An assortment of Christmas gifts!

[Doug W Swanson]

Here is an assortment of Christmas presents. Some are for family while others are for my wife's co-workers....

The salad fork sets are a first for me. Pretty simple to make and I like how they turned out. The left set is Tiete and the right is Cherry.

Three bottle openers: top is Zebrawood, middle is Olive, bottom is Bird's Eye Maple

Bottle stoppers (L-R): Curly Maple, Pink Ivory, African Blackwood and two cast resin (that I cast myself).

I've got a few more things to finish up this week, too!

Comments and critiques welcome!

A very nice assortment indeed! Your recipients are lucky. I did a spoon awhile back and had a lot of fun with it. Your forks look like a great idea. Why do I start thinking of Christmas ten days before it happens, with no shop time left? I like the maple and ivory stoppers best, but the blue cast resin is pretty cool, too.

Those are some nice gifts Doug! Great job on the salad forks, I have yet to try something like that.

Nice work on everything Doug! I am sure everyone will enjoy the gifts!
