This is a set of turnscrews I made, based off London Pattern Turnscrews from an old Marples catalog. Then I tweaked them to match turnscrews sold by Swan early in the 20th Century. They are sized to fit wood screws of even sizes from 2-8. I cut the blades from O-1 tool steel, filed the tips to...

A while ago, Pottz sent me a care package that included a piece of mimosa. I've been fighting it for months, and every time I would turn it, it seemed to want to fly into a million pieces. Tried hollowing it with a spade bit. Then tried a Forstner bit. Finally got a side-scraper to finish the...

Here are some pictures of one of my first log projects. I made it about 10 years ago (shortly after Daniel Mack's book came out). I made it with a pocket knife and some twist bits out of mimosa prunings. The side table top is just a rough slab of black walnut. It doesn't get daily use, by...

This is my first try, using Ganders' instructions. I used eastern red cedar, cherry, and mimosa woods. I finished the board with mineral oil. It is about 5/8" x 9" x 13". I learned a couple of things not to do, one is to start with thicker strips, make your initial board as wide as your...

One of the members in the wood turning club I'm a member of brought in a bunch of wood to give away and I was able to get a large log of Mimosa. I have never turned any of it before. I cut a chunk off and turned this platter that measures 9" x 2". It was a pleasure to turn but definitely must...

Nobody ever accused me of doing anything quickly. This bowl was started 2 years ago and set aside after a nasty catch (see picture #5). Hubby found it and chucked it up on his new Harbor Freight mini lathe and said finish it up (picture #6). It went airborn once. We don't have a long worth or a...

Cut from a tree at work. Used a microwave transformer to burn a fractal pattern above the crack in the middle, and then filled both with turquoise. I wanted it to look like a tree coming out of the ground. Finished with Sam Maloof oil/poly. First time doing any fractal burns or inlay work so...

Finished with Sam Maloof oil/poly. Traced a design I found online for the tree and then cut it out with the router. The "leaves" turned out darker than I had wanted them to. The glue darkens the fine grit turquoise for some reason and I don't know how to avoid that. But all in all, it was a...

My mom has wanted a set of outdoor chairs for a while now. After we came across a set of rustic styled sassafras benches in Brown County, Indiana her heart was set. At least I knew what to do for Mother's day! The legs, stretchers and arched backs are all made from mimosa tree limbs. The mimosa...

I wanted to make a couple of small weed pots out of this chunk of mimosa. After I started cutting into it I saw the beautiful grain and decided to keep it larger. Finish is an experiment with cyanoacrylate. It worked OK but I think I will stick to only using it on pens. Vase is 6" high, 2.5"...
