What’s on your lathe?

Still bead and color free this time.

Gotta love 1/4 sawn sycamore. 11 x 1.75

What a beauty!

I don't know that I've ever turned any sycamore but that sure is pretty. There's lots of it around here and I just got a sawmill so I can see some 1/4 sawn sycamore in my future.

I got lucky, the guy had just emptied his kiln so I was pretty early. He said it goes fast.

Wife says she wants a bowl. Chucked up a piece of 11 x 5 walnut. Rounded the outside. Grabbed a small core out of it so far.

 

[Phil Hamel]

Ended up with a 9 x 4 finished piece. Walnut oil finish.

 

[David Wyke]

Last piece of the consignment bowls completed on the lathe with a coat of DO. That makes a total of seven for the client. Now their decision on oil, lacquer, or a combination of both for the finish.

A bag of pillar candleholders that a customer wants converted into a large chess set. I know there is not enough pieces and the brief is to maintain the same look

13" first-turned swamp white oak platter. Anchor-sealed and paper bagged, pending update in 4-6 mos

 

[Robert Lindstadt]

Working on a star bowl. The segmented pieces are ready for glue up then added to make a bowl.

Another baby in the extended family. Hard maple…

And the last hour a piece of walnut becoming a bowl shape

Awesome leg design Pat!

Back to some beading and burning.

From the big lathe to the little one.

[David Wyke]

Getting closer to Christmas and I need to get the gift bowls ready for my gold, silver, and bronze friends. Gold of course gets nice figured bowls, bronze gets nice bowls.
Had time to second turn one this morning before heading to pick up my granddaughter, thought it would be a bronze bowl but has some nice figure in it so it may go to a silver friend!

 

[Sam Fleisher]

I see a dogs face in the inside but I'm probably biased.

Walnut 10.5 x 3

The outside I was giving my new optima burner and a coil pen a workout. Learning curve there but this will work for a first try as just an embellishment.

That's beautiful.

Cherry HF on the lathe. I ran into several rotten knots in this one and had to keep changing shape to cut them out. Hopefully finish tomorrow.
