Slab Table

 I have a friend who had some trees cut down in Seattle during his home renovation.  He saved a few slabs, and I made this one into a table for him.

Gavels - Acacia and Walnut

 These are gavels made of Acacia and Black Walnut.  

They were laser engraved for friends of mine as gifts.

 

 

 

 

 

14k Masonic Ring - My Ring

 

 This is one of the few items I have made for myself. 

 It is a shell from Scotland with the Square and Compasses insignia of the Freemasons set in 14k rose gold.

That little piece of wire is 14k gold solder, and it will be used to join the seam of the ring.

Next, file the shank down so it meets the bezel.

Four "chits' of solder to flow into the seal on the second bezel.

Ready to set the shell into the bezel.

Sterling, 14k, Topaz and Moostone Masonic Jewel - Ellensburg #39

This is a jewel made for a Past Master of Ellensburg #39 Masonic Lodge

 There was a time when it was common for the presiding officer for a fraternal organization to be presented with a 'jewel' or badge of office after the completion of his term.  I have a collection of these.  This is one I made for a friend and a member of my lodge, Ellensburg #39.

This custom has fallen away or has been replaced by purchasing a pin, likely stamped out of pot metal in china.  I think this is sort of a bummer.

This one was constructed from a vintage sterling spoon which bore the F&AM marks an gold from old and broken masonic lapel pins.  Sort of giving these old objects a new fraternal life.

Ellensburg 39 jewel - sterling and gold

This was my first attempt at a Masonic Jewel.  It is a Past Masters Jewel for Ellensburg #39, to be given to Ron Graham the Master in 2014.

Shiny objects are hard to photograph.
