keychains

[GaryMGg]

One of my first pens was a slimline with padauk and osage orange.
My daughter wanted it -- `Oooh, that's cool lookin'.
She collects keychains. Guess what she also got:

The image is a bit blurry which sux 'cause it didn't look that way in preview mode and
now they're gone. The osage is turned end-grain and it's sooo slick lookin' in real life.
It's her pocket Christmas tree.
The padauk had a nice balance with smooth transitions and crisp lines.
Both were just fun to do.

Cheers,
Gary

besides the bluryness of the pic they look great.

I love to turn keychains. I save all of my small cutoffs from the pen blanks and glue em up for keychains.
keychains are a great way to just wing it(free form)and a great way to use up scraps.[]

I usually sell em for 10 to 15 bucks depending on the wood.

Gary,

After seeing your pictures and reading your posts, I had to go over to CSUSA and order some kits. I have not turned any keychains yet and was inspired by your works.
