Made these years ago trying to use up offcuts.

Just simple blocks with holes drilled. They actually come in handy and could be good gift ideas.

Neat! What wood and what finishing did you use?

[–] billionsandbillions@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

This is black walnut finished in a mix of tung oil and d-limonene(citrus oil). The D-Limonene evaporates and the tung oil polymerizes.

It's the finish I use for everything.

I like it. Thrifty.

I've got stage 4 packrat's disease, so I'll look at a block of wood like that and go "maybe I'll find a use for that" and now I can't move around my house.

Haha yeah I had to burn some off cuts a while back for the same reason. They were just accumulating in a cardboard box.

Looks like a pretty good way to use up some off cuts

Yep, literally take just a few minutes.
