Another commission finished! Dave just finished this beautiful cameo shuttle and needle minder set made out of rare Pink Ivory wood. It's on the way to a very special customer!

"Leaping Frogs" Tatting Shuttle

"Leaping Frogs" Tatting Shuttle

Dave is still working on commissions and just finished this huge 5 inch TATSY size shuttle for a customer. He dubbed it "Leaping Frogs" but also calls it a "bull frog" shuttle due to its size. Its used for tatting with large size embellishments. The center post is approx 1 1/8 inches high. He handcrafted it from figured maple wood and it has a bees wax finish.

What's Dave Been Up to Lately?

You may have noticed that Dave hasn't had many items up for auction on Ebay lately, but that's not because he's not working. He has been creating up a storm in his studio! I keep trying to get him to let me take a photo of his workspace, but he gets a panicked look on his face and says "Nooooo"! LOL

One of the projects he's been working on is the beautiful set shown above that was commissioned by one of our wonderful patrons. The ruler is scrimshaw on bone and the scissor fob features scrimshaw on fossil mammoth ivory. The focal bead on the fob is fossil walrus which has been accented with small bone beads and amethysts. East Indian Rosewood was used for the tatting shuttle, which also has the teddy bear scrim'd on fossil mammoth ivory.

Dave is nearly finished with his last commission, which was a large order from a tatting shuttle collector, so you should be seeing some new auctions soon! I'll be sure and post them here when he has them ready :)

Being Busy is a Good Thing!

Dave is making up for all of the time he lost while he was sick! He has been churnin' and burnin' in his studio lately working on a long list of commissioned pieces. While this is great for him and our wonderful customers, it leaves our spot on Ebay a little empty. If you are one of our loyal Ebay patrons, please know that Dave will list new items soon!
