Bottle Coaster

[Richard Jones]

Not exactly Richard Raffan yet, but I thought this one turned out OK. Pattern is from his Projects book. Wood is lyptus from a scrap pile at a lumber yard near my dad's house in NC, finish is BLO and Ren-wax.

I am getting more comfortable with the bowl gouges and the scrapers now, not so formidable as they were a couple of weeks ago. My thanks to all here who have been helpful and influenced me, whether you knew it or not......

I thought the name of the wine to be quite appropos.......... :)

Hope all have a great day, it's beautiful here in NC.

[Andy Hoyt]

Nice coaster thing.

So when did Mike Meyers team up with the Griz?

[Chris Barton]

Great coaster Rich! I am a FB and have enjoyed many a bottle of FB, a great Shiraz!

[Jim Becker]

Very nice. And it's always interesting to consider the irony of a French wine with an English name... (FB isn't bad, either...)

[Ernie Nyvall]

Good idea Rich. Nice job.
