Yes, I admit it, I turned my first funnel.
However, I made mine on purpose!
Because so many of you are fond/proud of turning bowls into funnels, and I'm a relatively new turner, I figured I'd skip the bowl step and proceed directly to full frontal funnelocity.
Another wood turner's forum issued a challenge to do a miniature turning, involving some hollowing, and maximum size of 2" in any dimension. It was the perfect opportunity to explore this shape (and working with miniature hollowing)
This little funnel is pine, 1 1/8" x 1 1/4", finished with Danish oil. The wall (near the rim) is .13" thick. The thinnest part of the spout (near the tip) is .024" thick.
Fun stuff!
