What a weekend! I have made angles until I think I can now make them with my eyes closed! Dang that Nick Cook and his article anyway. Never let your wife page through your turning magazines. All together I made about 20 I think and out of those my wife pulled back 3 that she decided she could not part with.
The first one to the left is made from Ambrosia Quilted Maple and Brazilian Cherry, the middle one is Bloodwood and Narra and the one on the right is Black Walnut with Butternut. I played around with the shapes and sizes just a bit to see what I liked the best. I sure hope she don’t make me turn another angle for awhile!
This is my favorite thing this weekend. I picked up a box of Maple Burl. It is cut sections right off of the burl and then kiln dried. Most of it still has the bark on it so you know what I am going to try! Anyhow this stuff is fairly hard to turn as it is soft maple and tears and shows tool marks very easily. I made a simple form box just to show off the figure of the wood.
Let me know what you think!
