Red and gold centerpiece by Aggie Ross

Beginnings…
Aggie Ross learned the tradition of making centerpieces as a young girl in her native Poland, working at her mother’s side.

She made her first topiary in 1990, using mosses and other naturals that were collected from the forest near her family’s summer home north of Warsaw.

Here is a little project that I did recently. It’s marking gauge used for marking cut lines for dove tails and tenons. I made it from poplar. It’s based on the Hamilton marking gauge.

Marking gauge, poplar and steel

The blade is made from an old corner bracket that I had laying around.
