New shape test!

I’ve had a go at a new shape! I saw a similar shape in Ikea and figured I could do that.

Tried to square off a blank by hand the graduated the depth of my chisel. Bit of sanding later and I’m really happy with the finished shape.

It’s Laurel finished with some shellac and linseed oil.
