Pecan bowl

Just finished turning this pecan bowl with embelishments. Oil and sanding sealer finish.

Wooden beads turned on my lathe.

These are 41 beads that I turned on my lathe. I tried to make each one different. Linda plans to make them into Christmas decorations in small strings to give away as gifts.

This is another box made from sour wood. I stained it grey. The beads are a work in progress. I turned nine and have 27 left to do. The mushroom is work from the past.

I made these small ornaments and Linda decorated them for Valentines day.

This box is made from Sour Wood. The dust from it actually smells sour while I was turning it. Gary

Newly turned bud vase. I have been looking to find a place for this long glass tube for a long time. it does extend past the top of the vase and I think that this OK. Pecan wood. Gary

Tried a new technique with these bowls that did not work out well. I tried to do them in mass a step at a time. This resulted in excessive cracking. Also, had the chuck inside the back of the bowls while turning the front. This resulte in one bowl with a large separation which I repaired and yet does not look good. So, I like trying new wood turning techniques and will go back to proven success actions for bowls. Three of the bowls are going to the thrift shop. Gary
