Never having been been near a wood lathe before and after watching Bruce only briefly, I was determined to full teach myself.<\/p>\n<p>2 &amp; 3) Probably 1-3 months into use of the lathe. The beginning of the &#8220;Turn of the Century&#8221; style.<\/p>\n<p>3) Customers talked me into pointing the hook tip for smoother operation. I always carried yarn for them to try the hooks.<\/p>\n<p>4 &amp; 5) From the mid 70s. Turn of the Century designed evolved but not refined. Still doing the California &#8220;scrunch-em-up&#8221; method of packing as much design in the space as possible.<\/p>\n<p>6-11) Current from stock production. Sizes F-K.The woods: F-Brazilian Tulipwood, G-Cocobolo, H-Bocote, I-Purpleheart, J-Brazilian Rosewood, K-Vermillion. I use exotic woods for these for strength and appearance. Exception: Osage Orange.<\/p>\n<p>12-14) Rug hooks. The woods: N-Black Walnut, P-Red Oak, Q-Hard Maple. Also available in S and 13 mm sizes. I use domestic woods for the rug hooks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2001 Crochet Guild of America commemorative hook<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lacebuttons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/CGOA-comm-hook-2001-800px.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3702\" title=\"CGOA commemorative crochet hook 2001\" src=\"http:\/\/lacebuttons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/CGOA-comm-hook-2001-800px.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lacebuttons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/CGOA-comm-hook-2001-800px.jpg 800w, https:\/\/lacebuttons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/CGOA-comm-hook-2001-800px-300x48.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
