Flower Presses

Описание: Here's the first round of flower presses from a few weeks ago!

I have them set up as a custom order on the website

These are a fun thing to make. I love how they turn out!

Flower presses as requested by my wife and daughter. My first run of these I made for them and used plywood and wing nuts for them. I then decided I wanted to make nicer ones and thus these came to be.

I really tried to make them book matched but that wasn't working out. I had split the boards too thin and couldn't re surface to remove cupping.

The art work is drawn by my wife and burned on using my laser engraver

I hope in the future to offer different styles of thumb screws. Currently the stainless version on these brass ones are far to expensive.
