anybody got any good Ideas for small projects for gifts?

Depends on how much effort you want to put forth for that person. For simple
gifts I'm partial to coasters with chip carved designs. Something I want to put
more time into might include house signs with relief carved designs. (I'm
working on one now that's got a macaw looking at a griffin because those are the
people's favorite animals.) Jewelry boxes/dresser boxes are always nice and the
bandsawn ones have been big hits.


I was thinking a box with a cheese knife set and a maple/cherry cutting
board lid, any Ieads? thoughs?
still wondering what the best way to do it, make the lid the cutting board,
make the cutting board removeable from the lid etc.

If it was me, I'd make the cutting board detachable, or perhaps put slots in the
cutting board like a knife block to store the knives.

OK, everyone, that just about cover it?

Sadly, no. It won't cover it. When people wake up tomorrow we're in for
another bout of angry people trading insults and high-level abstractions.
(Did any of these folks ever hear of S. I. Hawakawa? Stuart Chase? Levels
of abstraction?)

I will be _Sooooo_ glad when this election is over.


Good, let's get back to
important issues, like what to ask of Santa for Christmas.

Or what we are going to make people for Christmas. (I still owe my folks a
quilt rack from last year.)
