Dave has handcrafted this 2 5/8 inch tatting shuttle from Strata-Bond, which is layers of birch wood that have been resin impregnated and bonded together under high pressure. It is very dense and moisture resistant and has no varnish, shellac, wax or other type finish to wear away. It has only been fine sanded and buffed to a gloss finish. He has burn etched a rose design on one side.
A selection of decorative mirrors, small and compact making them ideal to slip into a pocket or handbag.
Sometime back we fitted new wooden blinds in our house and we ended up with slats left over. Since we often like to “re-purpose” things we find, Dave made some lightweight tatting shuttles out of the extra blinds.
This shuttle is 3 1/4 inches long by 1 1/8 inch wide and 1/8 inch thick, and has been adorned with a graceful Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly using pyrography (burn etching). Beeswax was used to finish each shuttle.

This antique pipe rack from 1910 is an excellent example of pyrography, the art of wood burning, also known as Flemish art or poker work. The hanging stand was made from a kit by Golde. It features a rack for six pipes and is decorated with a picture of a man smoking a cigar. On the back is a stamp that says Pyro-Art Wood with Golde in the middle, plus the wood-burned signature Maron 19, 1910.

Patterns are all around us: these pre-computing designs in a post-internet world are proven timeless in their shared algorithmic origins. In Slow Burn – meaning a state of slowly mounting anger or annoyance – the burning tool used to engrave its border patterns mimics the woven designs at its center. Only a steady and consistent pace achieved this ornamentation, a metaphor for remaining patient and steadfast in times of uncertainty; the ‘slow burn’ felt collectively is similar to working against the (wood) grain.
Plucking this chain-like motif from the borders of my childhood kilim – ‘breaking’ it – to weave a spiral at the heart of this piece, I create new metaphors for remembering that with hardship there is ease (“taking breaks” to avoid “breakdowns”).
