Alumilite Resin and Banksia Pod Lidded Box

I turned this Alumilite lidded box on the lathe, Brad cast a bankisa pod in the Alumilite. This was my first time turning Banksia pod, man this stuff is really dense, and dusty….but well worth it. The box is 4 1/2″ tall and 3 3/4″ in diameter.

Segmented Wave Lidded Box

I turned this John Beaver inspired lidded box. I used the Miterset to make the segmented rings for the wave, and lid. I used the band saw to cut the arc which creates the wave after it’s turned on the lathe. I used Maple and Walnut for this project. The box is 6″ tall and 4″ in diameter.

This is so cool!

My first kick at “The Call”

Hi Carl – After watching some of your videos, I figured I would try my hand at woodturning, thinking it might be good for a fella’s mental health. For me unfortunately, it has caused a severe case of O.C.D. (Obsessive Call Disorder) and my wife hasn’t talked to me in several days. Turned my first duck call out of an old couch leg. Although it turned out pretty good, I think my wife may have taken issue with the fact that now the chesterfield is all lopsided. lol Cheers from a Newbie!

Inifinity Pour

This is based on your pouring wood videos. The spoon is a Banksia pod, the pouring wood is maple, the box is cherry and ash with a walnut wave. Thanks for the inspiration.
