Rolling pins

These were built for Christmas gifts. They are made from cherry and maple woods glued together. They were cut at a desired angle for effect and made round on a lathe. The handles are maple. The finish is food safe salad bowl finish.

Nativity scene

I built this set a number of years ago for our church. It is used at various places of the sanctuary at Christmas time. They are cut out from 1/2" plywood and painted. The staff are from sticks in the bush.

Stool

This stool is modeled after an old fashioned one that used to be more common in by gone kitchens. It is handy for shorter people to reach the high shelves in the kitchen. It can also be used as three tier shelves to display various things. It is built with Baltic birch and the dowels are from local burr oak.
