What Should I Do With An Old Axe Head?

While out walking with Wally and Gibbs one day I found an old rusty axe head. It was lodged between two trees when it caught my eye. I knew I wanted to clean it up but wasn’t’ sure what else to do with it. Then I watched a video of Uri and saw his amazing metal engraving skills. It inspired me to try to engrave the axe head! So in this video I clean it up, try some engraving, make a small handle, and then decorate it with some wood burning. I really enjoyed trying engraving for the first time!

Here is a link to Uri’s channel so you can check out his metal engraving work! Uri Tuchman

Matthew 3:10  (NCV)
The ax is now ready to cut down the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

I love to see what everyone is making!!!

Mother’s Day Gift

It’s Mother’s Day and I wanted to make something for my mom. Since I recently made a cowboy dad and son silhouette I thought it would be fun to do something with a mother and daughter silhouette. So I put together this gift for my mom. Happy Mother’s Day Mom!!!

Ezekiel 16:44 (NCV)

“‘Everyone who uses wise sayings will say this about you: “The daughter is like her mother.”

I had a suggestion to make a certain project for a Pinterest challenge, so I am trying that!!! The suggestion was to use a cowboy and son silhouette and make something.

*Wally was very ball crazy during the making of this video so I counted the times he brought me the ball to throw for him. You may want to skip the video from minute 2:00 to 2:39 while I am scrolling and throwing the ball. 🙂
