Christmas Trees - Texas Pecan Style

After two days of turning it was time to clean up the shop, anyone need 3 gallons of not trees?
We took a break from turning pens to get into the Holiday spirit.  We choose to do some quick facebook marketplace sales of rustic trees.    20 from Pecan and 10 from Maple.   $20 for 5.  Each vary in height from 4 inch to 10 inch tall.  Sorry they are all sold.   Find some by other sellers in your local area or on Etsy.
I also made one snowman from spalted Maple from Southwestern Michigan deadfall from my parents yard picked up after a storm.
Lilli turned a trio of pens on commission for some Iowa 5th graders who go above and beyond in the classroom.   After careful evaluation of teachers in three districts it has been decided that this teacher is indeed the best teacher in the entire USA.  If there is a contest he needs to nominated.
Some other recent items that will be for sale.
And a new style offered, a fatter more refined pen typical of executives, bankers, etc.  


Please contact us with your challenging pen desires.   We have a couple more Christmas special requests that we can talk about in January.
