Christmas is just around the corner. Knowing that a few members build gifts, I was wondering what some are planning or building at the moment for their family and friends.

I've made a small box for each of my grandsons and since I got a lathe earlier this year most people will be getting round stuff, like pens, bottle stoppers and bowls. I'm also going to make a book case for my son but that will probably be late as he hasn't given me the masurements of the area where it's to fit yet.

Supposed to be making some picture frames. Haven't started them yet and I doubt I will have time to do anything.David

Just built a floor standing pool cue rack (15 sticks) for my brother out of oak, I still have to apply a poly finish.
Turning a lot of candle holders for gifts too. I did the picture frames last year.John HunterComment

This is more "planning to build". We'll see...
Remember those 45 degree wine bottle holders? I would llike to personalize a few by making them into letters (last name initial) instead of just a slab of wood.
And for the bottled beer drinkers, I have been thinking of a six pack bottle (is it still carton if it is made from wood?) design to spiff up the gift of imports.

Russ, that six pack "carton" is a great idea. I have a BIL that is a beer devotee' and that would be perfect. There are a few places around here that sells imports and microbrews in singles. I would love to see pics when you are done.
