Newest creation

This box came out of a discussion by some ladies as to the merit of having a wall mounted box with shelves to use as storage. Some ideas are spice storage, guest room and guest bath sundries storage, family room items that end up where they shouldn't be, spool storage, your imagination is your only limit. The boxes can be designed for the size of the stitched piece you want in your frame or as one lady said, she'll decide what to use it for and then determine the piece she'll stitch for it!

This is the front. This box is painted in a soft, lovely cream but our current colors are Americana red, blue, green, gloss black, gloss deep chocolate brown, a navy blue and cream. Stained boxes are substantially more expensive due to the cost of the wood that has to be used. Let us know what you're interested in. The other colors can be seen in a post further down.

Quaker Casket stitched by Margaret

This is a casket created and designed by Larry but stitched by Margaret (one of our very satisfied customers!). The blue gives it a whole different feel from mine. It's beautiful.
This is one of the end panels
And one of the front/back panels

Thread/floss winders

These thread/floss winders are hand carved. The 'design' is always different due to wood variations. They make nice little gifts for your needleworking friends.

Miscellaneous carving work

I carved this boot for a friend of ours - from Texas of course!
This is called a styalized bear because there are no individual features.
This is a leaf candy dish I worked up.

Hand carved ornaments

Sometimes it's fun to go into my workshop and just play around. That's when I create little ornaments for people.

You have to have some trees to hang on the tree. OR you might want some to sit around in a little village scene I made a 'normal' snowman but of course living in Texas, I also had to have a Texas snowman!

More Spoons I've made

Here are some pictures of more spoons that I've hand carved. All of my spoons are available for sale. If interested, email me for more information.

They say everyting is bigger in Texas, so this is a large spoon!
The spoon on the right is commonly known as a love spoon because of the intertwining of the wood. This would be for decorative use.
All my spoons are able to be used with and for food.
The 2 small spoons in the center of this picture are going to be for ornaments on a Christmas tree. Or wherever you'd like to hang them.
