Title: STRESS
Post by: georg on December 07, 2016, 09:03:14 PM

  This is something you might be interested in making the Chef for Christmas Days Dinner :)
  Some years ago I was asked by a friend to make a stress gauge for his partner who found this time of year very stressful.
  He mentioned Spinal Tap the volume always above 10, so this is  our interpretation of the discussion , the original
  can be seen on our web site under oddities .

  1st pic.. The wood used is Spalted Walnut it stands 13" high and finished with Danish Oil
  2nd pic.. Tony is Scrat and sat at the top because me Scratte causes him too much Stress ::)
  3rd pic .. BHT comes to mind with this pic

I must lead a sheltered life because I have never seen one of these before!

                                    Thank You .. Les..... Lazurus....and BHT

  Rushed it a bid so we could post this  Fun / Quirky  idea for Christmas Presents , it can be done with many twists
  such as smaller shelves as you work your way to the top.... could even be done in white as a replacement Christmas
  Tree.

  John ... The one thing I could not get right was your chin...... :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
     
       Kind Regards Tony d

I like it quirky.

 I could do with one at the moment while I make a intarsia wooden chicken, I think I would be near the top.

I think I'd suffer thew stress, trying to turn it!

But as an item to display small trinkets, it really stands out as something different.
