Christmas 2014 in the books

[dehrlich]

All projects for customers done, few personal projects still in the finish room. Here are a few of the items I made for customers this Christmas..

Personalized coin banks. The monkey was a special request, think I may keep him in the lineup.
Coin banks for twins. Orange cow? Oh well, whatever the customer wants.
Sports related stuff seemed to be popular this year.

Cribbage board with KSU one side, eagle on the other. Used 1" thick oak, drilled holes 3/8" deep although they probably would not have lined up.

To be continued...

Large ranch sign. Custom basically gave me a day to design and make this. 3 ft long, free form edge with rope. Used a nice speckled pine board I found at Lowes.
Soccer ball
Local high school.... thanks for those who helped with this logo.

One more group I think..

Group of keepsake boxes for a family of 5 kids. All the same except for favorite colors inside. 8x10x4, solid red oak


My most complicated project this year, this took some engineering. All solid oak, used most of a curly red oak board 11" wide and 8 ft long. Drawer fronts are a naturally dark curly quartersawn oak.



Nice ribbon with name on fixed lid, thanks to BJB for help with this.
Side opens for necklace storage.

That's the main ones. Lots of other small projects, several clocks, key hangers, licensed college name signs and so on. Been a busy season, glad it's over. Hope all of you have had similar success. Merry Christmas and God Bless everyone!

All your projects are great. You did exceptional well on the jewelry box. Always enjoy seeing what comes out of your shop.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Now time to shut down, sweep up the 2 feet of accumulated wood chips on the floor, maintain machines and make some other repairs to get ready for next year. Will give me a chance to try and solve the problems with my CS machine and get my old A machine back in service.
