Playing with fire

[Jason Clark2]

My local woodturning club had Molly Winton in for a demo back in November. Our January Presiden't Challenge is 'Woodburning' so I got my battery charger woodburner up and running and have some results to post.


'Eddies' - Eucalyptus, 2 1/2" tall. No finish.

'Stingray' - Eucalyptus, 3" tall. Danish oil finish.

Olive Peppermill - 7" mechanism. Danish oil finish.

'Humpty and Dumpty' - Olive and East Indian Rosewood, 1 3/4" and 3" tall. Danish oil finish.

Thanks,
Jason

That's some really great looking turnings there! I like them very much and appreciate the ideas!

[Leo Van Der Loo]

I certainly like the outcome of the "Eddies" and also the Peppermill, thanks for showing :D

[John Keeton]

Jason, that is a really interesting technique!! Love the peppermill, and Humpty Dumpty is my second pick. Nice work!

[Richard Madison]

Cool stuff Jason. Looks like Molly inspired you. Have you seen any of Wally D.'s work? Not sure if he has an album here.

[Baxter Smith]

Neat! When I was about 7 or 8 I watched a distant relative take a stick of firewood and turn an acorn on his treadle lathe. He then did that to the top of it. I still have it. Thanks for sharing!

Good teaching?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Jason - looks like you paid attention in class - really cool stuff! I can see the possibilities for adding texture to a turning!

Bet the Molly Winton demo was amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[David E Keller]

Those are smokin' hot:o

I like them all but the mill and humpty/dumpty are my favorites.

[Sid Matheny]

The Eddies would be my #1 pick. I love it!

Jason they all look good to me. Really like the mill.

[Don Robert]

Jason,
You've done well with what Molly taught us. I look forward to seeing these turnings in person at next week's meeting.

Jason, Looks like the pyro bug has bitten you! I just ordered a bunch of nichrome wire so I can make some different tips and make my one burner and give it a try. To many things to do right now though.

I like all but the last 2 in the same picture, the curly pattern seems a little to much, maybe a smaller wire and design. The others are nice.
