My Son Came to Work

Today was a good day. First day of our Thanksgiving Break and it was nice. My son came in to town and he helped me mill the wood for the door and drawer fronts to the Spice Box. It took some time to figure out how I wanted to cut the board to get the best figure for the door panels. I think it is going to be nice. We planed them down and with each stroke of the plane the grain looked better.

Book Matched with practice door stiles and rails.

I felt a bit like Tom Sawyer with the planing. He wanted to help and well, I have plenty to plane so help he did.
