Post a photo of the last thing you made

Not a wooden thing but I couldn't find my favourite old Japanese marking knife so I made one instead of tidying the workshop. Used a worn out flat Stihl chainsaw file. Probably took me 45mins but in all honestly I prefer it to the lost one. It's a nice size, takes a great edge and the texture makes it perfect to hold.

Great idea , I will do the same, thanks.

Hi. If anyone saw my post last week you'll remember I got given a couple of shelves of an old mangle. Most people thought it might be teak.
It was my 1st time using a planer / thicknesser and getting the wood down to the dimensions I wanted. I've been working with construction and pallet wood up to now so I hope I've done the wood justice.
It was also my 1st time doing a glue up for an edge grain board. It's only small but looks ok. I've gifted that to my friend who's late father owned the mangle.
The box I made today, it's the 3rd box I've made. 1st with my own plans. It's for the wife's wax melts .
I used a piece of spalted beach for the lid.
It's not perfect. And looks like it's missing something, I was tempted to put miter slots on the corners but decided to quit while I was ahead.
I've got one piece of the teak left, I think I might use it to make some coasters.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks
