A Picture Frame
This is an other simple project where you can be original. Even if you decide to buy some fancy wood to do it, it will still allow you to make a substantial saving compare with buying it already made. Begin with a small one to get familiar with the way to do it and then try doing larger ones.

A Firewood Storage Box
