AUGUST 02, 2020What to give SWMBO for our 50th Anniversary?For those that watch or have wives that watch The Bachelor or Bachelorette show knows about the rose ceremony where the chosen are given a rose. Keep that thought.One day I was watching YouTube videos and came across one that showed how to make a rose out of copper. That gave me an idea for a gift for my wife of 50 years.So I decided that I would make a vase with the the number 50 on it. The container part was made with Oak and Sapele. The base was cumaru. The numbers were cut out of oak and glued on then rounded over with carving chisels.Finished with Watco Danish Oil.I then made the rose. It's made from some scraps of copper pipe I had laying around.I then added the stem (grounding wire) and some leaves..Then put the two together . and SWMBO liked it so it earned me lots of points.Hoped you enjoyed the short story.Comments and favorites welcomed and appreciated.Thanks for looking.
