THE WOOD WHISPERER IS PROUDLY SPONSORED BY:
...inishing techniques, so hopefully it helped to hide some of the flaws. I appreciate all the information from you and the people who have shared their projects on The Wood Whisperer, as most of what you see was acquired knowledge from your website. Check out Phil’s website. He makes a few c...
Well, I have to admit folks, this was a VERY tough decision. As you know by now, so many projects were sent in that we (Nicole, Mom, and myself) had to start the selection process before even posting contestants to the site. Now I should disclose our selection “criteria”, if you want ...
Actually it was you that inspired me with your gadget station. I built two of these campaign boxes while following along. I know Greene and Greene came after campaign boxes were no longer used but what the hay, it seemed like a good idea at the time! The wood is some 4/4 oak that I picked up at ...
I don’t know about you guys, but for me, there’s nothing like a good (insert December holiday here) surprise. And if you want something woodworking-related, its very difficult for our friends and family to buy the things we need and want without ruining the surprise. So here is my littl...

Our live holiday extravaganza was a blast as usual. Of course, my new system for picking winners turned out to be a flop but we managed to get the job done. Little Mateo makes his first internet appearance and Nicole even takes a moment to say hi. Of course I can’t forget to mention all the a...
I’ve been spending the last few days contemplating some small and relatively simple projects for the holidays. One thing I knew I wanted to make this year was some kind of keepsake box. No hardware, no metal, but I want the box to still “lock” in some way. So here’s what ...
I just finished up a couple of lamps for this year’s Christmas gift exchange. I made these lamps out of a chunk of slightly spalted maple that I salvaged out of the local tree “junk yard”. The finished is 5 coats of wipe-on poly with light sanding between each coat (while still...
This is the video from our live holiday party! It was an incredibly fun evening and we’d like to thank all of our sponsors and the folks who attended. Happy holidays!!! ...
After the success of last year’s holiday party (Jax had too much eggnog!), we decided to organize another one. Only this time, its going to be bigger and better, with more prizes than Santa could fit into his bag!! The event will be held on Thursday, Dec. 9th at 8pm Eastern in our Live Chat...
This topic was inspired by a question from viewer Tony. He writes: “I am just starting out, as a recreational woodworker, are there any key projects / techniques that you would advise I master as a way of growing my skill set. I am planning to build my own cabinetmaker’s bench later th...
When I started the Wood Whisperer Guild, I actually had no idea how I was going to balance projects and content for both the free site and our paying members. But like most things in my life, I jumped in and decided I would sort out the details later. Looks like “designing on the fly”...
