Obsessed Woodworking

Good morning. In today’s newsletter, I’ve included a few standout builds. There’s a sleek waterfall edge desk that uses continuous grain for a dramatic look, a modern bent lamination tissue box for a refined woodworking challenge, and a simple wooden picture frame project that’s great for sharpening your miters. I also included a scrap wood pizza peel build—practical, good-looking, and a fun way to use up offcuts.

As always, please respond with any feedback.
