As a wood worker, I am constantly trying to think of ways to grow and practice my skills. Just recently I was hanging out with my folks and my mom was sitting on the couch finishing up a quilt and I examined the patterns on some of the fabrics she used and then it hit me! Why couldn't I look at the natural patterns and colors in my wood stocks the same way that she looks at patterns and colors in her fabric? Why couldn't I make the same blocks that she's making in my own medium?
These quilters clappers have been hand crafted with a variety of wood species, all with naturally occurring colors! No stains or dye are used in their making!
Each clapper has been weighted to create a wonderfully hefty tool that can be used for many different applications such as holding down templates for tracing or keeping piles of blocks in place, as well as its standard application to create perfectly flat seams!
Each clapper is approximately 12x2.5x1" unless marked, and the wood combinations can be found below.
