What have you given as a wedding gift?

[AlexSwansboro]

So my friend just got engaged. I'd like to make him something as a wedding gift. What have you made for wedding gifts?

If you are into turning.

I made a pair of pens out of green died maple blanks in a nice engraved wooden box for my daughter and soninlaw to use at the sign in registry at their wedding.

whatever you do, don't ask them what kind of color they want it unless you want to learn dying techniques.....

clocks do well.

Well, since we haven't said it had to be woodworking specifically...

For my sister's wedding I made all the candles and prepared all their music (arranged per their request, sound levels normalized, then pre-faded and burned to CDs for them to play unattended). After their wedding I digitized all their photos (2002 was largely pre-digital photo wise), then printed all the copies for them to share with family.

For my daughter, I made the cake and scroll sawed a plaque with their names, the date and some wedding bells etc. When they divorced, we burned the plaque, so it served double duty! :gar-Bi

Do you know much about their tastes, likes, and dislikes in wood products or other decorative items? That may provide some insight about what they would use.

A cherry wine cabinet for my niece. And set up a web site with the pictures I took at their wedding reception.

For my niece, I made a felt lined two-compartment walnut box to hold the champagne glasses they toasted with at the wedding. Little brass plaque on top with names and wedding date.

For my best friend's youngest brother, a pig pickin. Of course that meant I had to build a pig cooker first.
