Christmas Centerpiece and much more!

I have been busy this month making some Christmas gifts and planter boxes in the garage.  I

also got a new tool and it has taken me a while to figure it all out.  Here are some pictures:

 

 

 

 This is a pretty Christmas Centerpiece I made.  The bottles are IBC soda bottles.

 My inspiration was from a blog called Shanty 2 Chic.

This is a planter I made for my front porch out of cedar wood.
I wanted it to match my front door so I stained it with Minwax Mahogony 605 Gel Stain
and then sprayed on a few coats of Rust-oleum ultimate spar varnish.

I made two planters to go on either side of my garage door.
They are made from cedar and I am going to let them age naturally
so I didn't coat them with anything.

 

 

 

My parents gave me a router as a gift earlier this month and

then my brother and sister surprised me with a router table.

I have been busy this weekend setting everything up and figuring out how it works!

I did manage to use it today on a few scraps of wood.

Now I am excited to actually make something!

 

 

 

Well that's what I have been up too!
I am looking forward to some big builds after the holidays!

Thanks for stopping by.
