CraftCrawl Items

Very good turnings

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Pens look great, I have not done any pens yet, have everything to do them, except courage…. I like the yellow acrylic. Thanks for being honest, I wonder sometimes if I am the only one that messes up stuff! I was over in the Honduras and saw those mahogany trees, they are something, and saw a great wood called Prima Vera (spelling). A great wood also. Keep up the good work.

Really like the design of the candle holders!

Very nice work, Gord! I’ve done many wooden pens, but have given them all away! I don’t have one for myself. I did my first acrylic pen last Christmas, and it was a unique turning experience! Crazy shavings, eh?

Fantastic group of turnings. Lots of nice woods and designs.

Keep it up.

Scrappy

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

well done.

I’m curious as to how the craftcrawl works. .. a scavenger hunt?

Hi Debbie.

Basically, a Craft Crawl is a group of crafters who club together and organize themselves (set dates, print lists, create websites, etc). Each crafter sets up a display of their wares in their livingroom, basement, or workshop. On the day of the crawl, the customers, who have compiled a list of crafters (complete with addresses and crafts offered) make there way from place to place, according to the craft they are seeking out. The Crawl takes place within a very local area (in this case the crafters are all within 7 km of each other). I admit to piggy-backing on one crafter; my wife’s friend has offered me space at her place for my work. In return I contribute a portion of my sales to the charity of her choice. Talk about a win-win!!
