Here is a box in the form of a ginger jar that I turned from some flame box elder that also had a bit of curl in it. Box elder is soft and prone to tear out and was a pain to sand on the inside as this box stretched the length to which my fingers could reach. I had to use long forceps for the...
I mentioned in a response to Travis on the Verawood box that the figure or lack thereof is important to turned boxes. I have a lot of curly maple that is highly figured on the side grain but the end grain is completely blah.
In an attempt to make use of this wood I used some East Indian...
My Dad and step-Mom were in town this weekend and she liked my Dad's pen so much I made her the pen below. I think it is the best pen I've down so far. The finish was glass smooth.
Hi:
Does anyone know where I can get 10/4 or 12/4 Curly Cherry and Mahogany? I live in Asheville but I expect I will have to travel to find this.
Any leads would sure be appreciated.
Thanks.
Just the right size for making pens, 3/4sq x 5 1/2". I found a little more laying around in the corner of my shop that I forgot about. So just why did I post this? because it's so cool. I mean who has ever seen curly Eastern Red Cedar before? Now you have :-D. I wished I could take better...
Need a little help, I'm such a bonehead at times. I promised Tarhead I would bring a slab of curly sycamore along with the walnut today and I forgot it :BangHead:. It's 5/4 x 16 x 5' - approx 8 BF. I was wondering if we could use the NCWoodworker Pony Express :eusa_pray to get it to him?
His...
I roughed the Curly Sycamore blank I got from Jeff today :eusa_danc :eusa_danc It was about 10 1/2 x 6 when I started. I had the LOML shot some short videos of the flying noodles:icon_thum and a lot of photos in my new photo studio set up I got for Xmas...
Anyone interested in these pen blanks before I turn them loose on IAP for $2.50 a peice? There’s an interesting mix of heart and sapwood and curly running trough the blanks. Should make for a very intersting pen / pencil.
If your interested, I about 50. This is a sample and may not be the...
Anyone interested in these pen blanks before I turn them loose on IAP for $3.00 a peice? You'll need to fill the bug holes with epoxy and pigment maybe black, white, red, cream, metalic... I don't know your choice. Solid wood pen blanks don't get much better than this :-D.
If your interested, I...
I have 4 sample 3/4sq x 5 1/2" curly pecan (hickory) pen blanks, if someone would like to give them a spin. All I ask is for an honest opinion of the material, as well as a photo of the pen you make out of one of these blanks. You keep the pen and the other 3 samples. I'm trying to get an idea...
I did not get a chance to turn this today :BangHead: :BangHead: but was able to get a few pictures of the curl like Jeff requested. I trued up the blank yesterday and reapplied the wax coat just in case I do not get to work on it for a couple days. Right now it looks like a cheese round :rolf...
You guys ever seen curly eastern red cedar? Man it's awesome looking 8-O
I've cut up alot of ERC since I got my WM, I ran across one with figured grain that had an old coke bottle in the log. But I was milling along slicing slabs and a happened to look at the log and there was a patch of curly...
I need someone to re-wire 2 existing 110 outlets into one 220 outlet. I have a good stash of figured hardwood if someone would like to make a trade. I will buy all needed materials...after I know what I need.
You can't beat a man at his own game.
Finally finished the sea chest now I need to focus on the boat :)
This is my version of a 18th century seafarers chest using Curly Redwood, copper rosehead nails, ERC bottom and dogwood runners. The cleats are Curly redwood as well and the till inside the chest has a lid of walnut crotch...
