Important Date Blocks!

Hi Everyone,

The days are drawing nearer to the birth of our daughter and my wife and I are very excited! She found a photo of important date blocks and asked me to make some up.

I had a bunch of 2x6 spruce scraps laying around the shop so I put them to good use rather than committing them to the firewood pile.

I made a mitred box shape for each cube and then cut plugs to fill and cover the ends of each. This is a good practice for building you mitre skills and taping the joints is a real bonus to getting even pressure on the joints while the glue dries.

I'll sand them today and get all of the plugged sides even before I start to plan out lettering and number layout.

Thanks for checking out my work! Much more to come in 2015!!!
