Mushroom

Great project 10 minute project to use small limbs or small scraps of wood. I left the bark on this one. Hopefully it will stay on when it completely dries.

Easy Wood Working Tools

I made a natural edge bowl using the Easy Wood Tools finishing tool. This tool creates a finishing cut with very few tear outs and has replaceable tips. Making it a great addition to your tool arsenal.

Square Cherrywood Bowl

Beautiful square cherrywood bowl. This project has a modern feel with the square edges. This piece would make a wonderful candle holder and in a set of three would decorate a dining room table nicely.

Natural Edge Maple Bowl

This is a natural edge made from maple. This was turned while the wood was still green and was then placed in a brown paper sack with the shavings from the piece to dry over a few weeks. This is a great method to use to help prevent cracking and splitting when turning green wood. I used the Easy Wood Tool to make this 7 inches in diameter bowl from a piece of maple a received from a friend who had a tree fall last winter.

This is the first Easy Wood Tool I have used and am very pleased with the results.This is their finishing tool with the round carbid cutter. I think this tool would be a great addition to any woodturners arsenal.

Fallen Maple Tree

This maple tree fell down on a friends property. They will be taking down the rest this fall. I have brought some nice sized pieces home for large and small projects and have sealed the ends with paint to prevent cracking of the wood.
