I picked up a Jet 1220 and some basic turning tools after reading about lathes and turning for months. If you can believe it my wife has been telling me to just buy the dern thing for weeks. (She's a keeper!) This is my first project. I picked up a bunch of generic 2.5×2.5×12" blocks from a...

It's been a couple of years since I turned anything on the lathe. I was fiddling around on eBay, and I saw a block of spalted elm cheap. So on a whim, I went ahead and bought it. Once I had it in my shop, I decided to chuck it up in the lathe and this is what came out. You can click here to...

OK, a pair of candlesticks is nothing special to brag about… :) The reason I posted this is to show my first experience with the Sears Router Crafter that I bought earlier this year, but didn't have a chance to try until now. It was a bit tricky at first, and took some time to figure out how to...

The first project to come off my new lathe (a Jet mini). After a few test pieces I was comfortable enough with the process to take it to a really nice piece of Spalted Tamarind I recently acquired. Very pleased with the results.

Hello, Not a terribly exciting project, but as I'm new I figured I should post some of my work. The candle sticks are silver-plated tops and bottoms (from a set that broke the center bar) and I turned a couple pieces of Brazilian cherry (? or something.) My girlfriend gave me the broken parts...

I am new to Lumberjocks and this is the first project I have posted. I recently retired and while I have done other woodworking I have just begun learning to turn. I took a class at Convover workshop in Parkman, Ohio. Ernie Conover is a great guy and I heartily recommend his classes. We made...

This is an advent candlestick in the form of a traditional Swedish Lucia parade. The parade normally takes place early in the morning December 13th. First in this candlestick procession is the starboy followed by Lucia herself and then her five female attendants. The base is a piece of massive...

A trio of padauk candle sticks, based on article in American Woodturner magazine on continental candle sticks. Now I have a 3/4" spindle gouge (reshaped from a roughing gouge :) ). I got away with a friction polish on these, I wasn't sure if it would work or not. Padauk ages by turning from a...

I made a Candlestick similar to this quite recently, as a "save" for a base I had turned for a small "side table" for my Brother. I took that Candlestick with me to show to him when I payed him a visit a few weeks back (I don't see him very often as he lives 4 1/2 hours drive away) and he liked...

One of the first wood turning designs I came up with,and one of the first I made on my then new Jet lathe. The finish is lacquer. I made several sets of these candelsticks of this design out of various woods.Some were turned out of oak 2×4s when my Uncle tore down Grandad's old grainary. That...

This Candlestick stands a little over 6 inches tall, and the Base is 3 inches in diameter. The Laburnum was given to me back in January by a friend who cuts trees. The log had quite a few splits in it so I cut it into spindles, sealed the ends, and left it to continue drying. The base I glued...

These candlesticks are turned from Cherry, and are based on a project from Woodcraft Magazine. The finger ring on the Jack-be-Nimble style candlesticks is also Cherry. A small slot is cut in the side of the dish to accept the ring, and the joint is reinforced with a small dowel. I started out...

So it has been a while since I have turned. A few job changes, family illnesses, and building a new house left me with little time to turn over the past 5 years. Things have settled down a little and I wanted to make something special for my wife for Christmas. Oh yeah and we had a son somewhere...

This is a candlestick made from padauk and walnut measuring ten inches tall and three and a half inches wide. This was made using a technique called inside-out turning where you cut a design, split the turning apart, assemble the outside as inside, and turn again to get openings. The finish is...

The candlestick measured 10" tall x 3" wide at the base, and 1 1/⁴ at the top. The two pieces were turned separately and designed to fit snugly together. Once sanded and finished with my friction sauce I glued them together using epoxy. I love capture rings, but didn't want it to take away...
