I got the opportunity to play on the lathe today... it's been a while. Traveling a lot for work and working on the house...
First is a box made from the wood that I picked up in Phoenix when I met Bill Meyers. We've both forgot what it was called, but is nice to turn. I'd also wanted to do a KW George style finial, so I made one from Honey Locust... I like the look
I received two cedar logs that were about 10' long and 12 to 15 inches in diameter. They had been in a barn for nearly 10 years! Got some of it cut and split and made this candle holder.
And last but not least, a little vase from a piece of Ash that was saved from a burn pile about a year ago. I left it outside with some other wood (i.e. not covered) and it started spalting... I like the bug holes too
Working on some book shelves that I should have done sometime soon... I'll get 'em posted when I get them done.
Later y'all
