Collectors Thimbles

Mahogany and Sycamore Chequered

This thimble has no less than 60 strips of wood required to be assembled together to make the blank assembly to produce this work of art. Ron cuts and makes his own strips of Mahogany and Sycamore for this thimble. A very exacting task in itself.

Celtic Knot Thimble.

To say that there are only 5 pieces of wood in this thimble does nothing for the detailed work in the actual thimble. From cutting his own Mahogany veneer, glueing the thimble blank up no less than 4 times is just the start of making this beautiful work of art.

Mahogany and Sycamore Steps

Again, in this Thimble Ron has shown us just what can be done with glueing strips of wood together, and the wonderful effects attainable. Ron's thimble making method just continually produces these beautiful thimbles. Each a work of art.

Celtic Cross

In making this thimbles Ron has to start with making his own Ramin dowelling, and then after starting turning the thimble, he drills the holes to insert the Ramin, and then remounts his thimble on his lathe to complete the finished thimble.

Christmas Gold Thimble

This thimble has those rich colour of Christmas with added 'gold powder' just to add to the wonderful richness of this thimble.

Lime Crush Thimble

The vibrant green of this thimble is truely reminisiant of fresh limes..

Pink Ribbons

By mixing the colours in two completly different ways, and then adding the two mixtures together Dermot has made these unique thimbles. No two will ever be the same, and the design in the thimble changes on each turn.

Pink and Blue

These two colours being mixed together on the one thimble allows the collector to turn it around to change the appearance at each turn.

Strawberry Crush

The colour of this thimble gives it its name.

Autumn Fruits Thimble

Again, Dermot has used his imagination to mix colours to give this unique thimble.

Stormy Sky Thimble

A truely inspired mixture of colours give this thimble a beautiful appearance, which is just enhanced by its silky smooth finish.

Orange Crush Thimble

The colour of this thimble is such that you could imagine that you could smell the colour of the oranges it gets its name from.

We are pleased to be able to introduce to the thimble collector a range of Acrylic thimbles made locally here in Girvan by
Dermot Forte, and a range of wooden thimbls made in Mahogany, Ramin and Sycamore by Ron Palmer.
Both of these series of thimbles are all very much hand made, with Dermot mixing his Acrylic colours by hand as the
material is setting to get the effect he is aiming for. While, Ron on the other hand is working to very fine tolerances with his choice of woods to be able to repeat his designs as required.
