Lathe Life Creations - Western Cedar - Gold Trim - Navigator Style

Created Exclusively for Occoneechee Council Endowment Reception by Gayle Akerman

Carved from Western Cedar harvested deep within Philmont Scout Ranch, this Navigator-style writing instrument carriers the quiet majesty of the backcountry in every line it writes. Its warm grain, shaped by wind, altitude, and time, makes each pen a pne-of-a-kind heriloom - crafted exclusively by Lathe Life Creations.

This is more than a pen. Its a piece of Philmont itself. A reminder of crisp mornings at Base Camp, the scent of cedar on the trail, and the spirit of every Scout who has ever answered the call of the mountains.

Presented with a Certificate of Authenticity verifying its origin and harvest location, this fine instrument will be the envy of Scout Leaders everywhere - those who have trekked the rugged miles and those who still dream of the Tooth of Time rising in the distance.

Lathe Life Creations - Handcrafted Chess Board/Charcuterie Board - Walnut-Maple-Cherry

From the studios of Lathe Life Creations comes a handcrafted chess board that reflects both mastery and legacy. Created by retired Scout Executive John Akerman, this 12x12 inch board is a study in precision and tradition.

The playing field is built from Maple and Walnut, thier contrasting tones forming crisp, elegant square, while a Cherry wood trim frames the board with warmth and richness. Every edge, every surface, every detail carries the steady hand of an artisan who began his creative journey carving neckerchief slides for Scouts.

The accompanying chessman - each one hand-cast in resin by artisan Gayle Akerman - complete the set with character and individuality. Together, board and pieces form a timeless heirloom, crafted with the same care, patience, and devotion that define a lifetime of Scouting.
