Everyone likes pictures and I have been lazy in posting any of my turning, so here are a couple recent pieces I've finished...You will notice a re-occuring theme with a lot of my turning, as it tends to be birch, as that's what I have readily available....I do tend to turn burl wood as much as possible though. :)
Both these are saved "cut offs" from breaking down burls for larger pieces. :)
A small lidded box..Birch burl with a Mesquite knob..2.5" x 3.5" tall...........Finished with WOP
