State Quarter Map for Dad's Christmas Gift

State Quarter map made for my father who is a coin collector. Each state has a place for a Philadelphia-minted quarter. The surround has places for the quarters from the Denver mint. Each state was individually cut using my scroll saw. The states and surround are made with maple. The frame and background is red oak. The glare is from the glass which holds the quarters in.

Trash Can

Trash can made using maple. I got a jointer and planer so this was my first project using rough cut lumber which I milled down to the required dimensions. The only metal on the whole trash can is the door pull and hinges, otherwise all mortise and tenon joinery. The drawer used for trash bag storage was hand dovetailed. The field of each side is made of 2"x1/4" slats floating in a groove on the rails and stiles. The trashcan sits inside to the left and above the drawer is room for a smaller trashcan which we use for recycling.
