Here are some pins...

...that I carved and painted.

Yankee Doodle Whittlebear
3" high and 2 1/8" wide, carved in Eastern White Pine and painted with acrylic paints. The fine detail, i.e. the stars and stripes were drawn on with a Rapidograph drafting pen using thinned down acrylic paints. It has 3 coats of High Gloss Lacquer.



Celtic Knot Lovespoon
3" long, carved in basswood with several coats of Clear Satin Minwax Wipe-on Polyurethane. Then coated with Johnson's Paste Wax.


Trinity Knots
1 3/4" wide, from top left to bottom right, carved in pine, red cedar, butternut, basswood and aspen--Note the knot in the knot! The pins were left natural and finished with Clear Satin Minwax Wipe-on Polyurethane. Then coated with Johnson's Paste Wax.


Valentine's Day Celtic Knot Lovespoon
3" tall, carved in cherry. The knotwork was left natural and the hearts were painted with red acrylic paint. The pin was sprayed with High Gloss Lacquer.


St. Patrick's Day Trinity Knot
2 1/2" wide by 3" tall shamrock with a trinity knot carved in red cedar. The pin was left natural and sprayed with High gloss Lacquer.


Mother's Day Rose
3 inches square carved in aspen. The rose was left natural and the 3 leaves painted with acrylic green paint. The pin then received 2 coats of Clear Satin Minwax Wipe-on Polyurethane.
