Wood Turning

Refinished Delta Rockwell Wood Lathe

Me and my dad picked up a used delta rockwell lathe for $300 and took everything apart, fixed it up, refinished everything, and put everything back together.

Vases XXL

Carl,

Here is the final pic of the big vases I turned this past spring and summer. The big Walnut/Ash Vase has 1610 pieces and the Curly maple Vase has 1922 separate pieces.

They are currently on display at a Venue called “The B.O.B.” (Big Ole building) during ArtPrize 2014 in Grand Rapids Michigan. Over the last 6 years this has been the largest Art show in the US with more than 1500 entries and I believe about 150 venues. The show runs for 19 days with more than $500,000 in prize money. They estimate more than a half a million people will visit during the 19 days.
So far the few days that I have spent at the venue the reaction has been great. Most people can’t believe the actual size of them. I have talked to a lot of wood turners that have a lot of questions. I just tell them that I can’t give up all of my trade secrets 🙂

Take Care

Cajun Outlaw Calls

Here is a call I made from granadillo, my new favorite wood and less costly than cocobolo.

segmented 3 axis box!!

This is my first real attempt at segmented turning. This was also inspired my Robbie the Woodturner’s project. This is made with maple, black walnut and, well, I’m not really sure what the 3rd wood is (beautiful grain though). The lid is maple and the finial is black walnut. Its about 4″ high and about 2.5 ” in diameter.
Thank you Carl for featuring my recent 3 axis box on your recent video. 🙂
