made a simple plynth, this is just to raise a metal filing cabinet above the floor/skirting, it technically doesn't matter how it looks but I used some nice knot free pine.

I was supposed to just make one but got carried away :lol: here are some coasters, I made 2 out of douglas fir, 2 ash, 2 beech, 1 maple, 1 walnut, 1 oak, it's just a lap joint in the centre, good practise, if there's any wind or twist the cup doesn't sit without rocking. They could also be a medieval christian cross as well so they repel evil just by using them under your cups, cheers.

Henri the rocking hippo. Complete with moving jaw and bird cleaning it's teeth with a toothbrush (upon the customers request - I still don't know why)

I'd be so tempted to sand out the marks but it would end up looking terrible. You have a great style and an eye for when to stop.
Great job as always.
Genuine question Doris.
Why do you never paint eyes on?

Thank you. I originally never put eyes on my carvings because I had done all this work on the form only to ruin it at the last second when I went and put wonky eyes on. So I decided not to and I find myself that you then look at the whole form rather than just the features. We humans are good at looking at (and judging) people by their features and I felt I wanted to challenge that.

The lady who commissioned me to make this for her granddaughter insisted on eyes but I refused. She then I later found out asked her other granddaughter to put eyes on using a permanent marker. Something which I'm rather miffed about but I was paid for it so have to disown it.

Drop me a PM if you want anymore jam btw [WINKING FACE]
I'd take you up on that but the kids polished it off so fast I didn't get any
anyway! Thanks though, the very little I tasted was lovely. =D>
 
Most recent interesting thing I’ve made, a mini workbench with a Roubo style split top. Adding some much needed storage/workspace while at the same time using up some off cuts that have been hanging around for years and testing out my new Xl domino!

My gran passed away nearly a month ago and I volunteered to make the casket/urn for her ashes. A lot of heart and soul went into this project. Maple, walnut and acid etched stainless steel plate. A lot of lessons learnt on this one, and also first time using my new photo tent thing

That's a beautiful box, Sawdust, but how sad you had to make it in these circumstances. My condolences to you
