Father and son bonding

My daughter and her husband came over and spent the night and I got to spemd some great time with my son in law. i have only had one of those for a little over 2 months now. We spent some quality bonding time in my favorite place, my basement. Bonds are solidified even stonger when sawdust and wood glue are involved.

This week end we decided on a simple project that I saw on http://www.etsy.com/. This is an earring and jewelry holder. We made 2 of them, Adam made one for his wife and I made one for my youngest daughter. They are both made out of cherry. This was not a real difficult project but it was fun and useful. The top picture has a set of earrings made from black walnut that I made for my wife. We also made2 set of these for my oldest daughter made from cherry and one from black walnut aslo. Next time I will try to remember to get a pic of us bonding in the basement.

Meadow Ridge Farm

This was cut at the request of my mother for a friend of the family's farm. It was cut out of Maple. Rick AKA Scrollzilla designed the pattern for me. Stop by and say hi to Rick and the gang at http://www.free4allscrollsawpatterns.com/index.php They have a great sight and do some fantastic work there. Its a great place to make some new scrolling and designing friends. We are getting ready for our first summer craft show. I am a little nervous about this. The show is to benefit my wifes local church and it is in a tiny town. We did not have much cummer stock, we have been doing Christmas craft shows for 2 years and having a great time with it. I got all excited Friday when we received our 1st fo many invitations to the upcoming holiday craft show circuit here in upstate Ny and Vermont.

2 Desk name Plates

Here are 2 desk name plates that I made for a friend at work. I used Steve name program to get the basic done then I had the wife draw the arrow for Sarah and I used a patter for karate from another pattern from http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/. Please drop on by and sey hi to Steve and let him know what great patterns he makes. I know I sure appreciate him and the work he does. Thank you Steve.

I bought the 2 name plates in to day and the gentleman was very happy with them. The one thing that I love about working with wood this way is each and every one is uniquely different. Each one is a one of a kind.

Some more earrings

Here are some more earrings that I talked about in the previous post. Some of the patterns are from the magazine and some are ones I created from Clipart and such.

Earrings

Here are some of the earrings that my wife and I have been working on for our first summer craft show. We are doing this the first week end in August in Port Henry New york. We have been doing Christmas craft shows for 2 years now and have really taken a shine to craft shows. It is a great way to get out and show your work and meet some great people.

I got the idea of some earrings from my youngest daughter and a magazine "Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts" I got the basic idea of how to make them and some coaching from my youngest daughter and now I am the proud owner of a bunch of wood earrings. the earrings are approx 1/8 thick and are made from cherry, maple and some oak throne in there. I do the cutting and the Mrs. does the finish work. I believe we have a preyy good system going here. No all I can do is hope they sell at the upcomming craft shows.
