Five Boxes With Finials

I have just finished making five boxes on my lathe.  Three of the boxes are made from big leaf maple burl.  One of the boxes is made from palosanto chucko from Paraguay.  Three of the finials are made from ebony.  I made finials for all five. 

Home Made Wood Turning Tools

This is a picture of five wood turning tools I made using 36 inches of 1/4 inch water hard drill rod in the last three days.  It cost $3.40 cents for the rod.  I had to torch them using a Map gas burner and quench it in water to get the steel hard.  I shaped the ones that are bent using a vice and hammer.  I used the new straight tools to make some finial for some boxes that I have made.  They are nearing completion.  December 25, 2012.

This is a bowl I made from a single board.  I then pasted stucco patch on it and sprayed it with copper paint.
Merry Christmas December 2012.
