Walnut Vase

I baught a 5 x 5 x 7 walnut blank several months ago. I put it away and forgot about it until I was going through my wood stash Saturday morning. I turned this vase and finished it with Minwax Wipe-on poly. It is 4-3/4 inchie in diameter and stands 6-3/4 inches tall.

Bowl with Pewter lid

This is made from a piece of myrtlewood that I have had in a box since the late 80’s. I found the top in the wife’s craft room and it needed a bowl. It has a hutwax gloss finish; took less than two hours to make, is 2 1/2″ high by 4 1/2″ diameter.

Pecan Bowl

This came from the crotch of a pecan tree. While I was turning it I noticed the tool was hitting some moisture. I stopped the lathe and found a huge worm still alive. I dug it out and gave it to the birds. When I tried to finish the bottom of the bowl I move the tail stock back and had the speed low but it ended up flying off and hit me just above my left eye. Needless to say it left a mark and I found my glasses about 10 minutes later. 🙂 It weighs in at a good 5 lbs or more.

Eagle Inlay Pen

This is the Eagle inlay pen kit from Woodcrafters. It is for any of the Wall Street ll pen kits. The one I used is the Wall St. ll with an I-Pad stylus tip. It was easier than I thought it would be, just take your time and follow the directions and this is what you’ll end up with. Carl, I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now and your the reason I decided to try some of these project. I up graded my lathe and really started to get serious about lathe work. I bought a Grizzly and I really like it over my old 12″ Craftsman model. The way you position the camera so the viewer can see exactly what your doing and how you explain things is Great. Thanks, John

Teaching

I taught my son how to turn a pen. He really took to it and now he can’t stop talking about it.
