The Ebony Pedestal and Finial are fashioned after Robin Costelle's work. This piece measures 2-1/2" dia. x 11-3/4" tall. Finished with antique oil and buffed. The lid does have a slight dome to it.
I got this piece of burl in a lopsided trade with my friend Mark Cothren (I got the better deal). I've never turned Amboyna before but I assure you I will turn it again. Wonderful wood. This box measures 3-1/4" dia. x 3-1/4" to the top of the ebony knob. Walls 1/8". Finished with...
Here is a closeup of the first finished butterfly. I just slapped on a quick coat of shellac. It will get sanded and redone.
I really need to come up with a better method of sanding all the groves to remove all the scratches.
I should get about 16 out of this ring, 14 or 15 will have full...
I know this is beyond the deadline but I started it the day after I finished my maple leaf. ;-)
This was a clearance slab of burl, it is some kind of Aussie species, smells like a hamster cage. Dust leaves a sour taste in mouth and it is very oily and clogs sandpaper quickly.
It had a...
This Corrugata bowl measures 11"x12"x3". Originally, I had planned to turn it with a natural bottom. The wood just looked too good, so I decided to turn the bottom, also, with some good advice from Jim Syvertson along the way. The bowl is finished with 4 coats of antique oil, then...
This piece is Grey Box Burl. It was hot melt glued to a piece of 3/4" plywood, then turned on three different centers with a faceplate so that the back remained original. Overall size is 9.5"x6"x1/5" and finished with sanding sealer and lacquer. Comments and critiques welcome.
This piece is 19" at it's widest point. The bowl is 10" across and about 2" deep. The wood is Big Leaf maple Burl. Finished with Tung Oil and Beale Buffed. Lots of fun with this one. To see and hear it spinning got to http://www.aturningdesire.com
My youngest daughter and her husband like oriental things. I thought Ray Key's piece on the woodturners catalog would be something they would like. My rendition is maple burl (spalted and punky) with a walnut base and a claro walnut lid. The base is about 6 1/2" wide and 2 1/2" tall...
This is an F# five holed native American flute made from Madrone root burl injected with blue dye. This flute plays and sounds well, besides being a fine piece of highly figured wood.
This burl was found on the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina and was given to me by a contractor who found it on the beach and has no idea where it came from and no one has any idea what this wood is. There was a kind of pine smell, more when sanding than turning though, friction, I guess. Any...
