RE: Some wooden bottles I made - 9/15/2010 7:41:02 AM    idigjars Posts: 1784 Joined: 12/24/2004 From: Michigan Status: offline Erik, you are so talented! 15 years old? You are very gifted. I love the wooden bottles you have produced, what great attention to detail. I really, really, like your fish, he looks fantastic. Did you spray him or brush paint him? My 13 year old Grandson and I joined a local woodcarving club and one of the members taught a class to make fish decoys. None that I saw turned out as nice as yours. Congratulations on your work and thank you very much for sharing all these pics with us. Paul Here is a link to our woodcarving club if anybody is interested. Best regards.

RE: Some wooden bottles I made - 9/16/2010 7:39:44 PM    Erik T   Posts: 119 Joined: 7/4/2010 From: Toronto Status: offline Thanks everyone! Yeah I think they look a bit better than the originals because you can see the embossing more clearly. I will try a ribbed/behive peppersauce if I find one in my travels It looks like it would be quite interesting to turn! I decided to learn how to use an airbrush this spring because I just couldn't get the blending of the colours by brush. Those woodcarving courses are great I actually did a fish decoy course last december and that started off my love of woodworking but I wanted to make fish that looked slightly more realistic. Thanks! I'm hooked on turning hutchinson bottles and soon I hope to do a few quart milks as well as case gins and meds! (in reply to idigjars) Post #: 42

Erik debuts wooden bottles at the Oct 16th Four Season'... - 10/17/2010 3:54:42 PM    Arob   Posts: 36 Joined: 11/24/2007 Status: offline Erik T himself was in the house last night at the Oct 16th Four Season's Bottle Collectors club general meeting! and so the legend begins... Everyone arrived at the Four Seasons Bottle Collectors club meeting on Oct 16th and saw the curious wooden soda bottle replicas on one of the display tables, and thought ' huh' that's weird...  And when we took off our coats and we looked around we saw a nervous young teenager sitting by himself ( with his mother) and we thought huh... that's kinda unusual. But i sure didnt connect the two things until such time as the Show and Tell portion of the event began... Erik presented himself and his passion / obsession with anything or everything relating to antique glass bottles, which includes carving them out of wood. When he told us that he 'd turned the wood himself, and the first was made from walnut that he'd selected... well..our jaws collectively dropped. Read about the whole event on Dumpdiggers, Erik T hand-carved wood antique bottle replicas debut at FSBC club meeting in Toronto. (in reply to Indianabottledigger) Post #: 44

How much are you selling these for?  Have you heard of Esty? Also, do you have a facebook page, as you can have Esty on your FB page and people can take orders. You can set up for free as long as you make your own goods and you can also sell some other vintage goods. I'll post the link for you. I have friends who now sell right from their facebook page and it works out very nicely.   Good Luck ~ star ~ _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9vBsIQ2_Ic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okKWzl3jCrM *´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.·' * Stardust.·´ (in reply to Erik T) Post #: 60
