Spring / Summer 2019 turning projects

[X_Digger]

Here are a few more things I've been doing in the shop..

This is a shallow plate made from London Plane (a hybrid of plane and sycamore).


This is a small garlic press with mesquite handles.


This is probably the last walnut bowl I'll turn. I've become sensitized to it, and it sets my allergies off.


I made my wife a replacement wedding ring from crushed opal and tungsten.


This is a travel mug I made from bradford pear.


This is a neat little gadget. It's a soda can opener made from osage orange (bois d'ark).


I made these measuring spoons from spalted sycamore that I'd dye stabilized.


I really love bradford pear. Such a lovely color.


Something for the dogs to chase, a laser pointer in dyed curly maple.


A friend of mine is a hiker, this fire starter should be useful. Sycamore is the wood.


Another bottle opener, this time in pecan.


This bowl started out as a dough bowl, with very thick walls. My wife started making bigger loaves, so it wasn't needed. I carved the walls down to be scalloped.




This ring is from green acrylic over a stainless steel core.


This was an experiment. I inlaid shell fragments in a shallow trough in the bowl's rim, and then filled with epoxy resin.
