With all that's been going on, I haven't been able to take any time turning. What with repairs from the flood and the eye surgery, I was kept busy and unable to be around wood dust for several weeks.
Last weekend, I did a pen making demonstration at one of our local farmer's markets. Between talking the folks, I got six pens turned.
I know, I know......There are only five here. The Sassafrass pen lasted all of five minutes before someone bought it.
They are, top to bottom: Brazillizn Cherry, Mahogany from Grenada, Box Elder, Curly Maple and VERA from Aruba.
I actually got into the shop tonight and thought I'd try one of Richard Raffin's boxes. I modified it a little.
It is 3" tall, 2-1/4" Diameter, Walls 1/8" thick, and overlapping flanges are 1/16". ( the lid "Snaps closed", too!) Almost forgot to mention, it's Cherry.
Hope you like it.
Thanks for lookin'.
