Description of work

A firm enquired about some Round Tuits in the shape of a paperweight (presumably to put on top of a pile of paper, waiting for someone to get A Round Tuit). I made these as possible shapes. Any variation is possible - different wood, different shape, different writing.

Because some of the timber is a little light for its purpose as a paperweight, I took out some of the inside, filled with a metal weight, then resealed the base with a wooden plug to hide the metal. This gives the piece a more satisfactory weight.
