Wine glass plate one-upmanship

It is rare that one has opportunity to one-up the master. Thought you might like my version of the wine glass topper.
Thanks for the idea.

walnut bowl

Turned from green walnut. It’s about 10″ in diameter and almost spherical with the sapwood only at the top rim. 1/8 – 1/4 inch thick. I just let it air dry for a couple weeks with no problems. But, the sapwood got dark near the end grain trailing the heartwood. You can see the darkening on the inside of the bowl at the top. Carl mentioned grain that stood up. Could mine have picked up color from the heartwood? I sanded and sanded, but it wouldn’t come out. Any suggestions how to fix this?

Wine Glass Plate

I started making some small plates out of some old cedar fencing. The planks are around 7 inches wide and about 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Very easy to turn but until I saw your video I didn’t know I was turning wine glass plates. Keep up the great work and I always love your videos.

Valentine’s Day Flowers

A special gift for Valentine’s Day. These flowers are turned by me from three different species. The vase is made from padauk- a very red wood. The flower buds are made from osage orange- a very orange wood. And the stems are turned from lignum vitae- a naturally green colored wood. I’m extremely proud of how these turned out! I think they were well received by my date! Thanks Carl for the most excellent (and well timed) project.

Duck Call

Duck call with an Echo insert I made from a scrap piece of black walnut. I finished it off with a CA finish.
