Finally, pics of the Manzanita desk clock

[punkinn]

The desk clock the BF turned from the same blank as his bowl... the cut-off from cutting the flat for the base is the pen stand. I couldn't waste a millimeter of that beautiful wood!

and views of all sides of the gorgeous burl:

Thanks for taking the time to let these load.

You're picking this stuff up WAY too quickly! Beautiful job!

That would look good on any desk, Nancy!

Great job! Especially like the frugality of the plan!! Hope to see more of this kind of thing. Interesting pen shape as well.

Now that is very nice. Simple and elegant. Great colors in the wood and I really like the crevaces. GREAT WORK!

Nancy,

Let me know when you recovered from the "trauma" dealing with this wood. I managed to "unearth" some of my manzanita stock. LOL

 

[punkinn]

Uh oh! [:0] I wasn't dealing with this... the BF did these pieces; I just did the pen. []

Oh dear... sigh. Okay, whatcha got? (we need an obsessive/compulsive smilie)

Hi Nancy,

I love the texture in the pen stand, it feels real...and the pen looks awesome as well,, this has more apeal to me than a standard all in one desk set...again, wonderful to see...[]

I have two big ones and a few smaller burls.

The biggest is about 40 pounds and the next one is approx 30+ pounds []. The small ones usually don't have as much color so I am not even looking at those.

I saved these since I cannot cut them with a bandsaw (only chainsaw) but dug them up to tempt you (and your BF) LOL [}]
