Gear Decor

MimiToria writes: Marge-
I'm glad you posted, I couldn't remember the name of your shop. Sorry! I just love my gear I bought from you, and thanks about the wall color. It is our cabin and the former owner was a Harley fan, thus the color. It is being used with black/brown and other warm colors to tone it down. Such a great paint job, I couldn't hardly change it, but decided to learn to love it and it does add a lot of warmth.
Welcome to the site, I hadn't noticed your posting before.

I was looking through all the great creations and found your gear wall display with the sand cast gear patterns.The wall color is awesome! It really lets the beauty of the gear patterns pop.
I am down to my last 20 patterns for sale at Yesterdays Charm.
I will be sad to see them go.Not only are they great art,When they are all sold and no longer out in the public circulation,We will have closed a chapter in history.
Thanks for keeping a part of their history alive.

Be well,

Look in the books Sue wrote, as she has several shown in her books from her home and how she displays them. I love the ones she has on her magnificant fireplace.
This whole wheel is wood, it isn't metal at all. Is yours metal? Mine is very light weight, kind of like what driftwood is typically like. Posted: 5:00 pm on September 24th

CottageElements writes: Hi, Gretchen. I picked one of these up at the Bonanza. It has a wood piece on the back of it. Never heard them called a wheel cog, until Julie told me that's what they were called. Haven't done anything with it yet. Maybe I need a few more, don't ya think?

MimiToria writes: Thanks guys! Georgiamoon, next time you're in MN you'll have to head over to Buffalo to a shop that carries these. There is an older guy that is selling them off through consignment and they were used locally to make gears in the olden days. They are great fun! My friend bought 3 for a grouping, but has a larger house to display them in. Sue's are awesome in her house, from the photos I've recently been looking at now that I'm active on this website. Didn't notice them in the past when I went through the books. It amazes me what I miss, and then notice another time.
Christy, were these in a shop downstairs as well as going up the stairways? If so, mine is from the same shop. The name has slipped my mind, but if anyone is interested I could find out the name for sure. Posted: 3:25 pm on September 24th

georgiamoon writes: We don't have gear molds here in California...as far as I can tell anyway, I've never seen one for sale. But I'd buy one if I did. I LOVE them. Sue owns the mother of them all I think... It is a sight to behold. Love seeing all your posts, Geo Posted: 3:20 pm on September 24th
