A 3D carving of Christ praying in the garden of Gethsemane I made on Easter Sunday.
When I did the test carve I used a piece of pine board and didn't think about the fact that I'd need to slow it down for cutting on Chestnut, so right at the end as it was cutting the perimeter it lost steps and cut into the design. I was able to stop it in time such that I could fix the problem.
I'm currently taking a couple weeks off of work after our son was born, but wanted to continue making a sign this week. So I decided that my son's room needs a sign for him.
I'm really pleased with how this came out. Mixing the yellow with some titanium white made it much easier to spread with a single coat than simply using yellow.

I managed to get my wife's Christmas gift done just under the wire.
This is memorial box for our dog Susie that we lost to cancer a couple months ago. After Susie died my wife started writing memories about Susie in a journal and I made the box large enough that the journal and Susie's ashes can all fit inside.
The box was made from the remains of a ramp I built for Susie to get on and off the bed after she lost a leg in August of 2021. The limitation of the available material definitely forced me to be more cautious as I worked, because there was no option to do it again.
The only thing that needs to be changed is the chain to a brass one once I can find one.
At some point I'll make a post detailing the interior of the lid. I was pretty happy I managed to get the dimmer controller and wiring totally hidden inside the frame of the lid. I basically had exactly as much room to make that all work as I needed, if I had made anything much smaller or the lid thinner I would have had to find other solutions.
I cannot make a video of the project being created, unfortunately. This project was 100% cursed in regards to filming the creation process. Every time I tried to record something for this it went wrong.
