I was comissioned to do a "plaque" for a neighbor's wife. He wanted something special but didn't know what that was. Soooooooo....... deskplate and pen from the same beautiful chunk of walnut I found locally. and the paperclip closed form is from some black walnut.
Obviously the pics are not the best with the red hues of the table contaminating the pieces, but I did want to get a pic before they went home. I oiled the wood with BLO so they match really well.
I noticed how dry the inside of the paperclip cup looked so I added some lemon oil...... smells nice too! Also, on the next one I will lower the magnet some too..... it's a trade out. Wear on wood or looks?
Thanks,
Michael
ps - The clock is obviously reversible if one wanted to put that at the "customer" end of the desk. In my line of work I don't leave throwables there....:cool:
