Hey Folks,
After making something for myself (the Gramercy Bow Saw), I managed to knock out a small (about 1 1/4") valentine pin for Kris. It's made of some curly maple that I've been saving for some time, then shaped with a rasp, sanded, sanded, and sanded again, then polished, and stained with aniline dyes, and lacquered.

She wore it today, and got rave reviews from the local grocery clerk, which made my day. :D
Happy Valentine's Day,
Tom

Nice! Would have been great to have Kris model it as well.

Excellent. It's amazing how the sometimes the smallest projects are the best.

Hey Don,
I just glued a small safety pin onto the back with some thick CA glue.
Cheers
Tom
