Natural side winged tea light holder

This is a piece of citrus wood. Left the sides natural. The limb was about 3″ in diameter and about 6″ long. Mounted on a faceplate and turned a socket on the bottom and did a little shaping. Turned it around and mounted on the chuck. Turned the recess for the candle and shaped the wings. Flipped back around finished the bottom the checks started showing up. Filled with ca did a little sanding then hand rubbed some ca on it for finish gives it a rustic feel.

Thanks,
Glen

cherry burl bowl

I’m 15 and got the piece of wood from a neighbor of mine who was going to burn it, it was already split so it was hard to get a good sized bowl out of solid wood so it does have some major voids but it came out much nicer then I had expected.

Tea light

I was turning a small round leg box and my interior exceeded my exterior. I cleaned that up and out of a piece of cedar I turned a small box to fit in the design change hole. So it can be used to set a tea light in or set the box in.

Laburnum Log bowl/candle holder

Laburnum natural edge log bowl/tea light holder. 8.5 inches long x 2 inches deep and 3.5 inches wide finished in microcrystalline waxes.
I used 3/8 gouge and a round nosed scraper to make it and it took about 20 minutes from start to finish. sanded to 600 grit.
It was surprisingly well balanced on the lathe and I could run it at 2000 rpm straight away without any chatter or vibration…..obviously making it easier to get a clean cut and nice tool finish.

I look forward to hearing any feedback from other wood turners!

James 🙂

RingBox

My fiance made me this ringbox when he proposed to me. It was his first project he made on his wood lathe. He is so proud of it, and shows it to everyone. He loves watching your videos Carl. He watches them every week, and learns from your videos, and makes similar projects to yours. I thought I would surprise him and put up this picture on your website. His name is Andrew. This was his first segmented piece he said, and plans on doing more like this box in the future!
