Wooden Bow-ties and Boutonnieres--Unique Gifts for the Groomsmen!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">John McDonald, or Johnny Mac, as his friends call him, is an innovative guy! I happen to know him because we sing in the choir at church together. So, why would I have him on my wedding blog? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEZkq6owZcbJJt2QxGgW2vPi4nxafRwJS1KVZEizSEumdiXA980JMVatap3rfanCzwXlnIhBEWPPtDSHol8fjhzQOkj_xAAFzsFMKdPJqZUORIfawEDzuzSwa15GfUGFERinYZk-K8EFU/s1600/IMG_1131.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEZkq6owZcbJJt2QxGgW2vPi4nxafRwJS1KVZEizSEumdiXA980JMVatap3rfanCzwXlnIhBEWPPtDSHol8fjhzQOkj_xAAFzsFMKdPJqZUORIfawEDzuzSwa15GfUGFERinYZk-K8EFU/s400/IMG_1131.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>John works at Xylem, Inc., a company which makes high-end custom cabinets and architectural millwork. He thought it was such a waste to throw away the scraps of fine wood they have left over and thought of some way to use them. So, he came up with wooden bow-ties and boutonnieres.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAKHOTQ18HGhyphenhyphenNPmAhDYx3qzaFjsX1gqFZ600yUCrLnYvMPcpLmS1RtkdxQG4bg2U5knhdnrMcJod58-B3lB5lnJqhTKLXpTKoLjSyEBSE7iJveERkvj8Es6sqORmjJG1gznsWiTCgK3c/s1600/IMG_1326.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAKHOTQ18HGhyphenhyphenNPmAhDYx3qzaFjsX1gqFZ600yUCrLnYvMPcpLmS1RtkdxQG4bg2U5knhdnrMcJod58-B3lB5lnJqhTKLXpTKoLjSyEBSE7iJveERkvj8Es6sqORmjJG1gznsWiTCgK3c/s400/IMG_1326.jpg" width="367" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">He even crafted a wooden top hat for St. Patrick's Day! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqSLPUYTnNW16wNyEVt1RN0mv1G5Gb_eNQYYQRRhic1yQnpRkX0ogBGMHO8H83OfYGgiwYHwmYhjovu8Bq3XwlnTbFRFwGl5KCeO1507u0vqHBK4N-rjUwRRzuqnXc-DwPQmrwxtI7hBc/s1600/IMG_1132.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqSLPUYTnNW16wNyEVt1RN0mv1G5Gb_eNQYYQRRhic1yQnpRkX0ogBGMHO8H83OfYGgiwYHwmYhjovu8Bq3XwlnTbFRFwGl5KCeO1507u0vqHBK4N-rjUwRRzuqnXc-DwPQmrwxtI7hBc/s640/IMG_1132.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>The bow-ties have a ring of elastic that slips over the head and under the collar. With another scrap he made a piece of wood that peeks out of the pocket like an handkerchief. I think these unique bow-ties and "hankies" are great gifts for the groom to give his guys for the wedding day!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuLQYfXYdwvX0T6qk5_-esxdMfKzJrqI51qwYshckhfQgpDD1og2sTMsdUE2gzibpnjtUlMT-vLn0zTYFJ4OrpTEq7N7UHrcc2pjpphyphenhyphenrGOB3V1EglyFu8lLB3G0gFwulGZ2xegXId_BM/s1600/IMG_1328.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuLQYfXYdwvX0T6qk5_-esxdMfKzJrqI51qwYshckhfQgpDD1og2sTMsdUE2gzibpnjtUlMT-vLn0zTYFJ4OrpTEq7N7UHrcc2pjpphyphenhyphenrGOB3V1EglyFu8lLB3G0gFwulGZ2xegXId_BM/s320/IMG_1328.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This St. Patrick's Day boutonniere attaches by way of a pin glued underneath. John can be reachead at <a href="mailto:jmcdonald49@gmail.com">jmcdonald49@gmail.com</a> and his phone number is 919 418-1732. I am sure he would be happy to show you some samples and custom make any of these items for you!<br /><br /><br />
