Hi folks, been a fairly long time since my last post...
I was recently asked if I make Wooden Buttons... Well, not wanting to give up a chance at something new... I took to Youtube...
So, now, i'm looking for branches... and advice from anyone who's made wooden buttons.
Natural edge? do I get rid of the bark? Looking for Figure (Keep in mind, I live in Western Canada... we have lots of spruce... some crab apple trees but nothing to exotic... naturally occurring that its).
Where would I source such things? Working with Green wood? Should I dry it first? some suggestions would be to boil them in an oil (thinking mineral oil)... Any and all suggestions welcome!
