Click to view: Wine bottle guy

I started this project about a year ago and ran out of ideas. I had the lower half done, but the rest didn't work as planned. I sat it down for a year and got a new idea to finish it with. It holds a standard bottle of wine and the head sits tightly on the top.

Click to view: Birds with an optical illusion

The birds are made of Maple and Walnut. The sun/moon is Yellow Hart and is 10" in dia.

 

In the first picture, the birds have both wings up, one dark and one light. The head and tail are turned slightly downward.

In the second picture, I turned the same two birds slightly clockwise. Now they have one dark wing pointing up, one light with pointin up and the the head/tail are pointed slightly up. Can you see it?

Click to view: Seam rippers

I have many small pieces of exotic wood left from other projects. Karen does a lot of sewing/quilting and uses seam rippers to correct errors. All of her seam rippers have small handles that do not fit her hand well. When she uses them her hand tires. I designed some that work well for her grip and used my scrap pieces too.

Click to view: 1949 MG

My wife always liked the old MGs and I thought I'd try to make a wooden one. I got pictures from the Internet, scaled them up and made one. Each spoke is a stainless steel wire hand glued to the rim. I used South American Cherry, Mahogany, walnut and Maple. I am pleased with how it turned out. This is NOT a toy.
