Finished a few stocking stuffers for my SCUBA diving children. Not enough shop time this year, but these came out nice.

My typical wood combination of Royal Poinciana and Black Palm. These are spalted Royal Poinciana that I got from wood128, on Pirate themed kits.

This year has been... 'different.' My wife and I are at my In-Laws more and more assisting them. This is fine and I am happy to do it, but about 50% of the month is away, and then getting the basic chores done on our house results in about 2-3 days here and there to play. So these are pretty basic segments, but if felt good to dust off the lathe.

Take care Steve.

Yup! They look nice. I had these from last year, so I'll work through my stock of kits.

Royal Poinciana and the Black Palm (coconut) are common in the Caribbean.
