This page includes new items that I am working on to see if they are
feasible to make and to see if there is any interest to purchase. It also has work that I was consigned to do by patrons. "One-offs" that I did to explore my boundries. I am constantly experimenting. Feedback is always welcome. Click on any image to enlarge. For more views of these pieces as well as others, please visit my Flickr albums.  Business Card HolderHandmade from Walnut and maple, these hold about 10-12 cards. They are finished with 3 coats of clear lacquer. $12.00 each Order or Contact  A request from my Aunt.  To sell, I would have to get $30.00 for the set.  My wife and I have collected a veritable treasure in beautiful, yet probably worthless coins from around the world. Instead of researching each one, we are experimenting with incorporating them into "object d'art". The fob you see in the following photo and in my Flickr album is a 5 Peso coin from Mexico set into a Rosewood holder. It measures 1/4" by 1 3/8" by 1 3/4". I drilled a 1/8" hole though the top for a loop, strap or band to be installed. This is the problem I am working out now. Any suggestions? Flickr Link  A friend of ours, a rock hound, ran across a bunch of genuine gemstone tile samples, all different. Beautiful precious stones arranged intarsia style and applied to a ceramic tile substrate. He also had some mesquite wood
that he had been storing for some time. A couple weeks ago, he asked me
if I could do anything with the lot of it. This is the result.
The primary wood is mesquite. The tile is black onyx and abalone. I backed the tile with eucalyptus that would show on the inside of the lid. The lid is hinged with brass rod. The joints are pegged with bamboo. The size is approximately 3 x 3 x 6". The finish is linseed oil and wax. SOLD
Here is the second of the series. The tile is tiger eye, black onyx and jasper. For the rest of the description, see above.
