Finished the hair/scarf rings and pins today, rings are all from the red conifer wood, 2 pins are silver birch, 2 are hazel and 2 are from some scraps possibly from pallets. All sanded to 240 then waxed.

The boards are from primary school cloakroom benches I took out a few years ago, not sure they would have used mahogany for them
Great first box. Our own mistakes are always more glaring as we know where we made themSapele and Cherry box. First ever real project, First dovetails. I can glaringly see my mistakes but i am proud and want to do it again. Now!!
Nice pressie for a Burnley fanThis is a desk tidy box made as a leaving present. The Coloured panels are made from painted steel which is what person sold for 30 years. The painted steel is loosely bonded onto birch ply backing panels and is trapped all round by the rebate in the frame. The colours were chosen to represent Burnley FC which is his passion. Inside is maple veneer. Framing was some material I had lying around but think it is greenheart (which is horrible to work with. Dust and splinters
Top of the oak is stunningSWMBO was out for the day so once I had got my butt out of bed and had some lunch I headed out to the makerspace to see what could be created, first had a little tidy up then picked up a stick of Hazel and twig pot came to mind so I made 5 cute little ones from it, then I took an oak branch and made a bigger one, all sanded to 240 then given a coat of teak oil (Just because I've not used it in a while) I'm pretty happy with them, I've already listed the Oak one for sale but not sure if I'm gonna do the small ones separately or as a set of 5.
