And he is ready for a party
My son and I made a lateral file for my daughter and husband.
I got lucky on the lumber purchase. many wide and curly boards
I made the rest my self
Cherry snake Bandsaw box
a Sassy walnut and cherry
3 yes 3 duck boxes, 3 because I made the mistake in showing the first two to my wife
I did get better by the third one
Also 12 Soma cubes and boxes
The pattern I came up with( walnut touching corners ) is a real bear to put back together
only one way to do it
2 pepper mills
and finally 3 dear antler pens
my son also made 2 segmented nut bowls . a display case /coat rack, and 4 pens
it's party time
Merry Christmas yall

Wow, santa starts early in your neck of the woods! Everything looks fantastic, the figure on those drawer fronts is amazing! I've been meaning to do a band saw box for a long time, yours are inspiring.
About the ducks, did you use a plan? Or basic design model? My mother-in-law has a thing for wooden ducks, I'd love to do one for her birthday.
Thanks

You have been busy Santa. The wood in the file cabinet is fantastic, and I really like the wood in the snake box as well as the 3rd duck. The are all nice, but you can see the progression to the 3rd one. Great work. Now, take a break and have some holiday cheer!

If it can't kill you it probably ain't no good. Better living through chemicals.

Great output! Really like the ducks and the way the wood grain mimics the way feathers sweep down the duck's back. Very
Merry Christmas!

nope no plan. I got pictures from the Internet and went at it,
that s why the 3rd one is best. I think the best would be to have a model
