Mini Pepper mill

I wanted to make this from maple because I knew that maple would last a long time.
The kit is the Artisan Mini Pepper mill.

A friend wanted me to match a chair cover. She WAS going to draw my logo. I am thinking on keeping it now that I see it.

3 Weeks of Wood Turning

Carl,

I started turning wood a little over 3 weeks ago and can’t stop. This is a hoot.

It started off pretty innocently by me wanting to try turning a wood fishing rod handle. I figured to do a little R&D before I started making them for my customers.

To date I have knocked out 10 rod handle sets, 2 small lidded boxes, 2 bowls, 2 square winged bowls, a larger lidded box, a miniature goblet and a couple pratice finials.

I am just using a small Harbor Freight mini lathe I used for turning cork handles but I am quickly realizing that it is too light.

Here is a living collage of most of my little projects.

Thanks for all your instruction and videos.

Cherry, crushed seashell inlay bracelet

We were vacationing in Florida and picked up a few shells on the beach. I thought these could be a good inlay on a bracelet. So here it is. Thanks Carl for all the valuable information you share with other turners. Dave
