Some fun stuff turned over the weekend

[NCGrimbo]

Great job and each piece is very beautiful.

Wow - very nice!

I have turned some of the chunks I got from you (pics someday when I finish) and I have one that looks like it may have come from that log also. Very hard stuff for spalted.

Extra nice David, great designs.

Very Nice!

David is the top for the pick holder one piece, or did you turn it in sections and then glue together?


Thanks,

Jeff

The top is one piece, excluding the dowel that connects the top to the bucket. The dowel is glued in to the bucket and in to the top.

Yes it will, and if I don't stop making all this stuff we won't have any room to sit down - The houses over there are much smaller!!

Not really sure as I don't have a meter, but Roger gave me the log a year ago and I assume it was pretty wet then. It was about a ft dia and 18" long. Bobcat Bob chainsawed it in to 4 quadrants for me and there it sat until last week. Nice to turn though, the cut off the tool was really nice and sanded to a really smooth surface.

Thanks David~! :eusa_clap

I can't wait to turn mine~! :eusa_danc

You may need to cultivate a British accent, but hey, anything's possible:rotflm:

"Cultivate"? Well, they do grow on ya...
Most of us Southern boys can do just one phrase - "Bond. James Bond." Been trying it occasionally since high school, never gotten the desired reaction, but we never give up. :rolf:

Just keep using the words "excellent" and "absolutely" the rest will come.. For a primer, watch the Russian on the train in "from Russia with love" And never, ever order a claret with fish - it's a dead give away......
