Wood samples

A local company that sells hardwood flooring dropped off a bunch of small samples in the neighborhood some time ago, I got my neighbors to give them to me, well My next door neighbor found another one and dropped it in my mailbox today, so I decided to do something with it and give it back...

It`s a small block of oak or something.

I`ve done this pattern already but thought I`d do it again for a gift.
Had a problem burning the top, turns out I thought I`d sanded off all the finish but I didn`t even dent it, so thought I`d throw it thru the planer a few times, wrong.
So luckily I had another piece the same. this one I ran thru the band saw instead and sanded, much better.
This is it done just before clearing. Took me about 2 hours, and many silly restarts.
Turned out not bad, and I remembered to wear my mask cuzz this wood makes me ill.

Also done the kitchen witch, I`ll get a pic when it`s dry and post.
