well, what's one more item in the works? got a start today on the new batch of candle holders. went diving into my scrap walnut and maple, and came up with enough for seven of them.

with the back frame for the bedside table in the clamps, got a bit more done with this. after making a pair of sleds for this, dadoed the maple and walnut parts. then did a test assembly of one of them, and drilled all of the holes for the brass ferrules. all that's left, is to give them a good sanding, final assembly, and a good coat of blo. i'll have to get the candles and such for them later on (i include them when i sell the holder).

almost there! sanded all of the parts, then glued up all of the crosses, and added the end parts. just a little bit of cleanup sanding, some blo, and we're done.
