  1. Windsor Legs, Posts -- Don't Give Up Hope!

    Well, since I've been running around the world, quite literally, haven't had much time to get back on the Windsor pony and get to my Boston side chairs. I did, however, get back into the shop over T-giving and finished up turning the legs and side posts for the two chairs I'm building to go...
  2. Bowls

    Two bowls recently finished. The small one is just over 4" across and is made of Laburnum. The larger one is Yellow Cedar and is 8". Both are finished with Bees wax. The small one I tried to fix a crack with some CA but it is noticeable were the CA absorbed around the crack, next time I...

  4. Assorted turnings

    These are some assorted turnings that got in the way, once I was turning the feet and finials for my Adulterated Federalist table. This is why my projects take so long to complete. These other little things pop-up! Salt& Pepper shakers/toothpick holder are Brazilian Cherry & White Oak-Bud Vases...
  5. Copper Plating and Forming Station

    This is an electroplating / electroforming station I built to allow me to copper plate wood turnings and other things I make in my shop. The station has built-in LED lighting and a built-in, variable speed fan. The work area is enclosed on three sides and the top to contain any gases and so...
  6. Electroplated Woodwork

    These are items I turned (with exception of the cork halves) then electroplated using the plating/forming station I just posted. The items were copper plated using a solution of copper sulfate and battery acid with low voltage (approx. 1/2 volt) and amperage (approx. 1/2 amp) from an anode to...

  9. Continuous Arm Windsor Chair

    Here is my first attempt at a continuous arm Windsor chair. I made it during a class with Curtis Buchanan this July. The finish is milk paint, black over red, scrubbed with abrasives to allow the red to show through a little…as Curtis does with many of his chairs. Wood: the seat is Eastern...
  10. Philadelphia High Back Windsor

    I made this chair as part of the same class as my pal, Fred Dudak, at the Windsor Institute with Michael Dunbar. Fred's chair was more refined than mine when I left-he's got more of the chairmaker knack. But I did a little work on my knuckles and redeemed myself a little! Delicate...
  11. Apple Bottle Stopper

    Just trying to expand my skills with familiar objects.
  12. First Set of Pens - Lathe Newbie

    Bought a lathe (Delta 46-460) after Christmas and decided to try some turnings. Still getting used the the process, but really loving the short turn-around projects I can create. Nice break from LVDT and LCDTs. While these are nothing special in terms of turnings or pens, they were so much fun...
  13. Screen door - Spanish modern inspired

    Client decided he wanted a "statement" for his front entry…."....some carvings and some spindles would be nice…" The door and spindles is quartered, ribbon sapele (African mahogany) I found the brass handle in an antique store, though had to make the back plate from a piece of bronze flat-bar...
  14. Laminated Ornamental Turning

    After four decades or so of woodwork, I touched a lathe for the first time. Never a patient person, I loved the instant gratification. That being the case, it's almost comical that I complicated the processes by adding plating (copper) to the processes and, now, laminations. Of course, all...

  16. Yankee Candle holder from Dunnage

    Trying to kill off the bowl blanks from Christmas…Deb was throwing away some old Yankee candles… They're all the same diameter jar so as I was taking them to the shop (for the wax of course) I thought….why not. More dunnage (Indian dontknow) sanded to 320 with a single coat of 2# shellac buffed...

    these are all from the same slab of wood. the red tone to wood is caused by steaming burl under pressure. they were air dried. i was satisfied with the outcome. take care and fun times in shop, manzanitaman.
  18. Holiday turnings for festive spirits

    Hey everyone, hope all is well. As always I appreciate all of your comments and awesome projects you share. With the holidays coming faster by the moment, I though it might be fun to try and turn out some holiday ornaments using my Springpole lathe. Me and my girlfriend thought these would be...
  19. Recent turnings

    The first hollow form I think is birch. It was dyed ala Trifern procedure with black, red and yellow finished with multiple coats of wipe on poly. Total height is around 4.25 inches. Number two I think is a piece of cottonwood that was given to me, height is 9 inches. The dye is black and...
  20. A few turnings and a box

    For whatever reason I really enjoy using my lathe, especially with local wood that I cull from trees but I also have used the "exotic" type you can purchase which do come out very nice. Here are a few images of my first attempts, I would like to post some of the other items but I never bothered...
