Chet Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I am not a Star Trek fan but couldn't resist a reference to a very early episode of the TV show. (The Trouble with Tribbles) I took the opportunity to really clean out my scrap bin. Most of the pieces I used for these were to small to do bigger things like cutting boards. I ended up making 12 and they are mostly around 9 inches square but vary and they are just over 3/4 inches thick. I just finished them with one coat of Mineral Oil. They could be used as trivets or even cheese boards. I don't usually mass produce Christmas presents but that is what they may end up getting used for. But I have a nurse that lives a cross the street and given the efforts here recently that nurses and doctors and other caregivers have been putting in, I have been thinking about just taking them to her when the dust settles and telling her to share them with her co-workers as a meager form of thanks. 6 1 Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Great Job Chet! Giving to the nurse across the street is a great idea! My GF is a nurse and a lot of them are feeling under appreciated at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She works in NYC and the hospital changed her schedule to 12 Hour days, she gets home and basically self isolates until her next shift.
