Inlaid Redwood sun

I found this Redwood at Goodwill, and made this sun pattern. I inlaid it into a piece of quilted Maple.

Hi Carl my name is Connor Nichols. Im 15 years old and I love to turn things on my lathe and watch videos on your youtube acount. I have just recently made These pens which are half wood half acrylic with a CA finish on them. I don’t know what wood is on the purple pen but the green pen is made of coconut wood

14″ Walnut (with Purple Heart Ring) Salad Bowl (my 4th every turning project

After 10 years out of the wood shop because of college then dental school I finally got back into the woodshop. I finally made time and thought I would start to learn wood turning. Just by watching youtube videos (yours and Frankl Horvath’s) over the last 2 weeks and turing three small maple bowls I thought I would give a large segmented bowl since I don’t have any rough turned bowls.

I think it turned out well being that its only my third bowl and learning/doing in two weeks.

I just used 5/8 bowl gouge, scraper, easywood chuck (w/ 1-3/8 jaws which were definitely undersized), and a relative’s lathe. I finished the bowl with beeswax and mineral oil.

Thanks for your videos. They gave a good foundation.

Christmas bell decroation

This is my first woodturned project. Started woodturning in the fall of 2014. Really enjoy using my new mini lathe and hope to expand my experience to sell my items at craft shows.
