Puttering around in the shop

I had a super shitty trip home from Morocco and was stressed out & pissed off when I got up Saturday morning.

First Coffee.

I then decided that and working on some current projects, a couple of little things on the lathe, and making lots of sawdust and wood shavings would make it all better.

I am in the process of building an old-school 6-board chest (now 8-board as I added a skirt to front and rear…)  and had some white pine scrap sections left from the two sides and the bottom.  I glued them up before I left for Casablanca and when I got home I decided to turn a quick fruit dish for the kitchen/my wife.  It took all of about 20 minutes and is 10.5″ in diameter and 2″ tall.  I am pretty happy with the results.
