Goodness it has been a while since I have posted anything in the SOYP area....Not That I havent been making pens, quite the contrary, I just have a three and a half month old! So I would say it has been about 3.5 months
Bradley Bear Baker, yep we did it, and he is by far the cutest kid ever, dont hate, sorry if your kid isnt as cute! :biggrin::biggrin:
I am also holding out a few special things on yall until the group buy goes through, stay tuned!
But Here Goes!
Up First is a failed casting save, by design of course:redface:. It has been awhile since I made these quail egg blanks, and these were two that didnt work out really! The separated during casting leaving air pockets on the ends. I saved them for one day!! Over a year later, Come to find out it wasnt anything that a parting tool couldnt take care of! Added in some White resin, and will call it complete! The eggs were dyed teal prior to casting.
Next up probably the last over under I make, only the second one, but its just not my thing really. I like this one though so who knows! Zebra wood and Buffalo Horn.
Cherry pit Atrax that I bought the blank during the last MAPG....been busy since! I used, I believe, A triton tube...for the body to make it about a quarter inch longer than normal, I like it!
And a piece of HRB that I had planned to make an incredible realistic cigar from. You can see where the "leaf" would have met the "ash" , heartwod/sapwood, and would have all been one piece. I got too excited and didnt read that that specific blank was only 5/8", cigarillo maybe, swisher sweet? anyway....Just getting some work out there, because it has been way to long!
C&C Welcome of Course, and thanks for looking as always!
