Floating Clock

I had a chance to work on this clock again.
It still needs sanding and finishing yet but I wanted to share.
 

Brazilian Cherry, curly Aspen, set in a quadrant of a Yellow Block Burl


There is a hidey hole in the back to keep some small items out of sight.


Such a natural beauty

 
It does function as a small shelf as well




If you want a unique gift or need something made for yourself, give me a shout and we can get a project started today.  billsbilletboxes@gmail.com

Camp Signs?

This is made from redwood.
 
 
V-Carving

 
This still has quite a bit of work to do yet.

 
Plenty of sanding, edge finishing, painting, and clear coating

 
If you need a custom sign of your trailer or otherwise, why don't you drop me a note

1911 Wall hangings

I am in the process of making a bunch of large 1911 wall plaques. These will be made from Cherry and Walnut mainly. Sizes will be 12 inch, 18 inch, 24 inch, and 30 inch versions. You can pick from either left or right side. If you order both I will work you a deal.
 
This one is the first of the 12 inchers and is spoken for. It is made from cherry. I will post up finished pictures here very soon. I wanted to share the in process pictures.
 
This needs finish sanding yet around the grips, trigger etc. and on all faces but those will follow soon.

Osage Orange and Lignum Vitae box

I have always wanted to machine Osage before but just never found it anywhere.
I figured to mate it with Lignum Vitae one of the hardest most dense woods in the world (does not float) with one of the most dense woods that grows in this country.
 
 
I had this piece of Lignum around for a couple years. I have since decided I would not purchase any more of it as no one is planting these trees anymore. 


So once all mine is gone, its gone.
