Tim Kennedy, Fredericktown, MO
Candle-powered carousel. The Holiday Carousel in issue #62 (Dec/Jan 2015) inspired Kennedy to build several variations, including this version with a live-edge maple base and red oak trees. When the candles are lit, the fan spins, along with the snowman and tilting tree.
Jere Cross, Altoona, PA
Classy curves. Cross has built several quilt racks, but the oval ring version featured in issue 63 (Feb/Mar 2015) has become his wife’s favorite gift. “The oval rings made it more difficult to build,” he says, “but it was worth the effort. Now many of our friends want one.”
John Braun, West Chester, OH
A peak for plants. Having completed the garden obelisk featured in issue #88 (April/May 2019), Braun is looking forward to having his project play host to climbing clematis and other greenery. “Using the full-size layout board as illustrated in the article was a real lifesaver,” he says.
Jay Dorrough, Seguin, TX
Crisply made corners. Waterfall edges distinguish this desk, which has a pecan top supported by black walnut legs, stretchers, and braces. Dorrough used loose tenons to assemble the mitered edges.
