Christmas Gifts I made 2015

Ok So I was pretty much unable to post any pictures of these things I have been working on since just about everyone these are intended for can most likely find these posts. Maybe not but did not want to take the chance that they may have been seen.

I had some issues with one of them where I made a goof up had to get more wood and then found out the pattern had printed smaller then had to get more wood. When I was finally finished the panels I had redone where a slightly different shade and so I had to stain it much darker then I wanted to. In fact I never stain I just use natural danish oil when I finish so I was a little upset but I had no time to try and find the same shade of wood.

Work was trying I ended up having to work an entire weekend on a network switch outage and I lost two crucial days and pretty much demanded two comp days of which I was able to get only one day off. But I was able to get everything done in time despite that. I was worried about the oil drying but it did.

So here is all the pieces with 6 pieces not here. I miss counted the slats for the glue up but I was able to cut more.



Now here is the stained one which came out alright. This is from Sheila Landry Designs just click the lick to go to the site to purchase the pattern or you can browse all the patterns they have. They are very talented artists.
