Beginner, making my way and learning. It’s not as huge as the photo makes it look. 1st is pine. 2nd one is hardwood and stained darker.

      I can’t think of a better way to get into a hobby :-)

      I love the little finishing triangles too! I miss living near a Rockler.

      Thinking about your project led me back to the memory of the one before… very similar style, but it had a roll of “adding machine” paper that fed through two little strips of thin brass so you could write a note and leave it, or pull it through and tear it off.

        think i got those at the depot actually! lesson learned - pine was soft enough it left dimples in the back/bottom on its own weight on those things! :)

        cool idea about the notes!
