A Couple of Christmas Gifts

Been spending quite a bit of time with my friend (the cabinetmaker) - have recently finished a vanity, a peninsula for his sister's kitchen, a kitchen island (I'll post pictures later), some shelf units. I don't get paid for my time because I don't want payment for a couple of reasons: I do it because I enjoy it, I get to use his large shop, and when I'm doing things for family members, I get materials at cost - bonus.

But, thought it was time to make a couple of quickies: made a serving tray for my friend's wife, and I thought I'd make a small gift for my wife (who loves birds, especially cardinals). Both items were made with scraps lying around the shop (except the cardinal which I had to buy!!!)
