Finished

Well, I really like how these turned out. Not much to say, really. I cut out the pattern with a jigsaw, drilled the holes with an electric drill, and finished them with files, sandpaper, and my pocketknife. I oiled them with a beeswax- based oil, and declined to use a hard finish on them. If they look really bad in a year, I can sand 'em down and put a lacquer on them, but they're a really hard wood (oak) and I've heavily oiled them, so I expect them to hold up nicely.
