Bookcase tree and odds ends

After reading my post yesterday about bookshelves, Randy Cosgrove sent me over a picture of this really cool bookcase tree. He made it for his daughter Hilary to display specialty owl pillows she makes and sells. All of the branches come apart and store in the base (trunk?) so that it is portable and no tools are needed to put it together. To give it stability, two gallon-sized jugs of water fit in the base. Neat!
 And check out Hilarys web site. Really cute stuff.

A couple of items from viewers items that I have been behind on posting:Remember my little "10 cent maze puzzle " from last year? Josh Bucher took the time to make up a template that you might want to try out. It a bit more complex than mine, but looks like a good one!

As a gift for his brother, Marc Rouillard in France sent over pictures of his version of my guitar pick box. I love the way he sandwiched together beech and purpleheart creating a nice contrast. Absolutely beautiful work.

Finally, something from to Chris Demetrick that just may cause your head to explode:
