Following on from the wood that Sue Hanson gave us whilst in London, some shuttles are in the process of being made. I say 'process' as these pictures do not show them fully completed, they still need some more sanding and oiling. But thought you would like a quick look at them.
A request from Sue was to have an indent for the finger/thumb on the top of the shuttle and here it is on a holly one.
The woods are Yellowheart, Violet Rosewood and Pink Ivory
I am still tatting the inserts for the mirror magnets, here is a selection.
They are going to be Christmas giveaways unless they find new homes before then!
Sue Hanson, the instigator! Your I'm in the Garage is a magnificent wood worker!! The mirror magnets are artfully embellished!
