Jonathon those are some mighty fine turnings. You did a nice job on them. I really like the wands.

You might want to tell Barry those are small paddles for the little elves boat.

For a small boat and a small creek silly! :D

Yep, I knew tere was something wrong with this guy. Anybody can see it's for spanking little dolls.:eek: :eek:

Jonathon. Nice work... all of it. I like the texturing on the first wand handle.

[Jonathon Spafford]

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone... those two bowls in there are actually my first bowls that I have actually considered a success. They aren't perfect, but there almost no visible tearout and the inside and outside curve complement each other so I like 'em. The little "paddle" is intended for stir-frys, but it can second as an elven boat paddle in a pinch. The pictures aren't really good so I am surprised you caught onto the textured handle, Ernie.... good eye! I thought it would be a cool effect to dimple the handle... I did it with a dremel. Works nice!

Here are close-ups of the textured handle and of my other favorite handle right next to it for any of you that didn't catch the texture!!

[Henry C. Gernhardt, III]

Great looking work, Jonathan. That textured wand handle is very nice. Now for the ultimate question: What are the wand cores? :)

[Jonathon Spafford]

Now for the ultimate question: What are the wand cores? :)

Ummmmmmm.... wood :rolleyes: :D Ticked off a dragon once trying to get its eyelashes for a core... haven't tried it since!

[Mark Cothren]

Nice work Jonathon!

[Keith Burns]

Nice job on everything Johnathan, keep them coming:) :)

[Henry C. Gernhardt, III]

Jonathan, jonathan... Don't you know it's not the eyelashes, but the heartstring you need? :)

Sorry... I'm a bit of an HP fan...

[Ben Werner]

hmmm heartsring ay?! What about a unicorns tail hair.... or maybe a pheonix tail feather? ever thought of doin one of those?! :D
Sorry... I'm a bit of an HP fan... me too :D:p:cool: Love those wands! What are their diameters of the handles??

[Jonathon Spafford]

Jonathan, jonathan... Don't you know it's not the eyelashes, but the heartstring you need? :)

Sorry... I have never read the books or watched the movies... no wonder I didn't know; coulda saved myself some trouble :rolleyes: but hey you might try the eyelashes sometime... might work.

I didn't measure the handles, but I think they range from an inch in thickness (+ or -) for the bigger ones and the smaller ones are around half an inch I imagine. The brown one on the end might even be smaller. I don't measure... I just turn :D

Talk about a grand re-entry! Beautiful stuff.
