Carved Pot by Eric Armstrong

I finished this rendition of a ca.1400s Native American (Woodland) storage pot. It's made from walnut and I painted it, trying to achieve a pottery effect. It's finished with Old Village "Pewter" paint, wiped with black stain, rubbed back and finished with clear Krylon Flat.

18th Century Style Turn Screw by Brad Emig

I recently finished this 18th Century style turn screw.  It is entirely hand made from original 18th Century Wrought Iron.  It's decorated with a suppressed ball turning, ogee moldings and hand engraved finial.  I finished it off with proper heat treating technology of the period to ensure proper function and longevity.
