    Little turnings for little girls

    This miniature kitchen has 17 little turnings and was fun to make. It is going to a local orphanage for the little girls for Christmas. Next is a miniature workbench for the little boys.

    Little kitchen

    Steve: When we deliver the peices we sure can take photos. The problem I was thinking about is that most of these kids have never seen a kitchen and might have to learn what it is. Most people here cook with charcoal on the dirt floor .

    Charles: The flat work is "Ari Pari" scientific name still unknown. The knobs and burners are purple heart, the cups etc. are made of Orange Queen Wood, Orange Agate and others.
