I finally got some made. The top one and the one on the right are cherry with BLO and deft. The left one is cherry with just Deft and the bottom one is ash with lacquer. Two others were claimed by my daughter and grandson(6yrs). These will be my last for a while due to ANOTHER stupid run in with my bandsaw, it won again. I have been ordered....ORDERED.... by LOML to stay away from anything that is made to cut for a few days.
Sorry to hear about the bandsaw smoky, maybe you need some of those chainmail laced "swimming with sharks" kind of gloves!
The bracelets look real good, I like the one with the burned lines and the quad beading the best. With all you guys making them and all the woods we have access to, we could supply a ton of boutiques!
Two bandsaw tips I use: 1. paint a red line from the blade to the front of the table. This is the 'no flesh zone'. 2. Always try to hook a pinkie on each hand under the table. This will stop your hands from getting close to the blade. (Oh yeah, pushsticks too).
