Trout Wine Rack


I made this trout wine rack last night. I like it so much, I'm planning a series of racks with various fish species. This one is modeled after a rainbow trout - one of my favorites. The piece is 30" long and has been clear coated. Each piece is numbered, signed, and dated on the back.

Propane Tank Luminaries




Above are a few tank designs I made here this past weekend for the market. They're made from old 20 lb propane tanks. They make very unique gifts. The tops are hinged, and there is a drainage hole in the bottom. Place a candle, or light inside and you are ready to go. Tanks can be customized in any way - Names, dates, addresses, images, etc. If you have any tanks you'd like to donate, I'd be happy to take them off your hands! Enjoy. Thanks.

Leaf Bowl



This Maple and Oak leaf bowl has been one of my latest custom commissions I thought I'd share. The metal is made from 11 ga. recycled steel. The veins are all raised weld lines which gives the bowl some texture and depth. There are 4 maple, and 4 oak leaves in this bowl. It's 16-18" in diameter, and 2.5" in height. Stay tuned for some more fall creations. I'm nearly done with a batch of propane tank luminaries. I'll post some pics as soon as I get them painted up. I can't believe it's September all ready. This year went by so fast!
