We get gifts from our customers time to time. It’s always a surprise when we get them and the most recent one was exceptional. It’s an “open” flag and flagpole!
This “Open” flag was made by Susan Clickner. Her website is at susanclicknerdesigns.com. Thanks Susan!
The flag is now in use – useful because our old “open” flag was falling apart and was about to be replaced. On good days the flag will be outside while on lousy days will be just outside the inner main door indoors.
We have added a new category to the CaseysWood.com website today: Pine Wood Car & Truck Bodies. All car or truck bodies are milled from 3/4″ clear pine wood. They all have 7/32″ holes, perfect for our axle pegs that’s for wheels with 1/4″ holes.
If you order them now, you should expect a slight delay of about 1 week because all are made to order, not kept in stock.
Pick out the one you like best then choose your favorite wood wheel with a 1/4″ hole. Select the axle peg based on the wheel you chose.
Have fun!
Got some scrapbook paper sitting around unused? Then get them on wood discs and make lovely magnets for your fridge!
You can paint or draw or even do wood burning (requires special tool) on the wood discs if you don’t want to use scrapbook paper. I personally have some old wallpaper on rolls that I might try adding to wood discs for fun.
This how to guide is made by Leanne at organizeyourstuffnow.com. Have fun looking thru it!

We have a new main page feature up and running. By playing around in the warehouse, I made a discovery… this bead wheel will fit this angel peg doll very well! It will also fit this other angel peg doll but not that well ( too tight and not really deep into the bead wheel). If you want a huge head, this 1-1/4″ wood dowel cap will work well. All 4 items are in the picture above this post… Have fun!
Came across this interesting article by Jaime Derringer at design milk on making lamps with blue painter’s tape and wood dowels. It looks fun and easy to do, especially during a boring rainy day. If your first one doesn’t work, just rip off the tape and try again!
I might give this a try because I personally own tons of blue painter’s tape for my boat painting projects. I also have lots of the same type tape in both yellow and green colors. You only need a saw and the saw you see in the article is a Japanese style pull saw which cuts only on the pull direction. It cuts better and nicer than traditional western style saws. More precise. I have one. Highly recommended for woodworking, even for little projects.
