I will use this section to display some of the items that I have created more recently. After a month or so, I will move them to the post that fits the genre of the piece.

RUSTIC BENCH
RUSTIC BENCH – 10/24 -I made this rustic bench for the Ranch Club Golf Club as a memorial for a member that recently passed away. The ponderosa pine ends were cut from a 24″ dia. trunk and split into two halves. The 2″ thick slabs for the bench seat and back are also ponderosa pine. The “Ranch Club” logo and the memorial phrase are routed into the surface. I installed strips of black metal banding around the ends to prevent the bark from eventually separating from the stump ends. The bench will be placed at the golf course near the practice green.

FRAMED FLOWERS
FRAMED FLOWERS – 10/24 – Another batch of round framed flowers. When cast into epoxy, every species of flower reacts differently. I am slowly starting to discover which species hold their color and shape better. The segmented frames are cherry wood.
