So I tried something new: Wands.  Made from scraps, I added some details with the woodburner.  Was a fun, fairly easy project.  We'll see if they sell at all.

Mostly maple except no. 3 which is walnut sapwood/heartwood.

Wow. You made more than I did. I've made a couple as gifts. I haven't gotten around to making a few to try and sell them. What did you color those with?

Nice shapes and sizes.

I thought that craze as done a few years ago.  I know some guys were making a killing selling them
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

You could always sell them as spurtles if they don't sell as wands. I like the embellishments.

Thanks.  I used some Mission Brown dye I had lying around.  Then a couple of coats of poly.

Yup, I had to look up spurtle too. With one laying around... you wouldn't want to make her angry...
