Hand Turned Bowls

I'd love to share my brother's hand-turned wood items with you!.  Here I've included pictures of various bowls.  He uses different types of wood, all with beautiful woodgrain and markings.

You can find his hand turned wood items in his ETSY shop,  Woodhawk Gallery.  

Gift Idea: French Rolling Pin

I love these rolling pins! Made of solid Maple Wood, they are smooth and easy to roll. I use mine often for rolling out dough for pepperoni bread. They are easy to clean up too - just wipe down with a damp cloth or a little sudsy water.

A perfect gift for anyone on your list that loves to bake!  Available on ETSY at Woodhawk Gallery:  Link to Item

Favorite Things

I still have birds on my mind! I thought I'd show off a few of my collections. I took some pictures recently of furniture that my dad has made over the years. I'm so fortunate - my dad is a retired industrial arts teacher and loves to work in his workshop! All I had to do was show him a picture of what I wanted and he would make it. His skill, workmanship and attention to detail was impecable. It's difficult these days to watch him slow down due to his Parkinsons Disease and several strokes he has had, but I cherish the time I get to spend with him and my mom now.

Below is a little cabinet he built to store my cookbooks. He later added a shelf so I could display some of my mom's teacups and a few of my birds.

Before I was married, my dad built this corner hutch for my condo. When my husband and I were searching for our first home, one of my requirements was that it had to have a place to put this hutch. I was thrilled to find a home that had the perfect corner in the great room!

The top of the hutch is perfect for one of my collections!
