Liberty Bell

Hello Carl: Here is my version of the Liberty Bell. I made this for a friend of mind for his name sake. His last name of Wells. The wood is from a redwood split rail fence I was tossing out from my front yard. I hated to throw it all away so I saved a couple chucks to turn. Love your work. Ed. Maynard

Cherry Burl & Walnut Vase With Brass Inlay

This piece is turned from a piece from a burl my uncle had cut off a fallen Cherry tree.

I rough turned the piece of cherry, but I didn’t have to wait long since the wood was already fairly dry. I extended the neck with walnut and filled in a void in the burl with brass filings.

This was my first time inlaying brass and I think it turned out amazingly.

Bocote Bowl and Carbon Fiber Pencil

I was finally able to buy a house after spending three years in an apartment. My small garage shop is starting to come together and I’ve been overly anxious to get back to learning new skills on the lathe after watching your videos for the past two years. Thank you for all the inspiration and being a great teacher.
