Some experimentation with bending wood in the microwave. Click the link to check out my process, on Lumberjocks.com.

Abstract Organizers
Finished product of a 5 month class utilizing 3-Dimensional abstraction as the primary inspiration for a product. This Mahogany and steel set includes a container for spoons, whisks, etc, a knife block, and my favorite, a banana hanger.
These forms where developed from initial abstract compositions, turned into a product, and finally realized in hand carved mahogany and left unfinished after a sanding up to fine grit.
Simple Boxes
Had a lot of fun making these quick gifts. Mahogany boxes made with rabetted side, leather covered plywood bottom. One lid is maple, the second is birch plywood. One went into a Kris Kringle, the other went to the sis.
