A Bit of Braggin'

[Pappy]

Last weekend Ginger said she was a bit apprehensive of using the mini turning set that I got her with her lathe. I chucked up a pice of Mahogany and told her to just play with them to get the feel of how they cut.

After she got the feel of the chisels, this is what she 'found' in the wood. It parted of when she cut the finial, so I will use a screw shaft in the base to mount it in the DP for the final sanding. She is too critical of it,IMO, and I think it came out great.

It will be a bedside lamp for the granddaughter's Barbie house after it is painted.

Nice! I see natural talent bubbling to the surface in that piece.
