walnut

I had an idea for a chair back with a claw like form. At the same time I was making a stool with crab like legs. All my furniture was turning into crabs, which has happened multiple times in nature. It even has a term, carcinization. Walnut with turned legs, post, and back rest. Back rest is a...

I've wanted to try this for awhile. I've done lots of bow ties in flat wood but never for a bowl. This void really didn't need the support, at least not until I tried to add the bow tie. Yes, I broke the top part off. It fit back on pretty clean when I glued it up. I used a copin saw and chisel...

12" x 10" x 4", finished with Tried and True Danish oil.

Walnut from my dad's backyard 4 1/2" diameter. I used a skew to cut the incision lines.

Approx. 7.75x2.75. Turned green, hand carved while drying. First time using Osmo Gloss Polyx-oil. Interesting finish. I look forward to trying it more. (I am recovering from a carving related repetitive strain shoulder injury. I haven't submitted in awhile and am way behind on my photography too!)

This combines a few of the favorite influences in my life. Walnut with pyro engraving, about 18" in dia..

Black walnut, about 7.5 x 7.5 inches.

15" diameter walnut platter, featuring 39 equally spaced decorative arcs on the rim. This was made from one solid piece of walnut. The arcs were cut using a custom indexing jig.

Just trying to have some fun with a basic shape. Bead was cut with a rotary chisel and hand-sanded. Finished with Walrus Oil.

4”h x 3.5”d Made this piece for a talk I'm giving about design and woodturning at YouTube's annual design conference in August. Kept it simple; classic form, walls turned to about 1/4", and finished with shellac.

Won a crotch Walnut chunk of wood at a local AAW meeting. There was a third branch, smaller and very dead in the bifurcation. That became the center of this Vase. 13 x 6".

I turned this bowl using the long-tenon method, kicking it off-axis to turn the inside portion of the bowl. I then turned two additional facets on the outside to catch the light at different angles. The rose engine accents were turned on my MDF Rose Engine 2.0 while the bowl was off-axis. The...

...........Not Apple, of course, lol. Walnut, 8x8 inches Could not bring myself to do any more embellishment than this. I thought "Simple, plain, good wood" and let it be.

This was turned live on TikTok as a giveaway for our top gifter. Made from walnut. I am extremely surprised the walnut held together and didn't snap!
