Wonderful Wifey: Could you turn some spool ornaments for my quilting group at our monthly "Sew In"?
Me: Sure, what do you want and how many?
Wonderful Wifey: A spool with a needle...about a dozen.
Me: Okee Dokee!
Result: Over a dozen spools turned with wooden needles ready for Wifey's touch.
She pyro-ed the spools and added the thread.
After pyro on unfinished, sanded spools, I did a quick one coat spray with satin lacquer, followed by Beall buffing.
Spool woods: Maple, Cherry, Poplar, Pine, and Walnut.....fish hook hanging eyes.
Needles made from round toothpicks with eye cut with dental bit, hand sanded to 400G and Beall buffed.
Me: Expecting a report from quilting friends.
