Hello Readers!
These 22 blocks are what I made for my daughter as a Christmas gift. They are all 1.5x1.5 and are sanded down around the edges to round. They are poplar and are coated with a natural bees wax for a finish.

First Cutting boards
Hello Readers!
My first cutting boards! This cutting board is 3/4 inch maple. Its dimensions are 7.5'' x 11'' for the larger board and 6'' x 8'' for the cheese board. I used food safe mineral to treat the finished product and protect it. Enjoy!

Crochet box: Design
It was quite the job putting this altogether! I designed
this with many iterative sketches just so I could get it just right.
I started out with a blank canvas for this project, I really
didn’t know what I was going to build as a Christmas gift, but I knew
that my wife had started doing a lot of crochet work, and that she really didn’t
have a set place for all your supplies, plans and materials. So eventually I
sketched what you see to the left. If you look at the finished product and this
sketch you can see there had been quite a few changes made. I had initially
thought of putting nearly a dozen drawers on the outside of this box with a
spool rack inside of the box top behind a screen of some sort.
Christmas Gift: Crochet Box
Hello Readers!
I had a lot of fun building this project. This Christmas I put this box together for my wife as shee had recently got into crochet crafting. This box took a good few weeks as I had to work around her being at the house and me not having my own workshop, but I got the job done. Not pictured is the braided cord I used to make a stop chain (added after photos taken).
