Spalted Maple Wooden Egg Kaleidoscope With Stand
Wooden Kaleidoscope Egg is made from spalted Maple with a decorative gold stand. Looking through the eyepiece and turning the egg gives you an ever changing colorful image. Handcrafted with great care on my lathe, by me to be a unique creation. The specific shape of the body was determined by my own imagination. Each egg is sanded and polished, then I apply a food safe Walnut Oil and Beeswax finish that I make in my shop. The result is a polished surface, safe for children to handle and eco-friendly. Egg itself is approximately 2.5" in length. With the stand the kaleidoscope is approximately 4.5" tall. Each egg is unique and yours will be special. Your Kaleidoscope will be shipped Priority Mail in the U.S. .

For Wedding Bride And Groom Toasting Flutes - Walnut Stems5.0I could not be happier with my experience working with Mike. I contacted him asking for a custom order and he was extremely helpful in finding me exactly what I was looking for in order to create a personal and meaningful engagement gift. He found the exact wood I was looking for and used it to create stunning toasting flutes. Thanks so much Mike!!

For Wedding Bride And Groom Toasting Flutes - Walnut Stems5.0Mike was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. He was able to make the toasting flutes with Koa wood at my request to match the grooms' rings & love for Koa wood. He was also able to make a cake & knife server set using the Koa wood. My friends received many compliments on the uniqueness and quality craftmanship of their flutes & server set. If I could post photos from the wedding photographer, I would! I recommend Mike and would work with him again!

For Koa And Crystal Wedding Toasting Flutes1.7Were it possible to give this Maker Zero stars I would. I ordered and paid for these Toasting Flutes in good faith for my sisters wedding in Hawaii as a decor focal point, and as a precious keepsake for her and her Fiance. After submitting the information to the Maker to be engraved on the Flutes, which should have been the Bride and Grooms names as well as the date, the Maker misspelled their names in a message to me. I corrected this to him as is documented in another message. In fact, I corrected him twice because of this and actually verified a third time that he check the spelling prior to engraving to ensure the names were spelled correctly. He confirmed in a message to me that he checked the spelling. Well, the flutes arrived today- with BOTH names misspelled. Unbelievable. The wedding is in a week, and I have no way to find a replacement at this point. I am not some crazy customer venting-I have documentation of every message I have had with this Maker. Not that the spelling would have even mattered after all, because In addition, upon receipt one of the flute wood bases was completely broken because of the way he packed it for shipping. There was literally NO padding, nor padded wrapping of the flutes in the big usps box. No padding sitting on top or bottom of the flutes. Of course they are going to break! What kind of craftsman who takes pride in his work, would ship a precious item in this shoddy fashion? They wouldn't of course- Do not order from this Maker. -Disappointed and Disgusted

For Wedding Bride And Groom Toasting Flutes - Walnut Stems5.0Wedding Bride and Groom Toasting flutes for my daughter and soon-to-be son. Their wedding is in September 2013, she wanted something unique that no else would have. So when I showed her the picture, she said those were the ones for them. The whole experience from beginning to end was great. Gave them as a birthday present to her fiancee and he loved them! Pure professionalism and quality! Would recommend "The Wooden Quill, Lic" to everyone interested in what he creates...Thank you, Mike

For beer tap made out of wood or metal5.0Even though I was not certain as to what I wanted from Mike, he showed me the options and guided me through the woodworking process. Mike sent me pictures of the project's progress, was very communicative, finished on time, and shipped the final product securely. The final outcome exceeded my expectations and made my friends (recipients of Mike's work) very happy. I would work with Mike again and recommend him to friends.
