Horse Head Letter Opener
« on: September 12, 2010, 11:28:43 pm »
Here is a letter opener I made for selling at a horse show my daughter will be at in October:

Horse Head:  Dirk Boelman, Creative Woodworks & Crafts, Nov. 2004, p. 36
Letter Opener bottom:  Sue Mey, Holiday Ornaments, Toys & Gifts Vol. 2, (SSW&C), p. 84
Length:  9" long
Wood:  Ipe (I think.  It did smell when cutting.)
Finish: none, yet?  (sanded with a flutter wheel 120 grit)

looks great.
I don't know the dutch translation jet for Ipe, but I think it's a nice dark wood you got there.
