A wooden pendant carved from figured maple, amboyna burl, leopard wood, and copper. An unfinished next step is to add a coat of clear epoxy resin as a glossy finish to help prevent cracking from wood movement. The idea is to hang the pendant from a chain through the copper tube in the upper wood piece.

A more polished version of the leather tray I have been iterating on. I created a mold out of plywood and wet-molded two pieces of leather into shape. I included a bottom liner of some patterned cork fabric and hand-stitched around the edge.

Attempt #2 with a simple leather tray. This time I created a plywood form to wet-mold the leather. Getting better.

I made a external disc drive case out of some old jeans pocket and leather. It is interesting….but there was a measuring error. When the drives are in the case it does not close!

I have been going through a bunch of my old photos. I found an old out of focus photo of a coyote(?) [see original photo at the bottom]. Maybe out of focus is not the right description. The photo looks almost like a multiple exposure blur of coyote, tree, and snow. I added some embellishments and highlights to make the photo…..better?
