It was a very nice surprise when my friend Erunise came up to me and said she would like to do some woodwork together. She knew how much I like symbols and ancient writings so we combined that with her passion for Tolkien's tengwar writing.

The symbols we chose and their meanings are: Meleth - Love, Gwend - Friendship and Estel - Trust

Items needed:

Drilling machine

A small, cylindrical piece of wood

Sandpaper and optionally drill disk sander

Pyrography tool kit

How to make it:

1. Cut circular disks from the cylindrical piece of wood. I used a parts of a Christmas tree.





2. You should have 3 parts: earrings and necklace. The earrings parts should be cut down to a smaller dimension then the necklace.





3. Sand the parts with the sandpaper.





4. Write the symbols onto the wood with a pencil.





5. Burn the symbols onto the wood and add the leather string and metal parts.





6. Optionally you can create a beeswax coating. For this you would need beeswax.





7. Some technical benzine.





8. Put small pieces of wax inside a jar and pour benzine over it. The benzine melts the wax and it can be applied on the wood with a small brush. The benzine evaporates and leaves behind a nice wax coating.
