Child’s Chair From Scrap Pine Version 2

This version was ordered with arms for an older child. Simpler to put together than version 1 but not as satisfying to make.

Childs Chair From Scrap Pine

First attempt at a simple child’s chair which has proven to be a very popular design, especially with the child’s initial mounted on the back.

Fluted macrocarpa and wine bottle base

Hi Carl, enjoy your videos. I’ve looked around and haven’t found anything quite like it. I’m sure someone somewhere is doing something similar, perhaps not with turned wood though. The inspiration came from my nephew, who asked me to make a beer bottle chandelier (which I haven’t done yet !!). Adding glass opens up a whole new range of possibilities and I’m keen to explore this. Contact me for construction pictures and thoughts. Best regards, Joe, Auckland, New Zealand

Segmented bowl

Had this image in my head and wanted to give it a shot.
Not sure if oak was the best choice for the main body. I found it very hard to turn and with the wide annual rings in the bottom a real bear to get the bottom smooth.
Undoubtedly there is some technique I’m not familiar with but I’ve been turning for all of 5 weeks now so I’m certain there’s lots to learn.
Right now the tung oil seal coats are drying. In a few days I’ll try the Beall buffing system on it.
