Brass, and copper, a gift.

Heart Bike 8oz Flask
This sturdy stainless steel flask has been embellished with a hand cut brass bicycle inside a heart. The brass bike heart has been polished to a nice shine, and the stainless steel flask will remain polished for years to come. The strong screw top will protect your precious drink from escaping until you want it to. A flask built to last.
This is the perfect gift for anyone who might like to carry a “special” water bottle on that long bike ride. It is also great for post ride (internal) embrocation.
Please use flask responsibly.
Bicycle Wheel Laundry Basket
I had some old bike wheels laying around, and my current laundry basket was giving up the ghost…so I made this. The spokes are actually tensioned using a bit of JB-weld, and some creative threading, the thing actually holds a true…sorta.
Flower Pendant
This was a failed attempt at making a pendant with a tropical flower, and a little silver bee. It just never did what I wanted it to do. But it was an interesting experiment. I wouldn’t use shellac again for this sort of application.
Copper And Brass Jewelery Box
Another piece built for someone special. Copper and brass construction with a crow feather on the bottom (with horrible soldering, I was still learning), the lid is made from rubber wall liner sample pieces, the kind you find in hard ware stores to let customers browse the different options. The box rocks back and forth when you put items in it.
Moose Bookmark
A holiday present for a fan of Moose, and reading. Copper moose, with brass mark. I used GIMP to shrink the moose down on all sides to give a pleasing border.
Steel Trident Headbadge
Made this for a client, came out pretty nice. It’s stainless steel so it should hold up for many years.

What I created:
Copper And Silver Box
I made this copper and silver box for someone a friend, it contains a roll of 50 reasons why I love them. On the inside and outside are crows, and dangling from a silver chain are two crow feathers. I picked the crows because I think they are smart intelligent and beautiful.
This was one of the more complicated pieces I have made, it came out better than I thought it would.
Silver Bike Chain Necklace
The middle links are silver, the outer links are real bike chain. Recreating silver bike chain parts takes forever, but looks classy.
