Before we kick this off, I was enmoderated on this community a few months ago, and I haven't had to do a single bit of moderation in that time. Not a single user banned, not a single comment deleted. This community has been absolutely excellent to each other, and I sincerely thank each and every one of you for that.

Without further ado, let's have one of our community sidebar picture contests!

It's the holiday season, and I'm sure a few of us woodworkers have hand built some wooden gifts for our friends and loved ones. To enter the contest, please leave a comment on this post with a picture or two of your gift project along with a brief description. The project with the most community upvotes wins.

The prize will be your project displayed on the community sidebar until the next contest (where the New Yankee Workshop sign is at time of writing) and the choice of topic for the next season's contest.

Votes will be tallied on the evening of Dec 24.

Let's see the wonderful stuff y'all made!

Quite nice! Cutting boards are classic gifts. How'd you do that garlic print? Laser?

Yes, I engraved it with a CO2-Laser, I always hate when I cut oranges that taste like onions so I marked one side

There is a tool I miss, a CO2 laser.
