Curly maple grips for Ruger bisley #009

These grips are slighly different from most of the other grips I have posted. Most of my other grips have flat chamfers on the butt and at the top, these are rounded over. It's not a big difference but it does give these grips a unique character. Like most of my other grips these are made a bit larger than factory grips for a more hand filling fit and to help tame the recoil of magnum rounds. These grips are $75.00 with medallions and including screw and shipping. SOLD!!

Name Plate with Mother of Pearl inlay

I made this name plaque as a graduation gift for my brother. He recently graduated from Chiropractic school and is now a Doctor.  The plaque is made from chechen wood with hand cut aluminum letters.  The inlay of the vertebrae on the right side is cut from mother of pearl, brass and copper.  I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out.  Some of the letters are a little rougher than I realized, unfortunately, the flaws show up more after the parts are glued down and sanded flush.  But all-in-all not bad.

Scarab Beetle Plane

Here is a small plane I made some time ago.  I had this idea to make a plane in the shape of an Egyptian scarab beetle.  The plane is about 4 inches long and the body is walnut with an ebony wedge.  The 1 inch wide iron is from a small stanley trimming plane.  The mouth is a bit wide and the blade is a little flimsy but the plane will take a small shaving and is actually not bad for putting chamfers on edges.

Cribbage Board with Inlay

I made this cribbage board as a wedding present for a friend. The board is made from a piece of cherry that I have been hanging onto for a while. The inlay is a Celtic wedding knot. I wanted the inlay to be three different colors to highlight the design of the knot. The darkest part of the inlay is walnut. The reddish wood is lyptus and the light wood is olive. In one end of the board there is a spot for storing the pegs. The mechanism is quite simple and consists of a spring loaded oak rod with a hole drilled cross ways through the middle. A brass rod fits in a slot cut into the oak rod and limit the amount of travel in or out. I got quite an education from this project. If there is a next time, I will use a different kind of glue to glue the inlay to the base block. The clear epoxy I used didn't do me any favors hiding the inevitable gaps between the inlay and the base wood. Also the spring I got out of a used ink pen is a little under powered for the mechanism. I already have some better springs that I might use. Also, when I was done I wished the inlay and the holes for the cribbage pegs where more in harmony with each other and not just mashed together. Next time I'll take the placement of the holes into consideration.
