Promised updates

So I promised pictures of the brand and the projects I've marked with it.  I haven't taken pictures of everything yet but here are some of them.  

The iron itself (lego man looks impressed)



The brand head (lego man says hello)



Part of my test block


And a brand on one of my projects



Now some of my projects, this first one is a nameplate I made for my co-counselor.  She is a Spanish teacher and wanted a sign for her desk. 






You can see my 'work bench' aka desk in the background of the pictures.  


This next one is actually the second box I ever made but I only just finished it recently.  I have had a love-hate relationship with this box ever since I began cutting it, but I'm actually quite happy with how it turned out in the end.  








I made a photo background for these out of a sheet of matt board.


This is the last one for this post and was the result of a burst of inspiration.  Last summer when I was working in the woodshop at camp, I made two boxes to be raffled off at the International Children's Festival, and when I looked at the block of wood I made this from, I noticed the large knott looked just like an eye.  So that is what I made.  








I managed to get it back on loan from the raffle winner so I could brand and photograph it.  

I still have several boxes to brand and photograph, and 3 boxes that need to be finished, so expect future picture updates.
