Rachel had been talking about getting a proper easel so that she can do her drawings with a proper setup.
She looked up a handful of YouTube / TikTok woodworkers who each had their own slightly different version.
I took a few ideas and came up with a way to build the easel. So I took Rachel up to Woodcraft so that she could pick out the base wood. She went with Peruvian Walnut - an absolutely beautiful selection.
So I hand picked two different boards and got to work.
