Your videos inspired me to take some wattle that I had to cut down because it was growing under the power lines. It was sitting in the front paddock for about 6 months, dragged it up to the house for firewood and noticed it was dry, not too cracked…perfect for turning!!

This is my first attempt at making a box with lid from the one piece, using your techniques. Better to practice on the free stuff before buying good wood, eh?

Keep up the good work.

Egg cup

Egg cup from unknown wood…. Maybe its poplar
Very soft wood, very dry and with fibers wide apart… a big headache to turn
but the colours are very beautifull
Finish is CA glue
(2-3 coats of CA – 600 sanding – 3 more coats CA glue – 1200 sanding – and buffed with car polish cream)
