I have been busy this past 7 days and over the next few will post why. This is the first 'Lazy Larry' built using the new spiral jig I have just built. Timber is PH and SA of course. More different ones being built. Finish is tung oil and wax. I have a Blog on the Jig and the process and will...

This is one of many wine holders that I recently finished. I've been trying to design holders that look more like they should balance when they all do. This one turned out very sturdy and strong, it looks nice balance wine or just resting against the wall as a design. It's made from maple

Becoming a woodturner has been referred to as falling into the vortex. Now I get it. I thought it was the money required. I like turning tool handles, as well as other things that get a lot of use. Rough turn a cylinder. I used vernier calipers to get the inside dimension of a brass tubing...

Nautilus shells are one Nature's more perfect examples of the logarithmic spiral. This is my first attempt and proof of concept in plain 'ole (CHEAP!) pine. Turned out pretty nice. This little guy only has about a 3 inch diameter, but as a proof of concept, I'm pretty pleased with it. I'm...

I made this oak bed frame to complete my bedroom set. The original design was from wood magazine Issue 187 November 2008: But I didn't really like the pencil-posts or canopy top, then I found a video from St Pierre Woodworking on how to make the spiral legs. To make the legs round, I made...

This is a project that I have had in mind to make for a long time, but finally had the time and resources. It is a spiral segmented rolling pin made from Western Big Leaf Maple, Honduras Mahogany, Walnut wood, and a poplar dowel. It contains 269 pieces of wood, making it a challenging, yet fun...

A spiral entrance to a re-purposed attic… A portion of the original railing was removed and the new stair partially erected over the straight stair headway to maximize available landing space.

Somebody said that we needed to try something new with this swap and really push ourselves. I may have taken it too far. I got the inspiration from a few youtube videos and a website (www.marchland.org/woodturning/list.htm) that explained how to get a twisted tapered turning. Given the amount...

Ok, I admit that I like to make unique items, so here's another one. The wood is from a section of a cedar post, and that is a real golf ball (not a sponge fake). I have tried to show all sides of the "cube" as close up as my camera will permit for the photos. Enjoy. p.s. - I see that there...

A friend of mine found a couple tables she liked on-line, and asked if I could re-create something similar. The condition was that I had to make it for less than the advertised price, and to her color/size specifications. The main design of the table was that of a simple top with wrought iron...

I made this as the idea had been floating around in my head for more than a year and it was lonely in there. It is made from recycled Narra and is 300×300 x 1400 mm in size. The top and bottom is dovetailed. It gives an interesting look when view from different angles. It can be used for...

I've never tried an end grain cutting before. I found a board at the shop and went for it. The juice ring and handle made this one for me more than just pieces of wood glued together. Decided to give to my Mom who was thrilled with the surprise. She is afraid to use it!

Made a few more wands and bentwood rings for a few families at the hospital and at church that I new had kids few years back (since it happened to be the Christmas of the lathe, why not), decided to try something new, spiraled 2 of the wands and added a bentwood laminated handle (walnut I...

I saw something like this that came from india and decided i had to try it. The bowl is 1 piece of wood mounted onto the bottom plate. It is a long spiral cut on a 2 degree angle so that as the bolw goes up it locks into itself. As you lift the handle, it acts as a lever to expand the bowl.
