Here are some more turnings coming off of the lathe. I made a walnut vase (similar to a previous project) from an old walnut post taken from a Missouri barn. And included a few worm holes, too! The lighter colored vases are made from a good ol' North Carolina gumball tree that a relative had...

Made these from a 6inch branch that I collected from the tip. Been buried in the garden for 6 months and then left out to dry for 18 - 24 months. The idea was to promote spalting, but all I got was some nice smoky patches. They are both sanded to 400 and sealed, then sprayed with "Cabothane...

This project was quite an undertaking. I had no idea what I was getting in to when I started it, but it turned out great and I'm glad I got to do it. It taught me a lot about a number of techniques. As you'll see from the pictures, these shelves were made to hold up a pair of 90 lb. vases. The...

These two were completed today, however the plain one has been hanging around for a while. All that was needed to complete the job was a final coat of "Krylon" clear varnish. Damp weather was the holdup. I had planned to dye the plain one as well, but SWMBO loved it so much in the "Raw" that I...
