My latest gizmo design
« on: April 09, 2020, 10:02:14 AM »
Gun builders have given me a bunch of fancy wood cut offs to make gizmos out of for the Trad Gang St Jude auction. THE AUCTION WILL OPEN FOR BIDDING FRIDAY MAY 22ND AROUND 6 PM EASTERN. In the past when my scraps were smaller than the necessary 1" X 1" to make a gizmo I threw them in the burn pile. Lately I've been making laminated gizmos with contrasting wood to utilize these highly figured scraps. I really like the new design and almost no wood goes to the burn pile

I freehand these after rough cutting them out on a bandsaw so none of them are cookie cutter perfect. I have given away or auctioned off for charity almost 300 of them. I find they bring more money for the kids if I sign them so I signed the extra fancy ones.

Here is an exhibition grade walnut gizmo with a contrasting lighter walnut accent, this one is on the auction.

Really nice looking Eric :thumbsup:
Still think those yellow pencils don't do them justice. You need some of these;
