    inspired by turning n.e. bowls

    As I was walking to my shop today after a couple days turning my n. e. bowls, I was inspired to turn something a bit different.........

    Nice. Never thought about doing off center turning for a cane.

    Long handled bonker....But a nice looking one. Trying to stay busy, huh, Doug?

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Sweet work there, Doug! I'd call that a poker rather than a bonker, however.
    That's not a light at the end of the tunnel; It's a naked singularity.

    Very nice Doug, it's always nice to turn something different now and then.

    Nice job Doug. Form and finish are beautiful.

    Thanks for your kind words..I have the luxury of turning anything I want to at any time or nothing at all...I had no intention of turning a walking stick as I started to the shop. A cousin had dropped off some cedar and mentioned that he would like to try to turn a walking stick out of some of it...When I walked by the cedar, it occured to me that I had never turned one......So, something different and keeps me busy. Thanks again, doug
