Got my Mom back to her apartment from the hospital Monday. Had to run down to replace the sieve towers in her O2 generator yesterday, then mow the lawn and prune the lilac (they say to prune it right after all the blossoms dry up). So today was the first day in quite some time I had absolutely no other commitments. No rain in the forecast so rolled my tools out into the driveway and made some sawdust.

Exploded view of walnut box I've been working on. Today's task was sanding and applying the first coat of poly.

Also decided to take advantage of the table saw and miter saw already being out to rough out another box. This is made from some citrus Joe ( @wood128 ) sold me in July last year. This wood is hard but I think it's going to polish up really nice so maybe just an oil finish on this one. Have to run a test maybe. Have to figure out what to make for a lid too.

Love those rare days when a no commitment day comes along! Congrats on the progress!
