I just finished making twelve bottle toppers and a paper clip magnet holder.  I am trying to clean up left over projects.  I had the corks and dowels..  I also had left over wood.  

I just completed two miniature Christmas bird houses and am preparing to make  a number of cork bottle toppers.  

This is an Ash Bowl I made for my Tai Chi Instructor Mrs. Wu.

Linda and I make these six lathe turned snowmen.  I turned their bodies and hats.  Linda made their scarves and added the buttons, faces (and the white body on one).  

Linda and I competed some of our work in the Solano County Fair.  Linda was awarded two second place ribbons and one best of division ribbon.  Her and I had worked on the three Faberge eggs and we received a second place ribbon for that entry.  I really did not see any other wood work submitted for this fair.  The Bottle Toppers are a project I just finished.  There are six of them and I turned them from various colors of laminated wood.  They are fun to look at and I think they will make Christmas presents.  

This is a 7 inch by 2 1/2 bowl made from locus wood.  I made it for a new next door neighbor who is remodeling her house before moving in.

linda and I corroborated on this very nice bowl  which I think is museum quality.  It is a 10 1/2 by 1 3/4 inch figured maple bowl which I turned and Linda decorated.  She painted in the natural lines of the bowl.  These pictures were also taken on our new living room rug which was delivered today.  She chose the colors to go along with the color of the rug, I had to use special spray to make sure the paints did not run.  It is called “fixative”.  It worked.
