Gifts

This has been a relatively long-term project, but it’s base is interesting. I have to admit it, I got lucky. My girlfriend found someone who was giving away some white oak stairs and balusters; they had been in storage for a while, and they’re dry, so I thought I’d make something like a table and maybe prepare it for some future projects.

Over the weekend, I thought I’d make a little something for my girlfriend. While at it, I thought I’d try to make some tenon and mortises — or whatever this turned out to be.

My girlfriend has started doing some water color painting and has been doing it on the kitchen table. I don’t mind, I just think she’d be more comfortable working at an angle, so I thought I’d make something comfortable and portable to work with.
