Welcome to the forum gandy, your pics got caught in the spam trap, it will leave you alone after a few posts.

Certainly a subject we haven't seen before.

 

[gandy]

i did wonder why they didnt show up, hehe, i thought it would be something non of you have seen before, but its what i do, and i learn a "living" off doing it, while im sure most have seen kids with big lobe piercings its something much deeper than just looks to me, i have a fair few other parts pierced but we wont go into that hehehe

Hi Andy,

Welcome to the forum.

Not my scene at all piercing but each to his own. Welcome to the forum, the turning looks good. I guess you need to be careful what woods you use as well as finishes.

hello and welcome gandy

theres a couple of members on here with earplugs- I helped sort some bogoak wood out for a member a few weeks ago, he was going to make some plugs with it.

yes indeed, is why i asked about where i can get african ebony, as for finishes is just sand, and then oil with vitamin e oil, and if asked for the front and back waxed with bees wax.

Hello and welcome Grandy! my daughter has a stretched earlobe piercing and suggested I make some, but I don't really fancy doing jewelry at this point.
Yours look good! and are a bit different to the normal things on here!
Nice! =D>

P.S I can just see Chas with a nice 4 inch tube! :lol: :lol:

if you ever do i could tell you what woods are ok to use, and what ones are a huge no no but their a walk in the park to make, some just take a little time like the inlayed ones

Hi Andy ....
been up to by armpits in learning a new job, so haven't got 'on' much in recent weeks ... but 'Hello & welcome' .... brilliant to see you here

 

[wizer]

Welcome Andy. I don't have a stretched ear lobe but of all the piercings, I quite like the look of them. If I was younger and not married I'd probably indulge I'm too busy ruining my body with tattoos

 

[gandy]

nah your never to old to get started with piercings.

 

[wizer]

yebbut no age limits on divorce
