"Harbour Island" Console Table
This past December, we took a trip to Harbour Island in the Bahamas. It was beautiful! Having come back with many wonderful souvenirs, we decided to make a new console table for an empty space in our basement that could display some of them. The staining and painting of the table is meant to give it a nice beachy, drift-woody, Bahamian look. Very fun to build!
Christmas 2017!
Backgammon!
I made four backgammon sets this year for family members. Though there are some variations among the different sets, most were made from walnut and cherry like this one that I made for my brother and his family. My wife had fun making the dice and checkers. I finally learned how to play while making the sets!

Candle Holders
I also made eight sets of candle holders as stocking stuffers based on the design here. The design is particularly fun since it's sort of a woodworking "puzzle" and I've always loved the contrast between walnut and maple.
Soap Trays
More stocking stuffers . . . and a great way to use leftover pieces! These were cut from what remained of the 4/4 slab of cherry I used in building my new Cherry Writing Desk.
