    🤣 well done
  • Cherry Hollow Form
    Beautiful shape, and the muted finish really shows off the grain. Very nice indeed!
  • Siberian elm
    Phil, nice! I recently got a trailer load of Siberian elm. I have turned several things from that pile. So far I’ve found it very easy to turn, perhaps a bit hairy. It was still very green though. Was your very dry?
    Yes. Dry and powdery.
  • Honduras Rosewood Burl Round Bottom Box
    Hi Gabriel, fantastic work - as usual! I understand what you described about the density of this type of wood - while I haven't turned anything from it, I did do some decorative hand carving with a piece of it in the past. I remember it as being very difficult to carve & extremely hard on...
  • Spalted maple hollow form
    Thanks, Nino!

    Yeah, if I come across some timber I think might be worth turning someday, I’ll use a chainsaw to break it down into turnable chunks. If the log is larger than about 8” diameter, I’ll remove the pith to avoid major splits. Then I dunk the end grain sides into a tub of anchor...
