Made this chest type box for a friend for his birthday. Made from red oak with black hardware, this thing was a pain in the butt to build and put together, so many screws broke lol. But I think the screw extraction was covered up pretty well by the hardware.

I got a cheap mini wood lathe at harbor freight over the weekend, with their liquidation sale and an extra 40% off clearance sticker price with my membership this thing was a steal! Upgraded it with a few parts from Woodcraft and made my very first lathe project! It's a neat little wine bottle stopper made out of Zebrawood. I just need to add a nice finish to it and it will be finished. I'm really excited to learn wood turning, so if anyone has any tips, tricks or suggestions I would love to hear them

I received a beautiful piece of mahogany from a neighbor that I would like to turn into a small coffee table. I have most of my design plans figured out but I don't know what these corners are called. I feel like I used to see them on tables everywhere but can't find an online example. I even picked up this board from the thrift store just because the corners are similar to what I want to do. I would have mine go in a little further and rout the edges with a round over bit or something so the edges and corner wasn't so sharp. But I really want to know if there is a name for this particular type of corner so I can research and make sure I do it properly, and also to explain what I'm doing a little bit easier.

Decided to try something new on a basswood oval I got on clearance. Tree burned by hand. Colors are Minwax water based color series wood stain, no paint was used. I've done gradients with paint on canvas before but never tried it on wood or with wood stain. I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. I haven't seen anyone else using wood stain this way (neither had the guys at my local woodcraft store) so I was wondering if anyone else has tried something like this and what the results were.
