Now Offering Bulk Orders...

I was digging through some pictures of my turnings, and came across a few large orders that I have completed, in the past. Finding these pictures gave me the idea of offering Bulk Orders for pens and keychains.

If you will allow me to use the wood that I have on hand, and order a minimum qty, then I can offer you a deeply discounted price. This is a great way to offer a unique handcrafted gift, for your office, church, client or other event. My Pens and Key Chains can be customized with your name or logo for an extra fee.

All pieces will be made from Random Hardwoods, and may vary in shape, color, or style. At the current prices I have set, you can choose between 24k Gold or Chrome Plated Slimline Pens or Key Chains.  If you would prefer all Light or Dark woods, I may be able to accomodate the request.

As with all my other custom order items, I would be willing to quote you a discounted bulk order pricing, for a particular wood or style.  Please let me know what you are looking for.

April's Blessings

I have finally gotten my wife to agree to start selling some of our designs.  She has been making Crocheted Animals, Blankets, and Dog Toys, for years.  She also enjoys making Beaded Necklaces and Jewelry.  Most of these have gone to friends and family as presents.  Now she has decided to offer her blessings to the rest of the world.

Please take a look at her site, and let us know what you think.  I am still working on getting pictures and descriptions up, so check back often for new items.  You can also follow her on facebook for more information.

As a teaser, here is one of the Animals she made for our son a few years ago.  His name is Nestor Lochland.

Holly Jolly Collection...

A Big thanks goes out to Beadles on Artfire.com, for including my Holly Pendant with Lapis Lazuli Inlay, in the Holly Jolly Collection.

This Pendant is made from Holly Wood, and had a crack running across the face of the Pendant.  I Thought that Enhancing this natural feature by Inlaying Lapis Lazuli, would make for a great feature.
