Some new mini bowls off the lathe.

They are all about 5/8 to 3/4 in. diameter, and around an inch tall.

I particularly love the Moradillo brown wood. Smells like coffee when you turn it.

The yellow one has Lapis ground up and inlaid in the ring. Worked out pretty good.

Darn they're cute and good turnings. Looks like you and Andy Hoyt should go into business together.:p Great Job!:)

Yeah, They'd only need 2 sq ft to warehouse the inventory. :D

Nice stuff there.

Chris, I used to make and sell them as fast as I could get them made, but I got in to other things and have not done many as of late. I think I sold enough to pay for my PM3520 so it was a good thing for a while! Hope you can do as well as I did in my heyday!

Nice minis,

Jeff

Those look like fun little projects. The table is pretty cool too... Did you make the table as well?

No, I did not make the table. It is a piece of dollhouse furniture I purchased.

I also made a little turntable to make videos of the mini pieces.

Chris, that is just plain cool! Love it, and yet more inspiration to work with wood. And, I loved the video.

Those are pretty cool. Don't know if I would have the patience to do those. Really well done.
