Well, finished in the shop 3 1/2 out of 5 Xmas presents. We leave for Wisconsin in about a week, and there's no time left, so...we're done! It's the first projects I've posted so be kind...
The only one I didn't get finished was a standing mirror for my wife. She'll get it for her Birthday early next year.
First - a podium for a friend, school teacher. It's basically done. They are going to finish it, but I'm going to cut out a script 'T' out of walnut and glue it to the front. I think I would have made it bigger, but this is what she wanted.
2nd pic is a craddle for my little girl's doll...actually it's 'Tad' the talking Frog. But she loves the thing. She'll love it! She's only 2 and has seen me making it and wanting to play w/ it. It's out of pine so she can haul it around easily enough.
3rd is the 'good project'. Never did bent laminate before, but it turned out well. I'm quite happy w/ the results. It's pecan and black walnut. For mom...she'll love it. When it was finished, my wife officially put in her request for one
And the final pic/project is for 'me'...it's not finished...just didn't get the time to work on it. Yes, it's a cyclone. I've been working on in since July...July?? What's taking so long! Well, it's the project that always falls to the bottom of the list, and the 'top of the list' project is a little boy who was born in July...and he's been quite demanding He's the one in the corner. But I don't mind at all. It could take a year and I wouldn't care as long as I get to spend the time w/ Daniel.
Enjoy - and good luck on your Xmas projects. I look forward to seeing them.
