A continuation on the boards -

The boards are done. The long one is a bread board and that is a present for Mom since her birthday is coming up very shortly. She knows about it already. No need to keep it a secret. The surprise out.

Next is down to a set of 2 cheese boards. I already gave one away.

And  finally 2 cutting boards. I am unsure what to do with them right now. I will figure it out.

Boards

I really enjoy making the different boards. It is a fun hobby when I do it

After I have cut the strips of wood I glue them and clamp them tight. This is a bread board I will be giving to someone. You can see the clamps and thank goodness I cropped picture or you would see much more of my leg.

This one was a long board that I cut smaller and I consider these to be little cheese plate/trays. Put a big hunk of cheese or a cheese ball in the middle with a knife and a few crackers and dig in for a little social gathering.

This is what the bread board looks like after trimming and some sanding.

These are two cutting boards made at the same time.

I will have more pics after they are completed. I am also making some coasters, but I am not far enough along to decide if I think they are good yet or not.

More business card holders

I like making these little things. I did not put any tung oil on these. I also tried something different and decided I did not like it. I have been making them almost like a mirror then cutting middle so I have a nice hole for the thumb. I tried with the scroll saw and you can see it, the thumb hole,  is not quite right on one of them. Granted I have a cheap scroll saw and it is a bit older, I still have never been that happy with it. I should probably sell it cheap and get an better one.

But I won't do that. If I buy a new one then I can sell the old one.

The one that is not perfect, I am keeping until I give it away to a family member. I gave the other away already to the store manager. Hopefully he likes it.

Yet another shelf

Made this also. It did not take long to make. The nice thing about making this was I got a thickness planer at Christmas time along with a new mitre saw. I put both to work making it. 

First pic is after built and second is after staining. The white pine was already floating around and just needed to be cut, planed, sanded and assembled.
