Hey all,
I've been on this forum for about a year and while I've enjoyed seeing everyone else's work, I haven't posted any of my own.
Here is my lathe with 2 birdhouses I just finished (on the left) and 2 from last year (on the right).
The far left has a walnut body, ash top and ebony post (finish is spray on lacquer)
The 2nd from left has a walnut body, old growth maple top and ebony post (finish is spray on lacquer)
The 2nd from right has a cherry body, padauk top and maple post (finish is Behlen's)
The far right has a cherry body, bloodwood top and indian rosewood post (finish is Behlen's).
I'm not very happy with the lacquer finish but I thought I would try something new.
Enjoy!
