This simple Project was completed back in June, but was abandoned at the "Finish" line... I was upstairs shaving one morning and took a good look around the dingy old Bathroom... The room hasn't seen any treatment since the sixties! Changing direction completely, work was begun, and has continued, on that room... The work is progressing slowly! It's only cool enough to work in the bathroom a few hours in the mornings, the afternoons get too sweaty for this old man... And I'm not inclined to work every day (nor able)... Although it looks a complete mess (and is!) the room is actually nearing being paint-ready... Anyway, the abandoned Pen Caddy got finish applied earlier this week during a lull in the reno-work, and is now in use... I'm not sure of the materials other than the pen-holder section's sides, which are clearly White Oak... The parts were never measured and are only the results of the scraps used... It's unusual for me to walk away from something in the Shop, I generally like to 'clear the decks' to make way for whatever is next... But, in the event, it worked out well! It gave me something quick to accomplish while considering a couple of challenges from the renovation... Thanks for Your Time!
