This is Celé, our elderly chocolat labrador. She is a lovely, greedy, cheeky bitch, but we love her to bits!



Book marke do very well at craft fairs, especially when you can put a name on it

Yesterday eve we went to celibrate the 50th wedding aniversary of some good friends. Being a tight wad I decided not to spend any money on a card, well they are Northerners , so I turned, cut and pyrographed one for them. I think they liked it? Beech with an ash support and stands about 8" high.



It stands by a support on the back the same as this one


Edit : - I forgot to say that I turn pieces like this because for me it's the easiest and most enjoyable way of getting the blank that I want. I don't have a thicknesser and i don't think that I would be happy to do something like this with one. You can change the thickness and the character of the plaque so much more by spinning it IMHO.. A hot glue chuck to turn the back and put a chucking recess, then chuck mount it and turn what ever surface form that you wish...

Lovely work

Great work, especially the "card".

Thank you folks. I have just realised, the wrens are on both the first and last pieces. I really like them. They were taken from an etching OHs cousin has.

Fantastic examples of Pyrography and especially on turned work to get it off the flat!

Thank you Vivien.

I have just read your entry on another thread about using carbon paper. I have always used it and, as I stated elsewhere, the only time I have ever had a problem was when I first started and used blue. It looked a real mess because it showed up like a sore thumb if even the tiniest part of a line was not covered. I now use black and even that was difficult to find here in France. To try to find graphite paper???

Ah. France may be different but in Australia and where I am, I can get graphite very easily and at a reasonable price. Actually, I get it from the place below(click on transfer paper) who may be able to supply internationally if you send her an email.

We mostly get the blue in Australia and yes, as you mentioned, it is a real problem. I have a big piece I keep as an example as it is very visible and no matter what I tried to do, I couldn't get it out.
