The shop is in full swing. Â

My family (on my wife's side) has a tradition that we do a gift exchange among the sibling's families.

My wife and I decided that it would be fun to make something out of what we had laying around. Â One thing that we have is a nice load of firewood that we bought last year and that has been stored (well, also used for fueling the wood stove) in our carport. Â What does this mean? Â Good chunks of well-dried oak that we have just laying around.

We made an advent calendar for my wife's older brother's family. Â The design is five trays with five bays each. Â For each bay, there's a square cup to put a little treat in. Â My wife stenciled the numbers and some other decorations on the trays. Â I went over the parts with a coule of coats of boiled linseed oil to seal it up.

For what used to be a stack of firewood, we're really happy with how it turned out.
