As most of you were aware the North Alabama was hit hard by the Tornadoes in April. My Church was no exception. The church is Ford's Chapel, the oldest Methodist church in Alabama. The old sanctuary was demolished. I asked my Father if he could get me some of the old framing from the church (some of the wood is from the late 1800) and I would make some commemorative pens and donate the profits to the church. Well I didn't get that wood, but what he brought me is some white oak from the pews that was in the old sanctuary.
The first pen I made is a Leroy black/gold. I just turned it and added a CA finish. The second one is a Leroy gunmetal/gold. I added a stain to the oak and then added a CA finish. The third photo is another view of the second pen.
If the church approves, I am planning on asking $25.00 for each pen. The church should get 12-15 for each one sold. Is the price fair or too high. Also how do they look?
