Sure I can but it takes time since I have no patterns to go with so I have to make my own before I start construction on these little babies. They are hand carved and turned. Do you wany one Charlee?

It usually takes about a month to complete a piece sometimes longer depends on the piece. The staining and the finish is the key to making it look real. Thank you grayhare.

OMG!!!! I'm in LOVE...with that mini sofa. Glenn, your work is stunning!!! That charcoal gray sofa is GORGEOUS!!!
I'll take two, one mini and one regular size. They will look lovely in my future sewing studio that I'm always dreaming about.
Stupendous work!!!

Nancy,
I'm coming up for air for a few minutes. Moving is the pits!!!!
I agree with Candace completely. Most of the old Elnas (prior to the Star series) will have a flat spot on the motor pulley if they have been sitting for any length of time. In the trade the noise they make is called the 'Elna growl'. The fact that the noise has a name tells you just how common it is. If you find one and have to have it, I can resurface or replace the pulley as I have the tool to do it. I personally resurface anytime I can, as it is so much easier than the replacement.
OK, going back into hiding and packing,
Cathy

I'd bet taking an Elna to Ray's class would be good too?
