Boy that little lathe is fun :) I could get used to making these stoppers. 20 minutes each, from block to buffed.

Lighter wood is ash. I think the darker wood is padauk. Except for the far left one, all are sanded to 400. The one on the far left is directly from the gouge; no sanding. It was my test piece, and I was way too lazy to sand ;) Finish is just Beall buffed.

Very nice work Joe!
I still say there is nothing like turning on a mini for fun and satisfaction. Do you have the standard or VS model?

The VS model. It was on sale at Amazon more cheaply than the standard model. Who could say no? :)

Nice shapes on the middle 3 I am printing a picture of them now since I was planning on making a couple this week end. Not crazy about the ones on the ends but taste is subjective.
