It’s been raining constantly here in northeastern Oklahoma for almost a month, so it’s been hard to get much work done on the container. I wish I could say I spent that time diligently working on my main hobby, woodworking, but I have to admit, most of my free time lately has been spent binge-watching the X Files. Oh well. (Incidentally, I blame the ridiculous rainy spell on aliens.)

I did find time to throw together a few little projects though that I gave as gifts for Mother’s Day and a graduation. Since I don’t have much new to report on the container, I hope you won’t mind I share them here.



Succulent planters made from scrap, finished in various ways. These were for my mom, grandma and my girlfriend’s mom.

Walnut business card holder/display finished with boiled linseed oil for my oldest sister, who graduated from high school this week and is starting to do freelance photography.

I hope to have more content related to the container project soon, so stay tuned! If you are interested in seeing more of this kind of thing, I post more on my instagram, @mmmtorbs.
