Custom Wooden Crochet Hooks

 This request came from several different clients. Wanting to use my lathe more I was intrigued to try my hand at making these.  The first one has produced rave reviews with slight suggestions to improve them. I am learning each one should be made for the individual persons likes or dislikes.  First comment was can you make something like this, only make a bigger bubble up from the point.

 It is roughly 6 inches long with the point and throat around a number 5....Once it was turned on lathe, the tip is shaped by hand using files and knifes. Then finish sanding and coating with a hand rubbed finish.

The biggest comment I have heard so far is the standard crochet hooks make your hand tired after using them for a while. Therefore the bubble turned into my hooks allow the user to cradle it in your fingers.

First project in progress with this hook.

Lathe work and hand shaping done with a hand rubbed finish applied

Custom Cedar Door Mat

 This project was made out of cedar and measures in at around 36 inches wide and 24 inches deep. Each slat was around 1 1/2 inches square and I rounded over all the edges on the router table.

The finished project in use.

Then I setup a jig so holes could be drilled on each end of the board, so a rope could be ran though the holes to hold it together and make it easy to pick up and shake of any dirt or mud.

Edges then rounded over to provide a smooth surface.

First cut to length

Stay tuned for more updates soon......:-) ****************************************************************
