Pens
To mark the 10 anniversary of my fathers passing, I made pens from the trimmings of an apple tree he planted years before he died. I gave them as gifts to everyone on his side of the family. You don't always have to use exotic woods.
The place I worked at was undergoing a renovation.They were throwing away the White Oak step that surrounded the counter (it was a big counter). I literally pulled it out of the hopper and took it home. I thought it was a nice score. I made a few pens for the people I worked with there as none of us work there anymore.This is how they came out.
