A sort of Itty Bitty

[Carole Valentine]

From the walnut stub left after turning a tool handle. 1 5/8" high. Waterlox finish.

I knew you had found your calling when I saw your first itty bitty piece. This is an outstanding example of a "pocket pot". Very nice indeed!:D

[Bernie Weishapl]

Glad to see ya back in the hat:D The bowl looks marvelous. I like the finish.

[Travis Stinson]

SWEET! I love the feathering!:D

[Bob Noles]

Nice... Nice.... Nice.....

Carole, you need to slow down if I am ever to catch up :D :D :D

[John Hart]

Wow! Pretty incredible!:)

[David Fried]

Your tools must have incredible handles!!!! That's some Itty-Bitty too!

[Mark Singer]

If I was voting again:confused: ....That would be a winner!

[Sparky Paessler]

I just love the figure in that wood. I don't know how you turn them so small. You must have much better eyes than I do. Great Job!

[Corey Hallagan]

Nice work Carole, I hope to be able to do some small stuff like that some day!

[Mark Cothren]

Very, very nice, Carole! Love that wood, and that's a great HF you turned out!

Thanks for the pictures!

[Ernie Nyvall]

That looks like marble Carole. Real nice and the form is just right.

I wouldn't think walnut would look that nice when turned that small.
Just a great looking piece.

Bill.>>>>>>>>>>>>>:)

Yeah Yeah Yeah, it's nice, but.....

I seem to recall that you were timber harvesting last fall at your local landfill (Now there's a mental image!) and came home with some big honking chunks of something. Whatever became of them?

Don't forget - with big bowls you can make a lot of shavings.

Note to the guys: Getting her to put the hat back on was easy, but now we gotta get this Itty Bitty thing outta her head or she'll need a pair of these real soon.

That would be cedar and some maple but I'm afraid if I mount them with this cheesy lathe stand I have they (and the lathe) will end up at the end of the street against the Linton's garage! I am trying to get up the nerve to turn the big chunk of "Thunder Cat" spalted maple that Mike Toupin brought me.:eek:

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Super look and exquisite workmanship!

Carole-
That is too cool- the shape, the finish and especially the wood/grain! At first glance I thought it was a gear shift knob :o but knew you were into HFs so had to check it out a little closer! That is outstanding!

[Jim Becker]

Wow! Gorgeous! Now you know why I love air-dried walnut...those colors...

The form of this piece is also wonderful, Carole...you have definitely found your calling!
