Spalted Persimmon Wedding Set

Just finished and photographed a new Custom Order Wedding Set.  I made this set by layering Spalted Persimmon between layers of Walnut.  The Spalting gives the Persimmon some very wild black streaks running through the grain.

I love the look of this wood.  However it is very limited supply.  This Persimmon was taken from a tree removed at my Mom's house. 

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.

Mystery Wood Heading to Fiji...

Recently I was contacted by a couple wanting a Wedding Set.  They were planning on eloping to Fiji over Christmas.  They were wanting to go as non-traditional as possible, so they decided on a set of wooden rings.

After some discussion they agreed on a design that they liked.  I happened to have a couple pieces of mystery wood that I thought would contrast well, and come close to the design sent.

I started with a Dark Wood Base, and used a Lighter Contrasting Veneer. The grain was set running across the ring, instead of around the ring.  It makes it appear that there are many small pieces of wood placed around the ring.

Please feel free to comment below, and let me know what you think.

Padauk Ring and Necklace Set

One of my friends recently requested a matching set to include a Necklace and Ring. These were to be made out of Padauk Wood with Lapis Lazuli Inlay.

The color of the Padauk is just amazing, and it gives the Lapis a darker tint, that pops very well.  The pictures do not do this set justice.

Custom Order Wedding Set Ready to Ship

I Just recently completed this Matching Wedding Set. 

A couple from Washington State Contacted me to commision a set of rings out of Cherry Wood with Lapis Lazuli Inlay.  Cherry has a Great Significance to her Fiance, and the contrast with Lapis is just amazing.
