Nothing too fancy here, a different snowflake design than the previous ones I cut out of Holly and a Maryland blue crab cut from Chatke Viga so it looks pretty close to the cooked color of a Maryland summertime favorite treat. Both were triple thick cut (.25" each) to make more people happy...

Purple Haze is 6" D x 10" H and is made from a Holly tree that I received from a member of my wood turning club in Jacksonville, FL. It was being cut down because the tenants wanted a better view of the yard that this tree was blocking! I got a half dozen pieces and this is my first turning of...

...or flash drive or thumb drive or memory key or whatever else they're known as. O.K. the dimples might not be quite authentic, but it does feel nice in the hand. Ball is holly and the tee is yew. I was pleased with the accuracy of my turning of the sphere. My previous attempts have tended...

Here's a small vase I made a few days back. The Holly was given to me by a friend who is a Tree Surgeon here in the U.K. It stands a fraction under 4 inches tall, and is about 2.5 inches inner diameter at the rim. I decided to keep the shape quite simple, and with minimum decoration, to let...

When I decided to build this table I had one purpose in mind, to break the misconception of making a table from Popular wood. Not that Popular would be a unique wood, but more that this particular piece of popular was breaking the mold on the conception of what this species of wood looked like...

First post so be kind. Just graduated from school, have my first job and for the first time I find myself with a little disposable time and a few sheckles to spend on a hobby I've been eying for a long time. I love scouting and have toyed around with carving sticks on countless camp outs...

This the first batch of bowls that I had rough tuned back in October with my new bowl saver tool. The large bowl is 9.5"x 4" and 3/16th thick. I got greedy when to rought it, I had only left about 7/8". When it dried it looked more like a football than a bowl. The others didn't move as much...
