Spectraply and oak segmented bowl
I made a bunch of bowls for Christmas presents this year. They were all of a fairly similar design, so I decided to try something a bit different for making a video. The film is intended to be droll and a bit whimsical. It is almost entirely shot in stop motion.

Shattered Time, the Dr Who pen
I’ve been turning for about 6 months now and I wanted to make a Dr Who themed pen for a friend who is mad about the series.
I cast pen tubes in resin with glow-in-the-dark pigment (blue and white, mixed at a late stage in the curing process) and then turned them down to slim cores.
I took small watch parts and bent them in a press to fit the cores and glued them in place, I also wrapped a colour print-out of the Tardis from the show around the top core too! Then used a clear resin to cast it all up, turned it to shape, sanded it and a coat of CA glue makes it transparent again!
I dunno if the show is as big in the states as here but its about a time travelling hero so I wanted the watch parts to look like they were exploding and the parts which stuck out a bit got nicely turned away to give a nice “cut” effect.

Another picture of the DR Who pen
This is the other side of the Dr Who pen! This was huge fun to make, but quite an involved process!

Magnolia Hollow Form
This is an end grain magnolia hollow form. Will turn a finial with lid. Last summer I had a catch while hollowing and mangled my finger. Decided today to ate or to finish it. So here it is. Polished with Capt Eddie’s shine juice.
