Woodworking for Christmas

[random]

Made presents for the family this year:

Tarot card box (I know not your thing for many here)

A chest:

Belt rack (My son trains in Kyokushin karate)

My gift this year was the reactions I got when they opened these

 

[ECNC]

Very nice. I like the chest with the inlay work

 

[REELDOC]

No can see pics

 

[HMP]

Pics arent working on my end.

I tried to do some wood working for a gift and I couldnt. I tried to use tools improperly and, guess what, didnt have the desired effect/result.
Dangit.

 

[Schattenreiter]

No pics here either.

Trying again a different way

Chest


Belt rack

Just carved, not inlay. I was super-careful when applying the stain to get the line

 

[Schattenreiter]

Nice work. I'm jealous.

 

[REELDOC]

Great looking stuff. Now you need to try some veneer work.

 

[REELDOC]

Great work. You'd be good at veneer work with your attention to detail.

Looks good. Nice work.

Very nice!

I think you should keep up with the carving. You seem to have a knack.

Thank you, all.

It's all about trying new things, experimenting with different techniques, finishes, etc. - that's where a lot of the fun is. The chest, for example, is the first time I've ever tried dovetail joints, too. Been watching Roy Underhill do them for several years now, finally decided to try it myself.

I hope you bleed less than Roy Underhill!

Now I see it! That is some great work!

I think there is some law of nature regarding woodworking and blood.

TRUTH! Great job on the gifts. Those count more, as they are purchased with blood, sweat, and tears.
