    Santa's been busy...

    Hello all,
    Santa's been busy making gifts for the family. This year I went with plant stands or whatever stands. 14" square tops 27" tall. Two cherry and two oak. Finish is Shellac and wipe on Poly. The Easel is the plan out of wood magizine for niece and nephew. Just wipe on Poly there. They can draw on paper or use a Chalk board. You can also use dry erase markers on one side.
    Also not shown are two tougue drums, (Thanks to Ken Salsbury) and a cherry keepsake box for my niece.
    Thanks for looking,
    Jim Knauss

    I particulary like the plant stands - are they from a commercial plan or your own design?

    Jim, those are great looking.

    I really like the plant stands. The easel is a fantastic idea also.

    There will be some happy recipients come Christmas.

    Thanks for the kind comments folks. Mitchell, I copied a little stand my wife has but changed a few things. The original has turned legs for instance.
    Thanks again,

    Santa really does have a workshop...and it's in New York?

    Very nice work Jim. It looks like Christmas morning will be a big hit in your family.
