Haven’t added lathe work to my skill set yet, but can’t picture how you turn these. A few words of explanation would be great, esp. in terms of how to work so small. Thanks.

Thanks all.
Kevin, all of the small pieces are held onto a waste block on the lathe with double sided tape. My secret weapon. Light cuts and small tools for example a 3/8” detail gouge help keep from having the pieces come loose.

I like them. I am making my daughter a pendant out of a burl. How do you keep the leather strap in?

rmoore, you can look around online on how to make a jewelry eyelet, drill a small in the pendant and sink the eyelet in some epoxy and then use what is called a “jump ring”. That’s how I did it anyways. If you need anymore help post a pic and I’ll try to help.
P.S. You can probably buy eyelets where ever you find the jump rings. Most craft stores should have those things.
