flarud Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) These are not my favorite things to post - Memorials. My Brother-In-Law passed away a couple of years ago. Some of you may remember a post I made of a little wooden truck that I put some of his ashes in to give to his adult son. (I'll include a pic of it). Well for my BIL's 19 year old grandson I made this. It is made from a limb off an Oak tree. I drilled a small hole in it and put in some ashes, plugged it up and cleared over it. The plug was intentionally placed with the grain at an angle to be able to see it better. Then the heart was placed around it. My sister wanted my to put my stamp on the "Tire Knocker" but with it being round, I could not get it to stamp good enough. So I used a scrap piece from the limb and stamp it and attached with some boot lace. I decided afterwards to make the wall holder.. not sure if he will use it or if he will place it in his Jeep. My sister wanted me to stamp my logo on the front center of the wall holder,, I didn't want to, but she's the boss. The grandson called his grand dad Papaw so Don made me a pattern. To bad that I screwed up Don's pattern! I wanted the name to be a bit rustic so I used a spiral blade instead of a flat blade thinking it would give the cut a little different look. But to me it looks like a 10 year old cut out the name. Edited May 25, 2023 by flarud jollyred, ChelCass, RabidAlien and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I figured if the grandson ever got into a pickle,, he could use the "Tire Knocker" and have his Papaw right there with him to help thwart off the attacker!
