Love handle

Gary: The suprises that you get when working with wood. What looks like ordinary Walnut turn out to be something else.

A very nice love token.

What a great surprise to find!

Is it just me, or does the grain form a little heart in that close up picture of the handle??

if that doesn’t show that this is a gift made from love, then nothing will! Looks fantastic Gary!

it might also be the only love handle that she brags about having!! – sorry, couldn’t resist…

I forgot to mention that I didn’t notice the Heart, but my wife noticed it right away. I guess I was looking for something else. It takes a females eye to see the smaller things in life.

The amazing thing is I didn’t see the heart while turning, finishing, polishing, or wrapping.
Only saw it while reviewing the photo on the digital camera to see if it was focused.
Then, I went back and looked at the handle—it’s as real and natural as can be.
I’m sooo tickled ;-)
Thanks for viewing.

I saw it right away, so what does that say about me?... Perhaps I’ve been outnumbered by the females in the house for far too long (wife, daughter and two cats, after moving out of a house with my mother and sister – dad wisely working 3rd shift) and things are rubbing off??? Should I go out and get a dog?

When your post was titled love handle and the first thing I saw was a rolling pin, I thought you were being funny. The heart is very nice though, makes it very special.

I have a dog… Though he is less of a man than he used to be… Aside from that… totally outnumbered… and I caught the heart immediately… Maybe that is a problem…?
