Helping a brother out... Missionary Strikers

[Gooserbat]

Now you who know me know I'm not the guy who goes around shouting my religion from the house tops.  I'm the guy who chooses to be a living example.  Any way recently I have had an opportunity to help a Christian Brother in Mexico (Noe) through the means of a missionary friend of mine, who coincidentally is a turkey hunter.  Long story short the gentleman in Mexico is in a very poor area and is a woodworker.  He has a lath and access to an abundance of exotic woods.  Strikers being easy to turn were an instant idea as a way to help him out.  This is the first trial run.  All are turned with a very true 5/16 stem.  He does a excellent job on these.

And I will stress I'm not taking a single cent on these strikers.  All money goes to Bro Noe in Mexico.


In order from left to right:
