1950 coin dish - walnut wood

I was asked recently by Jean of Talking Beads if dad could make her a special wooden dish for her brother's 60th birthday.  She wanted a small coin dish with a 1950 coin set into the bottom.  Dad hasn't been well recently so I wasn't sure if he wanted to take on a commission but he said yes and we discussed dimensions.

Dad found a piece of walnut in his workshop & we found a 1950 halfpenny in a box of old coins that Nick remembered he had.

My dad is an absolute perfectionist and the little coin dish he made is just beautiful.

I know Jean likes it because she's posted that she does on the Misi forum!

    I really love the dish Karen and I am so glad you blogged about it as I did not have a link I could put up and the pictures I took did not do it justice.
