Post a photo of the last thing you made

A couple of things I finished recently.
A table for my mother, to put her cup of coffee on next to her chair when she is watching.... dare I even say it... Emmerdale (oh the horror...).
The wood is Pau Rosa. This is probably the most beautiful timber I have ever worked with but, man oh man, it is a total pain! The central column is made from a single plank, cut in to eight strips with the correct bevel and then "folded" round to make appearance of a solid piece of wood. It is very very hard so you have to keep sharpening cutting tools. The upside to that is that you can sand it to mirror finish. I used tung oil to finish it but I'm not happy with the result (probably my lack of skill). I may re-sand it and just wax it.

I also made some toy dogs for my 2 year old great niece and nephew (twins). Mostly Linden wood; ya gotta use offcuts for something

Love the dogs!

Nice, you could drill out the "bullet holes" and rough up the edges a little to look like real bullet holes as a little extra

Great choices, I'm a diehard Scotch Bonnet fan, wonderful when home-grown, they add a huge amount of depth to whatever they're added to, not just heat.

Spent a couple of hours making a gift box for the wand I made yesterday, I included the meanings of each wood, taken from the world of Harry Potter.
