wooden jewellery anyone?

Well Pete got my interest when he posted the pendants he made, so I had a go:

The red ones are padouk, the light ones are beech and the brown ones are best pallet wood! The inlay is maple or walnut. These have been well liked.
While buying the bits to complete them I saw these:

So here is something for myself, I love cuff links:


These are sycamore and pine, other woods are under investigation.
I have had requests for some of these so will be making a small run, a couple of small jigs will speed production. 8)

Sorry about the flash in the pictures but I have miss laid the tripod.

They are indeed very nice, Dave . I hope we'll see you develop the designs further to extend the range because they are most definitely marketable.

I do love those earings and pendants. Must get around to that.

I wear cufflinks often so that's on the list too.

Very nice, Dave. Good to see that someone else likes cuff links - not many people seem to wear them these days.

Cheers :wink:

Hi, Dave

Looking good, I like the beech ones.

I made a oval Teak bangle for the wife the other day will post a pic later.

Lovely Dave and I have to say that having seen them in the flesh so-to-speak at Good Timber just before xmas, the workmanship is second top none!!!

Nice one Dave, I see your workbench is as clear and tidy as ever :lol: :wink:

Come on now Mark, how you would know it was my shop if the bench was clear. :roll:

How do the cuflink bits fit to the wood ?

The cuff link bars have a 9mm pad on them, so I drilled a 10mm hole 1mm deep. I reground the centre on a cheap lip and spur bit so it don't break though. Then it was out with the 5 minute epoxy, not really woodwork but it does the job.

So what does the team think I should ask price wise for this sort of thing? I don't have a clue.
