These are the latest things I turned.....and they are being used by the recipients...........


The turnings are hollowforms...hollowed and a few pieces of unpopped popcorn in them....


The recipients, however, in my biased opinion as Grandpa to these two beautiful twin granddaughters....they are superb!:D

I believe it is safe to say those will be family heirlooms. I just think its cool that my two boys play with my old tonka trucks. Your granddaughters will fully appreciate those in about 25 yrs or so.

And a well-deserved gloat, at that! Congratulations on your lovely granddaughters! If I was that lucky, I'd probably hire a skyplane for the gloat!;)

Too cool Gramps. I have a niece currently in a family way.....I think I'll steal your idea for the inevitable baby shower.

Nicely done sir. ;):)

Really nice Ken. Great job on the rattles and both Grand Daughters. I did not realize that Papa as I am called would get so many requests when my children started having children. Both grandchildren have several Papa items in their rooms, you are better than me with TWINS however. I think doll beds might be in both our futures.:D:D

Ken, good seeing the rattles again, and being put to such good use.

Those certainly are a beautiful set of granddaughters!! Apparently Ms. Fitzgerald added some very good DNA into the bloodline!:D;)

They're beautiful, Ken. The toys are very nice too. Congratulations on twice the love. Our first grand child will be here in mid December. I'm already planning projects.

Cute kids! And great looking rattles. Isn't the one on the left a bit young to be lifting weights? :D:D:D:eek: It's nice when the recipient enjoys the finished product more than you did making it.
