Dr. Blanchard's Woodworking Gallery

Hi and thanks for looking at my woodworking gallery. In 1999 I decided to tackle the onerous job of cleaning out our garage and getting everything more organized.  That process led to an orderly garage and quite a bit of room.   In fact, so much room that I purchased an inexpensive table saw.  I had always thought that woodworking would be enjoyable and fulfilling and had been watching "Norm" (of New Yankee Workshop fame) for quite some time.  I quickly began acquiring more and more tools and upgraded many of them along the way.  As you may have guessed, it quickly became a passion.

I enjoy making small items - boxes mostly.  This type of woodworking allows for highly detailed work, artistic expression and the opportunity to work with many exotic and beautiful species of wood, including maple, cherry, jatoba, ebony, bubinga, koa, walnut, lacewood, purpleheart, mahogany, and others as well.

I hope you will enjoy perusing some of my creations.  If you would like to comment on what you see here, I'd love to hear from you.
