Here is a handle I turned from sugar maple for one of the files that Walt found for me. This is the first turning that I have ever done! I have 4 to go, but I needed a test one to try to get it right. Although I made quite a few mistakes, it still looks ok. I laugh ever time I see the handle cause I don't think it will work very well because you have to hold it too far away from the blade. However, we shall see what happens in real use.
So far it is only finished with one coat of BLO. Tonight I will put on another coat of BLO and early next week will cover it with shellac.
Below the handle you see a part of a elm log that will be my next turning project...a small bowl (or two)!
