Here's a collection of bracelets that I've made for my girlfriend over the past several months. Clockwise from top left: Tulipwood, Osage Orange, Padauk, Kingwood, and Maple on the bottom.
Guys if your wife/girlfriend gets frustrated with you spending too much time in the shop, try turning one of these with the wood you don't plan on using. You'd be amazed with her reaction.
I'm so lucky to have a girlfriend that loves to turkey hunt and loves the fact that I made custom calls. She has several of my calls but like any other girl she loves the bling too. They are really easy to turn on a lathe and it's a great way to show your love too.

Great looking bracelets! Smart man. Now you need to sell a few to help out those of us who don't build them but spend too much money on them.........lol

Brian I can see your talent shining in those, I bet she is thrilled to have you in her corner! Here are some of my "you never make me anything" a few of the (550) crochet hooks and hair barrettes and a tooth made from elk antler for a dentist friend of mine....

Wow, impressive selection there pappy! I don't have the patience for carving, plus I'd probably stab myself.
Great looking bracelets!
