Hello and good afternoon, Its been a hellova long day for me, I got started in the shop last night at 8pm and have been giving it hell ever since! Just ran in to get a shower and off to get the boys from school. I wanted to show you all what I have been working on, 14mm male/Ascent Stems, did bout 30 and have 20 more to go before I can be done with this EU order I have been talking about for the longest time! I feel like I have been draggin ass on it but with all else and life happening it hard to get everything done.
These are all made from Nicaraguan Cocobolo, its my favorite species to work lately, it has so many different colors and an eye here and there. These pieces took a little time to turn until I got a solid pace going.
@Sleepin in CA its good to see you round here bro! Been a while, was wondering if I would ever see that piece I made for you again. I am glad you got it figured out and have it hitting well. Thing is its a CRZ stem initially, they always had little room for big loads. You get a couplea three solid hits and then its done. They are great pieces for conservation. Thanks for stopping by with all the pics and your post! Holla at me when you are ready to do something else. We can talk about it and go from there, maybe it will be a little while and I will have a some down time and can make something done for you.
@Reflections Thanks for hanging in there with me. I just ordered some nice crushed turquoise this morning, just gotta find some non toxic adhesive, I cant wait to turn a piece with a thin turquoise band! I feel ya its hard to not hang onto some of the pieces I make. Every once in a while I will put a piece back that I just cant resist holding onto, but for the most part I sell everything I make, after all I am running a business!
Should have Ascent stems available at my website this weekend if anyone is interested! I also thank you all who have been waiting on them, I have just about got the website done and will upload with the pieces soon.
Hope all is well and wish everyone the best! Its almost 5'Oclock somewhere, got some coldies calling my name!
