Four Corners, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bno2rCnAXew/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c7evx6fc7ab7

When spending the weekend at a craft show, nice to have something to do. Got these three 21-step Japanese-style puzzle boxes almost finished. Brought along a selection of hand tools and doing the final tune. And wax. Two done, one to good. . . #woodwork #woodworking #puzzle #puzzlebox #woodenpuzzle #trick #trickbox #secrectbox #yosegi #yosegizaiku #borromeanrings #checkerboard #checkerboardpattern #weave #weavepattern #handmade #yesiAMtheartist #PGCFineCraftFair #paguildmasterartisan (at Rittenhouse Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4TsIVAVld/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xsos36zkvqjc

Applying the first coat of Epifanes varnish to the Apothecary Cabinet. Exciting to see the Ambrosia Maple and Walnut come to life. . . #wooodwork #woodworking #finish #finishing #varnish #epifanes #maple #ambrosiamaple #walnut #wip #howitsmade #process #apothecarycabinet #apothecary #chest #woodenchest #yesiAMtheartist #PGCFineCraftFair #paguildmasterartisan #handmade #handmadewood #handmadewoodwork (at Montgomery County, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BomK9mgASE7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13sdme60b41gh
