The Wren’s Roost

Or maybe you prefer one of our random woods cigar caddy. We make them with whatever wood we have in the shop. There is no set design.

You have someone in your life that likes a smooth bourbon and a fine cigar, but has everything? Are they impossible to buy for?

Check out our liquor caddy. We make them in solid pieces of wood as well as various random woods.

We can laser etch the slate coaster with most anything as long as it is not trademarked or have a copy write.

This one is a single piece of black walnut.

We have a week long vend coming up. It’s hard to get people to come into your space, much less make a purchase. We always take a bunch of old time candy machines with us and usually set one up with M&M’s.

I can’t ever leave well enough alone, so I made one very over sized with a 1/2 gallon mason jar for next weeks event. 🤣🤣🤣

We keep getting asked if peanut M&M’s will fit in our candy machines. So I made bigger slides today that will fit them. Going to finish these up and give them a try at our next show.

This one really caught my eye. 🥰

The rolling pin gnomes have been busy lately making your holiday rolling pins.

A couple of magnetic bottle openers I am working on to take to our event in Gatlinburg. These are proofs. I’ll get the edges rounded over and sealed

I will be vending at the Craftman Fair in Gatlinburg Tn October 22-28. Come see me. We will have a full booth for you.

I have not been in the shop much for the last three weeks. Guess I will let y'all know where I have been and why I have not posted anything lately. I am copying this from my personal page. I am finally back in the shop, but severely behind on making everything for this holiday shopping season. Glad to be back in the shop making man glitter!!!

Three weeks ago this past Saturday I cut the grass in our field. It is about 12 acres. The next morning my jaw hurt. It progressively got more painful. It got to the point I made a dentist appointment and they took X-rays. Two dentists looked and were stumped as to why I was in so much pain. Sent me home with some mouthwash that numbs for a short period. Couple days later I had an appointment with my primary care doc. Stumped there too. Got sent home with some muscle relaxers and a broad spectrum antibiotic. Later that night the unrelenting pain sent me to the ER. Where they were stumped too, but did an injection of a hi dose pain killer and I caught about 4 hours of relief before the pain started back. I was well into week 2 at this point.
I started feeling what felt like a blister on the inside of my jaw where your wisdom teeth would be It kept getting bigger and more painful.
I finally got a referral for an oral surgeon. He took more X-rays and had a cool device that took 3D X-rays that he could manipulate on his computer. He found a fragment of bone that he referred to as “sluffing off”. Made an appointment to do the surgery to remove the bone and to sand down the place the bone fragment came from.
A few days ago the blister feeling place pretty much disappeared and I felt something hard in its place with my tongue. It kept getting bigger. And you know how your tongue is, the tiniest thing in your mouth feels 1000x bigger than it is. I’ve been picking at that place for days. Saturday morning I finally got a fingernail under an edge of the hard spot and I could feel it move. Dug back in again and felt the hard spot rotate in my gum line. Finally it dropped off into my mouth and I spit it out. Turns out the bone fragment worked its way out of the side of my gum. Instant pain reliever.
Took a pic of it on a penny for size.
