chritmas gifts

It’s Madrone Burl veneer from the Pacific Northwest. I like to use it along with cherry because it looks like some cherry burl. It doesn’t age like cherry does but it has a great design.

I made a wooden book cover for my daughter-in-law who was going to medical school, because the grain looks a lot like blood vessels going through your body.

Great looking gifts. before I looked at your right-up I said to myself Nice looking pet feeding dishes.

But, you picked a more creative and useful use. Too good for the pets.

Thank you Karson, I guess your right, in the pics they do look like pet dish holders except that they would be for small pets. They are 12” long 2.5” tall and 3.5” wide. the holes are sized to what ever the candel cup size is. Since would look nice as pet dish holders I think ill make them a bit larger (for full size pets).

Hi Bryan;

Nice job. I guess as pet dishes, it would be food, water, and condiments. LOL

Good idea Lee! My dog loves ketchup on everything!

Bryano, these are nice. You’ve incorporated some nice contrasting woods into a good project. What kind of finish did you use?

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

My wife just started getting into candles (God save us all) , these look great!

Dadoo, the finish is just a shelac based sanding sealer ,220 grit, sealer,302 grit, up to 600grit. Thanks to all for the nice coments.
