Yet another christmas project revealed

woodshop box

Carbon made this at a Beginner's Woodshop Class at a cool place in town called Whittle. The man who runs the shop is really good at giving low-key help and suggestions, and letting the kids do as much as they can all by themselves. The handle shape is a snail, that I helped Carbon sketch on his wood and then Carbon cut it out all by himself.

When we went in to paint it, Carbon asked for pink and purple paint. Immediately, I knew what he planned to do with it, as those are his sister's favorite colors. It's a real gift, something he made with her in mind, and loved giving.
