This project was created for my Grandmother who will celebrate her 90th birthday tomorrow (and I might add more active than most 70 year olds!). She has a couple very early bells that I made when I just got into piercing (using my Dremel tool) and when I asked her what she would like for her birthday, she said just make me something pretty. I think this should do. She has been a big part in my life and I would do almost anything for her.

Maple for the bell and padauk for the stem. Slightly below 1/8 thick on the bell walls. About 5-6 hours of piercing. Stands 8 3/4" tall and 2 3/4" wide at the bottom. Tung Oil Finish with Ren wax.

Hope I have to make her another one for her 100th! Love her to pieces.

Comment and complaints are welcome!
