🦉 Owl Jewelry Box, Sycamore Table, Epoxy Paper Tray


Obsessed Woodworking


Good morning. In today’s newsletter, there’s an owl-shaped bandsaw jewelry box with hidden drawers, a walnut paper tray with subtle epoxy highlights, and a live-edge sycamore table that keeps the design clean and natural. I also included a clever gaming tray project that’s modular, simple, and great for casual or competitive play.

As always, please respond with any feedback.
