We have had the crystal Nativity set for years. I decided to design a fretwork lightbox for it as an early Christmas present for my wife.

She is speechless. Win Win!!!

Win, Win? Wonder if that will work on my wife?

It's the holiday season, so it's all good. But trust that in 20 years she will remind you of it.

My 28 year old granddaughter LOVES Harry Potter. We have read all the books, seen all the movies, even went to the bookstore openings for the newest book! Last week, she asked if I make wizard wands. Of course I do. I’ll see her tomorrow.

The wood is pecan and walnut.

Found this image on Google a few years ago - Tried to find it again but didn't see it - I don't have it in my files on this computer
I will check my back up files and see if I can find it, in the meantime check your messages - Thanks Ray

Well this is a add on gift..

It is more of name tag / gift.  I wanted to play with a compound cut.  I have not tried this because of lettering.   So this name tag shows 2 cellos on one side and grand niece's name on other side.   She plays a cello but is getting a higher tech electric cello for a gift.  Electric cello is better for college students.  

I used myrtle wood but thought it needed a slight stain.  I used a slight orange dye over the stained letters and cello only. The rest had no  orange dye.

Font is "Playbill".  My theme was going toward a western look.

My son and grandson are restoring an old Chevy pickup completely off the frame, everything new except the body (which has work on it too).  I took a picture of the truck before it was taken apart and Photoshoped it into a pattern.  The truck is in 1/4" maple resawn from a tree I cut down behind the house a few years ago. The frame is left over white oak from when we put in our wood floors.  I dyed the frame black for the truck to stand out.  This was my gift to my Grandson for Christmas.
