    Some fun stuff turned over the weekend

    memorial weekend project

    Two oak trees in the front yard had to come down since several limbs were hollow. I know oak is not an exotic wood, but I don't like to waste the goodness that mother earth provide us. I was lucky enough to meet Joe from Sawmill Joe that offered his help with sawing the trunk. Needles to say...

    Weekend turnings!

    Turned a pencil for a buddy of mine who's getting shipped out the end of this month. I'm not real happy with the fit, I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention. He was thrilled with it though. Can you guess the wood? And here's my first bowl, turned out of BW that I got from the...

    Two Weekends, a sheet of Plywood, and a gloat

    Finally got the Plywood cart put together. It's from Shop Notes - 10 Plywood Projects. I was lucky to find 23/32 sheathing plywood that was flat, dry, and not too voidy at the Blue Borg. I did all of the cutting with my trusty DeWalt Circular/Framing/whatever saw and the 100" straight-edge...

    More pens I turned this weekend

    Churning out Christmas gifts. I think I've got the CA finish down. The secret is, that it doesn't take a lot, and use accelerator. Most of the wood pens are BLO/CA. Again, very little BLO, about 6 drops, then 3-4 coats of medium CA. Only takes about 6 drops per coat. The first one is my...

The 2 outside awls are wood scraps, 1/4" rod from the borg that I made. Obviously need to learn how to photograph properly. Look a lot better in your...
