A Few Turnings

[Keith Westfall]

After encouragement by many here, I am posting a few of efforts. Pictures are not great (I an NOT a photographer!) but they are all I have.

Just need to remember what wood I have used - usually having too much fun to care...:D

For LOML at Christmas - solid blood wood, 1/2" recess for candle. Candle turned to match! That made the shop smell nice for a bit!! Still smell it when you turn on the vac. :D

Another Christmas for the LOML - Walnut I think, Candle also turned to match the shape of the candlestick. candles are soft... :confused:

Anyway, that's it.

Thanks.

Great looking stuff, Keith. The good news is that you've managed some really nice looking turnings... The bad news is that you're gonna have to spend all weekend at a couple of weddings.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Those are some really nice turnings. I do like that first candle stick.

[John Keeton]

Keith, those are some neat items! I like the pair of candlesticks - really nice contrast of the heartwood/sapwood and nice work on the inside out turning, too.

Really nice stuff, Keith. The inside-out candlestick is especially appealing to me.

[Ron Stadler]

Really like your inside out turning, would like to try a couple of those myself, very nice work.
