Flowers made the wife cry
« on: February 14, 2013, 07:39:56 am »
Made these for my wife for Valentine?s Day. Found the pattern in the recent woodworking magazine and knew that these were the flowers I was going to give her. I usually don?t buy flowers on valentines because they are so much more money. I do buy them all year long for her though. Well when I gave them to her she cried. She thought they were the most beautiful thing ever. The flowers are made of blood wood and the leaves and stems are made of popular. Box is made of birch plywood and all finished with a coat of lacquer. The greenery is from Michaels. This was made to hang on the wall so she can see them every day. Thanks for looking and enjoy

What an excellent idea and presentation!  It is no wonder she cried when you gave them to her.  You did a great job on them.  Thanks for sharing them with us.

When you really think about it the store bought flowers and those beautiful ones you made both 'came from the earth'.
However the store bought ones only last a few days and yours will last forever!

Beautiful and very thoughtful gift!

Wow, beautiful flowers. I just made a cheesy little heart with our names on it. I will not be showing this to her.....

Now Pete it's the thought that counts!

 Anytime someone takes the time and effort to make something for me, it means so much more then anything they could buy.
