I snuck in a little studio time this week and, made these inlaid pins.
Walnut in maple PG hardwood, sanded to 650 grit, wipe-on poly finish. Pin backing attached with wood glue.
12oz bottle of mead for scale, in case the bottle cap doesn’t convey it.
This was inspired by a Mastodon logo pin I knocked out in a few minutes on a recent Sunday in response to someone else’s post on Mastodon. I ended up making a handful of those out of some purpleheart ply and maple.
Oh my…those are perfectly and elegantly lovely.
They look great
wow, my hat’s off to you! You do such fine work. More please, more.
I love the fine line inlay! Wow!
Nice work!!
Those look awesome!
Beautiful!!!
Saw those on Instagram and loved them.
If your mead is as good as your blood-orange marmalade, you’ve got quite a brew there!
It has been a hit with friends and family. The guy who runs the local brew supply twisted my arm to let him enter it in the state mead cup a couple times. So, I have a couple ribbons where I beat out local professional brewers. I made friends with someone in Oak Creek who tends an apple orchard and has a hydraulic cider press. I make an annual pilgrimage to get fresh juice for the mead.
