Ok. Â Perhaps not a full-blown extravaganza, but I've been doing quite a few custom beer tap handles lately. Â The most recent is a 747-400 inspired handle for a member of The Pilot Network. Â

This tap handle was a lot of fun to carve. Â The customer provided a turn radius diagram from the flight manual and let me have at it. Â The customer also asked to have Boeing and 747-400F carved down the sides. Â It was a two-day carve and I'm quite pleased with the results.

Â

There are several other projects going on in the shop right now, some for customers and some for the kids. Â I finished the stable for the Nativity. Â I'll upload some photos of it this weekend when we set it up to begin celebrating Advent. Â
Â
We got an old fire bell from my wife's parents' house. Â My boys like to ring it for no apparent reason. Â My father-in-law apparently likes to paint it. Â I must have taken four of five layers of different colored paint off of it before reapplying some nice fire-station red I just happened to have laying around.
Â
I'm also working on another helmet display stand. Â I don't have a specific formula for how I make these, so each one is unique. Â There's some really interesting wood grain on the vertical support piece. Â I'll upload some photos of that one when it's done. Â

Thanks for reading!
