Wind Chime
I was inspired by something similar that Carl did when I browsed the Archives. Its a little windchime, at the bottom is battery powered LED tealite, a small chime hanging in the center. The top and bottom are cherry with a small bit of maple lamenated at the top for some contrast. The sides are simple molding I picked up at the local hardware store, soaked in water and bent to a slight curve. Sanded to 600 grit and coated with about 5 coats of spray clear laquer, buffed between coats. I presented it to my son and daughter in law as a house warming gift.

Small Ambrosia Maple bowl
I’m very new to woodturning, and also legally blind. As such I’m pretty wary of trying to sharpen lots of different tool angles, thus far I’ve been using carbide tipped tools. There’s so much to learn but on this bowl And others I had trouble sanding the end grain portions. Any advice on end grain sanding would be awesome. Many thanks. Chris

Singapore ball
My first attempt at a singapore ball, after turning a perfect sphere I marked out 32 equally spaced holes (a fair bit of maths is involved) and then drilled out each one using a ball cage jig held in the lathe, after that I turned all 32 spikes to go into the holes, it took forever but well worth it 😀
