Finished my first turning project since I was a kid, a simple poplar honey dipper. Why poplar, you ask? I tried my hand with expensive woodcraft turning blank, and it snapped on me. Wife said, let’s buy cheaper woodchips. I said Poplar. This was also my first attempt at beeswax and mineral oil. Love it, even in a mason jar double boiler. -- --Jason | |||||||

Looks like fun! Who needs fancy (I’m assuming exotic?) prepared turning blanks anyway! I love domestic hardwoods, and for a project like this a chunk of maple, cherry, poplar, apple, or birch firewood would have served admirably.

How do you like getting back on the lathe? The dipper looks great!

I was all smiles. Working on my wife’s grandfather’s Shopsmith 10ER, with my grandfather’s turning tools. I forgot how much I enjoyed it. I think I was more afraid of it as a kid, now with more experience I’m still respectful, but I can enjoy it more.
