Knotty Bowl

Cut the end off an old knotty piece of limb in the woods. Don;t even know what kind of tree it was. This was full of carpenter ants which came out while I was turning it. A few more came out while I was drying it in the microwave. Finished witn boiled linseed oil. will put a clear lacquer finish on it later.

Wooden Hammer

Hi Carl,
I have a old sears wood lathe that I borrowed. It’s very good but I can do a couple of things with it. However my fiance has some medical problems and I have to be able to work from home. So I decided to try and start my own wood shop. Unfortunately as I am unable to work away from home I don’t have any money. So it is not going well. My lathe is horrible but I was hoping maybe you could make a wooden hammer and then I could see how a pro does it. Your awesome and I want to say thank you for putting up all those videos. Your the best.
