Final day of class

Today was the final day of woman's woodworking 101 at the Carpenters Boat Shop in Pemaquid Maine. It was so much fun today. Here is a picture of the entire class with their finished Shaker candle stands and the Quaker foot stool. I finished my shaker box and it came out fitting really well. It looks good and I can't wait to put something special in it.
Here is the finished 3-step Shaker stool all oiled and ready to be stepped on. At the moment I don't want anyone to step on it and ruin the finish.

On the knitting front I cast on for the second Socks for Soldiers, black sock. I can only work on that in good light as the black is hard on the eyes. It's also sad because I have to go home to the real world of work tomorrow but this week has been fun, educational, and restful. I'd recommend a learning vacation to anyone. Challenge yourself.

Wow, so very nice. It looks like you all really had a good time. I am jealous you got to make a Shaker box. I have always wanted to do that.
