I’ve been teaching my 8 year old grandson, Jason, woodworking in recent months and he made this heart pendant and cutting board for his mother for Christmas. He learned how to use a scroll saw, hand and power plane, glued and clamped the pieces together, and sanded his little heart out.

Looks like Jason has an eye for beauty !!
Great job on both pieces and how lucky you both are to be working together : )

What a beautiful job! A lot of promise in someone so young and lucky to have a Grandpa to teach him the ropes.

A great gift… Both the actual items made, and the time you two spent together.
I’m guessing mom cried when she opened them?

Its great to see you passing on the woodworking skills to a younger generation.
This kind of stuff isn’t taught in many schools any more, and I think its a great service
for us to pass on to our youngsters the craft of woodworking.

Grade A for Jason. Those type of gifts will always be treasured and passed down in years to come. Good to spend time with Jason as H will remember those times for the rest of his life. Guess what he will want for birthdays, Christmas, etc.
