Little Stand

Even little things have big stories. The wood was an old round that was checked and twisted.Passed along to me from an old wood worker that never broke into it. I split a wedge and sliced a water melon piece out of it, put it to the band saw to get the big arcs, then drilled with a forsner on each side of center, a few cuts hear and there and a ton of sanding and I ended up with a custom scrimshaw holder, or I got to thinking maybe a business card holder? Anyway, I needed a scrimshaw holder to display my work. An old friend had a broken cribbage board made from a walrus tusk. He said for some scrimshaw he would give me the rest of the ivory. So I cut it up into little pieces and put some art on them. Playing around I came up with this. I only know how to put in the three pictures so can’t show you any more shots. I’m amazed I’m getting this done. LOL. You can go to photobucket.com , look up mtnwild and see my photos of other projects I mess around with. Do all this for kicks so far. Make a random dollar here and there, mostly everything end up gifts, so I don’t have to buy anything on the different occasions. Hope you enjoy. OH, I found out the wood is plumb.
