a gift to my wife

I am not certain of my woodworking skills. But if there is anything I am certain of is of the deep love I feel for my wife. She lives to draw, and for this reason I decided to risk loosing a couple of my fingers in a wood shop trying to build these two pen holders for her office desk. She says she loves them; I hope you do as well.

Oh, Edgar. These are absolutely stunning. A man of many talents. Especially making me well up with tears every time I read your posts! Yes, you did it again (I can cry at the drop of a hat, though). What a beautiful gift.

Mi padre era ebanista (quizás hayas visto la mesa suya que tengo en casa en moly_X_12 hay unas fotos). Ya le gustaríaque yo hiciera en madera algo la mitad de bonito que esto!!
