Kilt Pins in Wood

Beautiful work! I really like the FTL knot (what's that stand for? I have no idea)... and the key.

Thanks everyone,
I usually just think them up, but in some cases I might see something, like a skeleton key. I get on a "kick" until I get bored with it. As of now its keys. I am planning on making different styles of keys using different types and colors of wood. We'll see how that goes.
Thanks again.

Thanks,
FTL..From The Limb, it kind of like a signature, or logo if you will.
It is one of the few knots I do more than a few times.

Nice work, have you ever thought about making a cantle using wood?

Not until you just mentioned it..
I might have to try that, Thanks, I have yet another project to add to my list

Heres a few I just finished. I am trying to do one for every kilt I own ( yeah right, I could have stopped a long time ago ) These are done with flash, then without:
First up is one I called "Air" ( I am not sure why I name certain items the way I do, so you can ask...but the answer may change from time to time)

"Flame" :

"Harp" :

"Nessie" :

And the last one is one I try to do with every group, My FTL Knot:

Thanks for looking.

Very nice indeed well done.

"Air" looks like the current Olympic torch, the one carried by the runners.

"Flame" is really cool!

Um...do you sell these at all...?

A great marriage of creativity and craftsmanship. These should look particularly good with green-based 'hunting' tartans and day-wear tweeds. If you ever run out of inspiration, have a look at the Lindisfarne Gospels or the Book of Kells. Keep the pictures coming.
