It's just paint grade birch with poplar front trim. Painted SW Dovetail semi gloss Urethane Enamel. Very temporary as they'll be living there ~6-12 months.

Wow I thought it was some kind of stone.

Thanks. You should try hand cut dovetails. Adds even more fun to woodworking.
I took a dovetail class a couple of years ago, but didn't try to hand cut dovetails until I made this tool cabinet. Now I'm hooked - probably going to do a lot of hand cut dovetails in the future.

Finally getting around to doing a larger dresser from rift sawn white oak. Hard to see, but the trim is beveled 10 degrees and shows lots of character with the 10 degree cut (think quarter sawn). I'm stepping up my game with the trim vs just edge banding...
On another note, I learned not to shoot a finishing nail under my own nail... Only 1/2"...

OMG that looks like it hurt.
I like that idea of a counter on top of washer/dryer. Great Idea.

This is the second one this week for a laundry room. Must be that season.
It did smart, but now I know the pain level for torture when I visit N Korea

Very nice gift. I like the split tenon handles. Is that rosewood?

Thanks - The hammer heads are merbau with ash handles. Walnut wedges.
Merbau is supposedly oily. So I wiped down pieces with acetone before glue up and before applying oil finish.
A friend saw me using a mallet and wants to have a few beers while discussing mallets. I figured we could get together with another friend to discuss - and it's best if we each have our own mallet.

That is a great opportunity to get with friends and be able to have spent time with and have the same interests.
All you make these beautiful projects look so easy, but I know they aren't.

Bathroom window stained glass
We remodeled our master bath and didn't want to go back to curtains. The room is in the corner, so there are windows on two walls. We installed shutters from shutters.com and resurrected an old hobby to make 4 stained glass panels. The room is much brighter (in the daylight) and we still have privacy.

Thanks! Mounted with thin rods from Lowe's, soldered "picture hanger" rings in the frame, and rail rod holders from amazon. What's nice is no wires show and you can just lift the glass panels out to clean them or the window.
