Natural Edge Camphor Laurel Fruit Bowl

Greetings All

Finally I was able to spend time in the shed and do something I like to do, wood turning.
Wood is local wood, Camphor Laurel, been in my shed couple years and I just love to work with Camphor Laurel wood, pretty colours and not too hard to turn.

A Simple Little Bird House

Hi Carl
Thankyou for replying to my email, it was much appreciated. I’m sending you a photo of one of my projects, I’d welcome any constructive critisism you can give. I would send you a video but I’ve not mastered the art of videoing my woodturning. I’m afraid of getting too many shaving into my computer.

Have a very merry Christmas Carl and keep up the good work

Tricky lidded box

I wanted to make a vase/box with a lid, but where do you put the lid once it’s off? I actually drew up plans for this one, which was going swimmingly until the bottom blew out where the Nova chuck was holding it. There is a crack running up one side of it from the red gum, and every time I remounted it at the top, it kept spreading, so up close, it isn’t totally perfect, but happy with it all the same.
