Over the long weekend, I finished a neglected project that had been in my shop for too long. A mirror framed in cherry - with a little bit of carving on it. For some size reference, that is a pretty big blanket chest it is propped up against.

John's Birthday

Today is John's birthday (Jen's dad). So, here is photo of him from our last visit to Oregon. Mariana and him are all tuckered out.

Plant Stand for Mother's Day

Dad made it, but Mariana gave Mom a plant stand for Mother's Day. It is made of oak and it is in the Arts and Crafts style. It sort of matches the oak coffee table in our living room that Jen's dad made years ago.
