Order to the U.K.

I love LumberJocks and I understand this is not the place to sell or overly promote your work. But, doing these keeps me sane, busy and away from the places I could get into trouble, when I’m not working my real job (paper mill). Besides I love doing them. And everyone loves their name.

Among the things I make from wood, these are the most popular. I use an old 12” Sears bandsaw with a .125” blade and freehand cut these to order.. This order goes to Slough, Berkshire, U.K.

The most popular are the oak keychains, .625 x .625 square and range from 2-3.5” long depending on how long the name is.

The desk name is mesquite. It measures 1.125×1.125×9.25” long. The back, bottom edge is beveled at 45 degrees to facilitate reading. I love this wood. It is fairly easy to work, strong and dense. It finishes well, too.

“BEANIE” is .375 x .25×1.75” and also in mesquite. I call them MiniTags and are used for zipper pulls, pet tags, backpacks, etc. These are small so I use a scroll saw.

All are finished with three coats of clear lacquer.

Hope I don’t offend by the self-promotion, but I really don’t have time to do anything spectacular and different right now and I wanted to share something. It has been a while.
