Sue's birthday heart.

As I made a heart for my good friend Derrick it seemed a good idea to make one for my Good Lady.
I can't remember what the wood is but it is from the piece above, some sort of redwood that I found in my shed.

More cos it's nice wood than my efforts though !

Comment by Ron Cooper on March 25, 2018 at 16:54: Wow! That turned out really nice. I love the grain, the way it sweeps across the face of the heart. I'm sure that Sue will hold this as one of her most precious and dear possessions. Good show, John!

Featured Comment by Charles Sample on March 25, 2018 at 16:32: Good job John!

Comment by Jan Carter on March 18, 2018 at 18:37: John that is an exceptional gift and Dale is correct. Sue will treasure this more the contents of an entire jewelry store.

Dale, yep...we are pretty much all just like that. A flower from a field where you were thinking about her is priceless.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 18, 2018 at 15:38: Great job, John.

Homemade gifts are meant to be treasured.

Comment by John Bamford on March 18, 2018 at 13:12: Thanks, Dale , Sue isn't supposed to be having anything bought for her birthday as she has given her birthday money away to help her sister out.

I think that I will have to buy her something anyway !!

I guess I am just keen on whittling really and simple shapes like this are just so satisfying to do, shows the wood grain so well.

In Memoriam Comment by D ale on March 18, 2018 at 12:28: Very nice, John.

Sue will likely value the heart far more than anything you could purchase.

Abby has a framed Lily I gave her.

I found it while running the (canine) kids .. 12 yrs ago.

Very nice, John !!
