The brief was to create a palette out of wood, which meant using the band saw, fret saw, drilling machine and electric sander, as well as handheld planes and sandpaper to smooth the edges. I decided to make two small palettes instead of one larger one so that they comfortably fit the length of my forearm. After creating the first palette (pictured on the left) I felt the shape was slightly uncomfortable, so for the second one, I inverted the groove on the right hand side so that it hugged the shape of my body.
