Third Wheel

[Raymond Overman]

Well, as promised I worked on the third piece of purpleheart yesterday. I'm pleased with the way the triplet came out but will probably re-work the finish on the last piece. I'm not satisfied with it as I am the others. I textured the piece with a dremel with a spur bit.

I included a pic of the bottoms also. I'll put my brand on them when I've finished re-working the finish on the third one.

Very nice Raymond! The details add a lot to the overall beauty!

Very, very nice work Raymond. I am not into lathe stuff, but those 'trays' caught my eye. I like the shape and color/finish.:cool:

[John Miliunas]

Those are way cool, Ray!!! I too really like the texturing feature on them. :) (Maybe a mini-tutorial lurking in there somewhere???:D ) Also, what method did you use to finish the foot on those guys? Doesn't look like a jamb-chuck would do the job.... :confused: :) :cool:

Wow. Raymond my knuckles hurt just looking at them. They sure came out great. Thanks for sharing.

John,

I'll try to put something together for the texturing tutorial but can't say when it will be done. I learned the method from an Al Stirt demo and have to give him the credit for the design and style.

I did use a jamb chuck to finish the bottoms. I'm just real good with a chisel and sandpaper after I get down to the nub.

Thanks for the comments.
