Order #1

[jennera]

Really quick cell photo as hubby is in the hospital with some kind of skin infection on his leg and Rebecca has been asking me to post a couple of things. One of these days she will open her own account!

Here is the first of 3 Christmas orders Rebecca has completed. These were made from a piece of barn wood provided by the customer and we were told it was very old growth oak. It had been on or in the barn for 70-100 years.

I am not too fond of the waspish shape on the chic pens but it is what the customer requested. 2 tec 7, 4 bolt action tec 7, 6 chic line, 2 key chains, and an ornament to be made after dad is released from hospital and can help with planing and gluing up some of the wood.

Thanks for looking! Any comments or critique appreciated!

Those look great.

Question, had Rebecca been turning cocobolo lately? If so, your husband may be having an allergic reaction to it. Also, have they checked to see if maybe it was a spider bite. We have a lot of issues with Brown Recluse spiders here in Georgia and they can make you think it is a skin infection.

I have had those infections with IV antibiotics needed to knock them down. The alternative is ugly.

Good thoughts and prayers for success.

Nice wood. Great to tie in penmaking with a bit of history.

Thanks for the prayers!

It was an infection from a pulled hair follicle most likely. He had a procedure to open the wound and drain it and will most likely be off work the next 2 weeks. Nasty thing! Thankful that they took care of it and he should be able to go home tomorrow or Thursday.
