Neat, like Steve, I would have never thought of making wooden buttons. Goes to show you, for every idea there is a buyer out there somewhere.

You just opened a can of worms for me Stewart:-) I was just checking some of my wood in the shop for turning,
These are great especially the spalded, great work friend!

Nice Steve. No troubled glueups. What else could one ask?

Is Mrs YS willing wood needles as well?

Great Idea Stewart and very well done too. It’s nice when that you and your wife’s hoboes converge a little.

Neat! I’d be interested in how you make them.

Thanks

Russ

Stewart:

Those buttons are so cool. Nice job. It would take a Paul Bunion sized shirt to hold a row of those buttons.

Thanks Jocks! CharlieM1958 – they do go spinning off into the dark corners of the workshop at times when I’m giving a last buffing!

Fernandoindia I have done short ‘cable’ needles for her. They’re only around four inches long so quite easy. conventional needle need to be precision made. I’ve yet to find a technique for a needle 14” long x 1/8”! See here

Kent Zippers? Mmmm not yet!

RussinMichigan – I’ll try to take some pictures of my process in the near future.
