It's been a while since I stirred up moms blood pressure. :bg:

I had some time in my shop this weekend and took some pics to show around, gave this set as a gift for the office x-mas party.

In order they are walnut, teak and maple.
I'm lucky I survived moms cooking :p

Ooooough they are beautiful but I wouldn't use them for wine bottle corks they are too pretty for that, they'd make beautiful bed post.
I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.

Well Dave,
I'd put them in wine bottles! They would get plenty of use here. They are beautiful.

I'd put them in wine bottles too but I can't drink wine it makes me loopy and plain out drunk! So it will have to make pretty bed decor.

Seriously Dave they are beautiful. I wish my husband had time to make things with wood. I'd be his first customer. Your work is very nice.

Kath, I love my quilt and yes everytime someone comes over to my house for first time, the first thing I do is take them in my bedroom and brag about how wonderful my friends are here and show them my quilt. I treasure that thing and it's so warm. I feel well loved everytime I wrap up in it.

Yes Dave is the one who loves to torment his mother (Mary) here.
Beautiful work Dave, wish my son had a crafty talent.

Susie, since when do you need any alcohol to make you loopy? I thought you where that way all the time!!!!!!:bg:

conissour (sp?)-

It's connaisseur.

Dave, you never stop to amaze me. They are just beautiful and I wish I would have known about these jewels before Xmas. They are the perfect gift for a friend of mine.
