Just monkeying around.

More Key Chains

Made a few more key chains for loved ones. I am enjoying working with the clay. The one for Kel was an attempt at zebra stripes.

I also made a ring for my wife. I cut it out of red oak and added the charm.

Playing around today making key chains. The two with names are using a program written by Steve Good (my hero). After cutting out the names and gluing the back piece, you fill the name with a polymer clay and bake it. Then sand and sand... still need to coat all of these with a polyurethane to protect them. The third one tells you what I have been doing with a lot of my time. It is the symbol from the game Skyrim.

Family

This is not woodworking, but wanted to share a couple of family pictures from New Years weekend. We ate lunch at Bill Lee's Bamboo Chopsticks in Bakersfield. Great Food!

Also I am posting most pictures to my Pinterest account. http://pinterest.com/tim_munsey/

Bulldog Bowling

Fresno State Bulldogs won the National Championship in Bowling. I was commissioned to make something for the coaches - so here are a couple of pictures of one of the boxes I made.

Payroll People

Payroll People, Inc. – California’s largest privately own payroll processor. As part of the 30 year celebration I made these two items for Bettye Smith, the founder and owner of Payroll People. For more information on the Payroll People’s services go to www.payrollpeople.com

Thank You to the folks that made the pattern for the portrait of Bettye!

Puppy Love

Here are some dog signs I made. Instead of putting the breed names I used the dogs names.

Back In the Shop

After an extended break I am back in the shop. I have had a lot of request for crosses of late. Most of them are variations of a pattern by Arpop.

I have also had someone order some coasters. I believe this is based on a pattern by Steve Good. Here I use ¼” wood, I put a couple of coats of polyurethane, and the last step is to glue a thin piece of cork on the bottom.

Working on a couple of other items I will post when they are done. Pictures coming soon.

Law Enforcement Cross

Here is the first Sue Mey patter I cut. If you have not seen Sue's work it is worth taking the time to look at the patterns she has for sell (along with her new book). http://www.scrollsawartist.com/index.htm

Crafter’s Cove

Today is Opening Day at Crafter’s Cove. I wish everyone there great success! Here are a couple of pictures of my display at the store.
