Fun turning projects

[Jason Clark2]

I was grilling over the weekend and got inspired to try something a little different. I've worked on these the last 3 nights, just having fun spending some time in the shop.

The hamburger is a bun made from Ficus, the patty is Walnut that has been textured, the tomatoes are Padauk, and the onions are Holly.

The hot dog is Sapele with a Curly Poplar bun.

Thanks,
Jason

Clever. Very clever. I like it. So what do you do with them now? Table center pieces when you have people over for grilled dinner in the backyard?

Those are really original, you must have had a lot of fun making them.

And they even came with MUSTARD.
I can picture your grin from here.:D
Nice work.

Definately "food" for thought! Nice work.

[John W Dixon]

I can smell them from here. Very cool idea and nicely done!

Hi Jason,
Tough to come up with an original idea...
you did it in spades!
Too cool!

Sometimes there is nothing better than just light-hearted playing in the shop.
keep havin' fun,
Walt

Nice to get to that point in turning where if you can think of it - you can turn it! Great use of imagination and great conversation pieces!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great pieces and even have the mustard for it.

[Mike Vickery]

Nice work, I like them.

[Kyle Iwamoto]

Awesome!!!!!! Hope nobody tried to take a bit out of that hotdog. That could ruin a few teeth!

No beer??????:) LOL

Very creative. Nothing like a high fiber diet, a little tuff to chew though.

[Jarrod McGehee]

Had I not seen it on the creek I woulda gone in for a bite! they look pretty appetizing from here :D

[Jeff Nicol]

Jason, I think there may be a market out there for ecclectic turnings of food design! Some avant garde art gallery is just waiting for a guy like you to bring in your wonderful ideas! They look great and one never knows what lurks in the mind of an artist!

Jason,
When I saw them.... I almost drooled. Great job on both of them. The shapes are perfectly proportioned, and a great choice of woods. Very Well done.

[Tom Giacomo]

Your making me hungry.

[Jason Clark2]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. The hot dog from the original post has already been sold, a friend saw it on Facebook and had to have it. I'm already working on more. Finished 2 more tonight and have 3 more in process. One of the next 3 will have a bite taken out of it.

Both hot dogs are Sapele, the bun on the left is Shamel Ash, on the right is Eucalyptus.
