I made this box from scrap mesquite wood that I was given. I was ready to throw it away and Linda persuaded me to try to work with it. She likes the look. I have six more chunks to make over a period of time.

My first mesquite wood wood turning. It is a vase.

Made a new bowl and pen holder using pinion wood.

Three new Christmas trees made from Pinion wood.

Linda picked out the design from a picture she obtained from a catalog she received. They are made of pinion pine.

Made a box to hold string. Convenient knot hole on side of box to dispense the string. Gary

This is a bud vase made from Pinion wood. The worm holes are an included feature. I did some spiral carving. Just started this new skill set. Not sure if I will continue it.

The two vases were made with a design chosen by Linda. She also chose the milk paint colors. The small bowl is a yoke with two limbs attached.

Made new bowl out of pinion pine. I burnt in a design on the side.

I made a new pecan bowl. While attempting to make another one, my nice Oneway screw chuck broke off. I have decided to give up on pecan wood. It is just too hard to turn. Close to the hardest I have turned.

Just finished this Pecan Box. The box lid warped slightly after I fitted it. It is part of working with wood. OH well.

Finished making two bowls from pecan wood. Note bark inclusion. Gary

Just finished four new pecan bowls. Lots of figuring. Gary

New Candle Stick Holders by Linda and Gary

Linda and I collaborated to make these two candle holders. I turned them and Linda did an excellent job of decorating them. The wood is our local pecan wood. Gary

Made two new pecan bowls. Linda likes the big ugly one. I almost threw away. Gary

These are my favorite wood turnings. The tall 14 inch piece is a spalted maple vase made from a maple tree in Washington State. The 9 inch vase is made from maple burl in two sections glued together; The small purple heart piece is my smallest box and is to hold tooth picks for Linda when we took trips. The last piece is a trivet made using a face plate in 2004 from an article in wood magazine. Gary

Just finished these two boxes. One is painted with milk paint. Believe it or not, it takes me hours to make boxes. Gary

Just finished these four miniature dolls. Inspired by an article in my wood turning magazine by Ernie Newman. Linda likes little. Gary

Three new candle holders made of Pinion wood.

Linda picked out some pictures of some wood turnings and I worked on copying them. They are made of pinion wood. Gary

Two new plywood bowls just finished+

 I just made these three bottle openers to give away to guides on our trips.   I thought these would be more appreciated then wine stoppers.   Gary
