Being a father to a 18 month old and a husband to wonderful wife, shop time is very limited. BUT here are my most resent projects.
One is a picture from for the LOML. It is maple and designed to match the bedroom set we have. It was made from half lap jointery, which without a good router setup, was not as easy as I thought. The picture is of hills in the Santa Barbara, CA area from a local artist. Next time I would have made it more rectangular to better complement the lines of the mirror it matches but hey, its done!!
The second pic is of some sanding blocks I made for a birthday gift to my best woodworking friend. He got me into this saw dust making hobby, so I thought I'd practice my hand skills (Planeing) and make him these sanding blocks. The design is from the "101 Best Projects" mag by WOOD. It was fun. I just wish I had found better wing nuts (Brass?) Maple and Walnut with just a durable clear coat.
