A long time in posting anything new. Well, I got a few things done. We are going to be going to Pigeon Forge this week and we are setting up a booth. Here are some new items for us. Buffalo Bullet Pencil holders:
This one is Dyed Blue Box Elder.
Cocobolo
Walnut
This is a Copper Silk...
Well, after having all boys in the house we finally have a little girl her name is Leah.
Josh is going to be the 'main' care taker of Leah. He is really excited.
Oh... Leah is a Labra-Doodle. I thought a good name would have been
Snicker... but he wanted to go Star Wars.
Elvis is back in the building. This is a commissioned piece for a die hard Elvis fan. It is a Jr Emperor with Alt Ivory blanks. I put the photo work together and sheet music (Can't Stop Falling In Love) together and Ken Nelson did my engraving. Along the bottom of the pen is an exact replica of...
This wood came from the wind storm a while back. It is a Bradford Pear that came down in a church family's yard. The lady really loved that tree so this is going to be a slight rememberance for her. I'm planning on giving it 'back' to her tomorrow night.
It is about 8" around at the rim and...
Okay, how about some shredded money. Here are two different styles of Wallstreet II pens with the shredded money blanks. The blanks where purchased out of Arizona Silhouette.
Yep, here is another one. Sorry about the redundancy of the bowls. I could tell that this one did not have as much 'movement' and 'color' as the other ones, so I decided to try to give it a little something to give it more vitality. What do you all think? Thanks.
Hey, just trying to come up with something new for a heading.
Here is 2 of 10 Euro's I've done. One is Dyed Blue Boxe Elder with a CSUSA Nickle plating. And the other is "some kind of wood" that is curly. I know its not Maple, I got it is a blank swap. I wanted to make the curl pop better...
Well no, she didn't turning anything on the lathe. Our dryer unexpectedly broke down (Motor) and it needs to be replaced. I told her to take my pens to work and she can take whatever she sells and put it towards a new dryer.
She sold only one (1) pen for $35.00. She also took a bunch of...
Well, trying to get the inventory up a bit for the big Christmas rush on pens. :santa: Hopefully I'll sell them, what I don't sell may go as some gifts to family and friends.
Here is yesterdays bit of work. I'm getting ready to head down to the shop and get some more done.
I had the pleasure of visiting with Tom Keen Thursday evening. Tom is a super nice guy and was very patient with this dyslexic who gets up/down mixed up at times. The plan was for me to learn how to turn a natural edge bowl on his larger lathe. And, to learn how to properly use a fingernail bowl...
Oh no! It's not turned.... It's.... (gulp) Flat work!
I was asked if I could made a couple beds for an American Doll. And I first thought, whoa, my wife wants a new bed..... and then I found out it is a special doll little girls play with. They just wanted the frame and they are going to...
I had seen this little chunk tossed away in a pile and thought I'd give a tea light a shot. I think next time I have something this eroded I'll boost it with thick CA.
