Jon has been busy on the lathe making duck calls. These are just a sample of what he has turned on the lathe. The exotic wood call with the brass band made out of wenge wood turned out awesome. Good job, Jon!
Eli with a beautiful oak quilt rack he made for his grandmother. It turned out nice and I bet she loves it for handmade gifts from the heart are pretty special. Good job, Eli!
Emma with an awesome live edge charcuterie board with exotic wood accent strips in the middle. She thought this project idea up and I am proud of her for completing the project idea from start to finish. The handles add a nice touch to it as well. Good job, Emma!
