pewter_mold.jpgpewter mold36 viewshunk of soapstone someone gave me (it was going in the trash otherwise, so how could I say no?). Cut in half, 30 seconds with a hacksaw. Use a forstner bit in the post drill to rough out the circle, followed by a very poor effort at carving a fleur-de-lis.dlarue

The pewter takes metal stamps quite well, so I guess it's time for some filing and decorating.dlarue

Made this in '98 after a big storm knocked down some trees. The handle is riven ash, the head is red oak. Back in the days before we had a digital camera you shot what you shot and hoped it was good.dlarue
