Bellows
« on: April 04, 2013, 05:35:54 pm »
I made this fully functioning fireplace bellows for a friend to use in his fishing cabin.  It is made of  eastern red cedar  and soft maple inlay with leather and a brass nozzle. 18" long 6" wide. I have made fifty bellows over the past 30 years but this is the first one I did an inlay in. (Will not be my last)

That is impressive Jim!  Do you use a valve, or does in draw and blow from the end?
