Fireplace Bellows

[Jim Finn]

I set up my lathe to make this. I had it packed away for the past six years. I made this fully functioning fireplace bellows for a friend to use in his fishing cabin. It is made of eastern red cedar and soft maple inlay with leather and a brass nozzle. 18" long 6" wide. I have made fifty bellows over the past 30 years but this is the first one I did an inlay in. (Will not be my last)

This looks really nice. Functional too. Jared

Really nice looking piece. I'll bet your friend loves it.

Where do you get your hardware for this? BTW, great looking bellows!

[Mel Fulks]

The unusual combination of a fish with a bellows and the perfect combining of the shapes is quite artful !

Where do you get your hardware for this? BTW, great looking bellows! The hardware includes: nozzle, hinge (under the leather)and upholstery tacks. I bought the tacks from an upholsterer, the leather from Tandy leather, the hinge on line somewhere and the nozzle is the shell casing of a 30-30.
