Slaying dragons!!

I have had a list of projects to get done and luckily I have been able to get alot of them completed.  The arrow above is for a wedding reception for a young woman in our ward.  She wants to be able to mount some small lights on the arrow and use it some how in her reception decoration.  I still need to put the wood through the middle so they have some where to attach the lights, but wanted to make sure the size was what they wanted.  This means 49 inches long.



This is a stand for an iPad.  Scott has a co-worker who's daughter was involved in a car accident several years ago and it has left the daughter bed ridden.  The daughter loves to use the iPad, but it moves around on her table.  Made this out of walnut.  The biggest unknown on this was at what angle she needed the iPod to sit, so the block behind the main board is one of three that I made.  The leading edges on the blocks are cut at three different angles.  The blocks are attached to the base with industrial strength velcro.  As the iPad is put on the stand, it will be held at whatever angle they decide.  The wood is walnut,with hand rubbed Watco Danish Oil.




Last week I finished cutting all the wood for the Relief Society craft meeting.  I cut about 20  of the turkey/sucker holders.  They are in a previous post.  I also cut three of these witches boots for a neighbor.  I really liked the pattern, so I cut enough so we had a pair at all of our grandkids houses.  Musingi's were down this weekend, so we painted witches boots during conference.  Painting with kids is always an adventure, but we had fun.
