With a background in graphic design and the urge to create something new, Jen sketched a design for a coaster that she would love to see on the shelves of her favorite shop. With the help of some awesome people she was able to have her design protyped through laser cutting. After that, the ideas just keep flowing.<br /><br />By using modern manufacturing techniques, and a little elbow grease, peppersprouts is proud to offer an affordable, well designed product.<br /><br /><a href="http://shop.peppersproutdesigns.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542501818132939682" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ooKIGiCfITIdGDX961_gyQU6vV27gtcP_EDwwJdCu1mFp03cvlz_mBEPHyIOFJImib4iMiuf9SWlYZYHlZmCYTWNQtwjZCQ3MR5HYmXqabZMn36v4xYrknzZUpq3aQ-Tc5oFZqIZH5GU/s400/logo.gif" style="cursor: pointer; width: 197px; height: 73px;" /></a>

It grows in Malaysia, Borneo, and Sumatra and has the appearance of a straight grained wood with fine, even texture. Colors range from creamy-white sapwood and heartwood, maturing to a pale straw-yellow.<br /><br />It is light, soft, brittle, and weak with good stability in service, low decay resistance, and works easily with both hand and power tools.<br /><br />This type of wood planes to a nice, clean surface and glues, screws, and nails without difficulty. Stains, paints, and varnishes fairly well.<br /><br />It is popular for model making, patterns, wooden shoes, battery separators, and drawing boards. Also used for interior joinery and corestock for doors. Excellent wood for carving and sculpture due to its softness. Latex in the wood is extracted for chewing gum.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9J9DJ_OzCXiF3TMyXW2vKmLYem1lGV8qAh2zpXXOs8idTJRlMaQ53IPGI9kpm2GJlK1yBBqrgjM9RHizlwqdLnhigUFmxgFIq8QdLVgRxkxsqzkd9Qa0WgQkETWYxIfcYJwRB_KeUaWl4/s1600-h/Picture+29.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418898058250464658" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9J9DJ_OzCXiF3TMyXW2vKmLYem1lGV8qAh2zpXXOs8idTJRlMaQ53IPGI9kpm2GJlK1yBBqrgjM9RHizlwqdLnhigUFmxgFIq8QdLVgRxkxsqzkd9Qa0WgQkETWYxIfcYJwRB_KeUaWl4/s400/Picture+29.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 544px;" /></a><br />above: <strong>Ricky Swallow, Field Recordings</strong><br /><div class="caption"><p>Published by Craftsman House, 2005<br />Edited by Ashley Crawford<br />Text by Justin Paton<br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=iishish-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&m=amazon&f=ifr&md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&asins=0975196510" style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><br /><br />The artist at work and with his "Killer mask":<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgRODAFEnjW3PFszGxE23Zs8fJfBqHfPUTeEZzekfXK4ZIAv2wSXdY6z2NkIMOh38-rO_zASwrzHqd9LdJb4Wem9qhycKFZUmBnUnwfhatgsMqnz0rn9tfNxtLe_tWZEEAqTbu6LuTc4CA/s1600-h/ricky.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418921708996475074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgRODAFEnjW3PFszGxE23Zs8fJfBqHfPUTeEZzekfXK4ZIAv2wSXdY6z2NkIMOh38-rO_zASwrzHqd9LdJb4Wem9qhycKFZUmBnUnwfhatgsMqnz0rn9tfNxtLe_tWZEEAqTbu6LuTc4CA/s400/ricky.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 251px; height: 251px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwObsUwHkXfiwHnztb_8qSY9-ALlzWwa-ZZysh9gzSWH9DRlJNAxCAA65QHPI5-dtRf6CAp01yXlCI2OTL7dAlAUEFQVKK-PViEyr3jChyphenhyphenoGRRzrkOLqzSLudl8mpdjBrPb5o_xXuz67N2/s1600-h/rickyswallow.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418933718232640530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwObsUwHkXfiwHnztb_8qSY9-ALlzWwa-ZZysh9gzSWH9DRlJNAxCAA65QHPI5-dtRf6CAp01yXlCI2OTL7dAlAUEFQVKK-PViEyr3jChyphenhyphenoGRRzrkOLqzSLudl8mpdjBrPb5o_xXuz67N2/s400/rickyswallow.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 252px;" /></a><br />above left photo by Brett Cody Rogers, above right photo by Diana Panuccio<br /><br />Ricky now works and lives in Los Angeles and has several publications to his name and is represented by the following galleries:<br /><br />Modern Art<br />23/25 Eastcastle Street<br />London W1W 8DF<br />T +44 (0)20 7299 7950<br />F +44 (0)20 7299 7951<br /><a href="http://www.modernart.net/">www.modernart.net</a><br /><br />Marc Foxx<br />6150 Wilshire Blvd<br />Los Angeles, CA 90042<br />T +1 323 857 5571<br />F +1 323 857 5573<a href="http://%20www.marcfoxx.com/"><br /></a><a href="http://www.marcfoxx.com/">www.marcfoxx.com</a><br /><br />Darren Knight Gallery<br />840 Elizabeth Street, Waterloo NSW 2017<br />Sydney, Australia<br />T +61 2 9699 5353<br />F +61 2 9699 5254<br /><a href="http://www.darrenknightgallery.com/">www.darrenknightgallery.com</a><br /><br />Hamish McKay Gallery<br />1st Floor, 39 Ghuznee Street<br />Wellington New Zealand<br />T + 64 4 384 7140<br />F + 64 4 384 7142<br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.hamishmckaygallery.com">www.hamishmckaygallery.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/rickyswallow/"><br />Ricky Swallow is presently showing at the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia through February 2010</a></p>Speaking of wood carvings, don't forget to check out: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzwiAYV1xQGQDjgNFDPnTVPSkHUuvx0ZIvYg4evAPzyiEeCR8U6rXuyeNM6uNGO-E38VXnr7GmQcYAuZS5E_jrDs184lODqfhqZyCqWvsgAG6w0hkpyyigZ12_9r_59VpHyUQz8e7CWRra/s1600-h/Picture+7.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419398356593859170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzwiAYV1xQGQDjgNFDPnTVPSkHUuvx0ZIvYg4evAPzyiEeCR8U6rXuyeNM6uNGO-E38VXnr7GmQcYAuZS5E_jrDs184lODqfhqZyCqWvsgAG6w0hkpyyigZ12_9r_59VpHyUQz8e7CWRra/s400/Picture+7.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 516px;" /></a><p></p><a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2009/09/peter-rolfes-sculpted-wood-human-form.html">Peter Rolfe's Sculpted Wood Human Form Dressers here<br /></a></div>
