Gonna make some more shit out of wood.

    There are other ways to get fiber!

    But serious- awesome! I'd love to improve my woodworking skills too. What have you made so far?

    Oh man, I've made dozens of things at this point. Every gift I gave at Christmas this year was at least partially made by me. A couple of nice boxes, a bird feeder, a book shelf, some book stands, and a serving tray. In the last year I've made a coffee serving station, a handful of different record displays, key hooks, towel hangars, various tables and shelves, a solo stove ring that has managed to not light on fire yet, a few different bird houses and feeders, and a bunch of other stuff I can't think of rn.

    It's really the best hobby, I love being surrounded by durable things that I built myself. Getting my daily dose of fiber via one deep breath after forgetting to turn on my dust collector is just a perk.

    What all have you made?

    That's amazing, I want to get to the point where that's how my gift giving is, wood-based or otherwise.

    I made some garden beds, a knife handle, and a bowl (at a lathe class).

    Well, it'll really depend on my friends and family lol. About 25% of my projects are for me, and the other 75% are things that other people ask for or receive as gifts. I've got a couple of people wanting cutting boards, a cat scratching board that goes over the arm of a couch (not sure it's a wise choice, but it's what they want), a lamp, some sound diffusion wall panels, a yarn rack, and I'm thinking about trying my hand at instrument making.
