Bits and Blurbs

Hey folks. I have been a bit quiet lately, I have a couple small projects going along with other things keeping me from my shop.
You've probably all seen the piece by now, but I figured I'd mention the new Fine WoodWorking issue's readers gallery with their, turning up to be annual, highlight on the MN Woodworker's Guild show. Kind of neat.

Here's the "bigger" of the projects I've been working on. A small Medicine Cabinet to go with the bathroom that Eva had recently done some revitalizing in. The feature wood is Douglas Fir, the accent will be some bits of air-dried Maple I have left for the back panel and drawer boxes.
There is one or two more small projects I have simmering, I'll mention those at a later date.

Maybe two years ago I took a little trip down to Spencer Iowa to help mill a couple logs into lumber. I'm very happy to have received one of those logs pictured here! Walnut, and it's air dried! A little more than 8 feet long, the tree had a diameter of about 22", and cut into 9/4 planks.
I still have roughly 2/3 of another Walnut log from Iowa in addition to this log. Lovely lumber waiting for some great projects!

My Inventory Sale is still in effect!

That has to be a thrill to have a piece chosen for FWW. Way to go!

Congrats on the Fine Woodworking entry!
I am planning a medicine cabinet as well, what finish will you be using?
