Another idea is to make an Oland tool for roughing. I made one years ago after seeing one on Darrell Feltmate's website. All you do is take a round bar of soft steel and drill a hole in the end, and...
Looks like genuine Stout to me. Always interesting to see new shapes, I like it!
[QUOTE=terry mccammon;2367148]While we are on the subject. It is just my personal paranoia or is there a legitimate concern about a covered vat of DNA sitting around the shop in terms of fire...
Very nice Thom. I just got a 4" square of myrtle that has a similar fate awaiting it. I have no experience with myrtle, so it will be something new for me.
Very nice box Leo! I like the contrast of the curly spalted maple insert.
Thanks for the info everyone, I was stationed on Oahu part of my time in the Army. Wife and I went back for 25th anniversary in 1998, alas this was before I got my lathe.
Friend of mine is going to Maui and would like to bring back some wood for me to turn. Does anyone know of sources there?
May have been a while between posts, (pot calling kettle black here) but certainly worth the wait. Very nice, would like to get my hands on a similar cherry burl.
Very Very nice, great workmanship, and you can even see the level of the peppercorns! Thanks for showing.
Mike, I put my home brew oil finish on it. 1/3 blo, 1/3 gloss poly, 1/3 mineral spirit
Bought a banksia pod at Rockler. After getting it round and getting through a coating of red velvet, most of it was light tan color and very fibrous, not the hard dark color. All I could get out of...
How did they misplace the bone between your shoulder and forearm?
You certainly made the correct choice not to make pen blanks. Very nice HF whether first, last or in between.
Beautiful, I really like it!
Very nice, glad you stuck with it.
Very nice Leo, the only problem with being filled with popcorn is it would hide the nice grain symmetry you have revealed!
Fantastic job Steve! Both you and Robert are doing these beautifully. I imagine your teacher is proud of both of you.
Beautiful platter Robert! You sure have gotten good at the "woven basket" look. Retirement must be great!
Really good job! I'm sure it will be appreciated.
Mine has stopped just like this a couple times. I removed the plate with the stop switch, blew it out and it fixed the problem.
The only thing that could make it better would be if you lived in Paducah ;). Congratulations on your recognition by others outside the creek. Those of us in the creek already know! I knew the...
Good job, and good news to a good man.
Last one I made was from hard maple, sanded through 320 and then through the micro mesh. Shined up nice and still looks good after some baby gnawing.
Very nice, I like the contrast between the burl grain and sapwood.
