Here are a few things that I've made recently:
First is a pen and pencil set. They are 24k gold Polaris kits with Desert Ironwood. Both blanks were cut from the same piece of wood. They are finished with CA and micromeshed to 12000. I really love how Desert Ironwood looks when finished. I need to get some more!

Second is a bottle opener. The handle is African Blackwood and it's finished with General Woodturner's finish and buffed.
225651
Third is a door stopper. This is Oak, stained and finished to match our trim. I made this because the one mounted to the baseboard kept getting knocked off. It's mounted to the wall with a screw hidden behind the felt so it's easily removable when I have to paint again.

Last is the board. A Walnut and Maple cutting board to be exact. It's finished with a few coats of Mahoney's Walnut Oil. It's double sided so you can use one side and display the other.

The pen/pencil set, bottle opener (along with an assortment of quality brewski's) and the cutting board will all be donated to my kids' school for their PTA silent auction. I hope they bring some good money for the school!
