Hello everyone. I am new to the site......have been lurking around for quite a while I just wanted to post a few pictures of some thing that I have been working on. Here goes.
The first few pictures are of some ash handles that I made for the hollowing tools that I got from fellow creeker and new friend, Jeff Nicol, or as I like to call him, Obi-Wan Kenobi. He has been my mentor in these early days of my new hobby. Thanks Jeff.
The next few pictures are a couple of small birdhouses that I made. The bodies are red cedar. One has a black walnut cap and lower finial, and the other has an ash cap and a hard maple lower finial. The are fun to make. The next picture is a small bowl made of spalted birch with a piece of black cherry in the bottom to repair a part of the bowl that was extremely punky.
And finally, pictures of my first green turned rough bowl. I got this chunk of cherry from another creeker, Greg Haugen. He came to do a demo back in March for our club, the Chippewa Valley Woodturners Guild. Thanks Greg.
Sorry about the quality of the photos.....the photo studio has not been assembled yet.
Comments welcome.
