Pink Ivory wood; glass fibre whiskers (2005)
Dimensions 6.5″long x 4″high x 3.25″wide.
Yes, it is all turned. Can you figure out how?
A couple more photos:
In 2016 I made a new pierced mouse, Souris sans Sourire. Dimensions are similar to Lacemouse, but the body is birch, and the piercing pattern is different and more open.
An unpierced variation on Lacemouse is Flowermouse:
Flowermouse does not have much body piercing, but does have a pierced ear for his/her sterling silver earring. Larger images with details of the above two mice may be seen in Galleries #2 and #3
Several woodturners who have attended my demonstrations have been inspired to make unpierced mice of their own for children or grandchildren. Gordon Marshall in Nova Scotia has even made a segmented mouse.
In 2025 I decided to make a final Lacemouse. I named it Ultimate Lacemouse, and for the first time turned it without the ears, and added them afterwards. This was easier and gave a better form than all previous ones. See Galleries 2,3 and 4 for larger images.
