Been busy in the shop lately. I do the missionary plaques for our ward. I buy the rough cut walnut, make all kinds of saw dust, glue them together, route the edges and then sand the heck out of them. Once they have alot of oil on them, I take the plaques to an engraving shop and they engrave the map of the country where the missionary is going, as well as their favorite scripture.
We have had four young men in our ward get their missionary callings, so I did a bunch of plaques. Those are done and ready to go.
The Relief Society is getting ready for their fall craft meeting and asked me to cut some things out of wood. The turkey's are small, probalby only about 4 or 5 inches across. They asked for five, I did ten and then found out last night I need to do five more. Just when you think you are ahead???
Then they asked me to do some witches boots. I really liked these. Got the RS ones done and made a bunch for the grand kids.
These could work for witches boots or elf shoes, depending on how they are painted. Have to get some paint and now I have a project for the grandkids to paint. They like helping!!
