Really like the shape in the first photo where it flares to the natural edge, great idea and execution. =D> Please post a picture of the finished piece, I'd love too see it. Cheers David

A big thank you very much for all your advice, I don't mind poisoning me or the girlfriend (Ummm that gives me an idea) but I wouldn't of been able forgive myself if I'd made a baby ill. I will try it in Maple and raid the kitchen cupboard for some olive oil. I was going to try the captive...

Thanks Chipmunk. Thanks promhandicam. If I have read the leaflet right, most of the hazzards are caused by dust during the machining of the wood. If a seasoned piece of wood was used and sanded, sealed and oiled would the effects of 'sap' still be a health issue?

=D> =D> Very nice

Hiya, I would like to make a babies rattle for a friends little one but I am a very concerned with wood choice and finish, especially as I can foresee the baby putting it into her mouth! Which woods would you recommend for this type of project? I have some Maple left over, which seems quite...

Thank you very much for your advise. My problem is while doing the last cuts I often chicken out of using the gouge to cut and turn it onto the side and use it as a scrapper, which often leaves tear out. I then proceed to sand out all the tear out which normally changes the shape, sometimes by...

Haha, I certainly take my hat off to you turners who can get pieces to match. You wouldn't need a microscope with the kindling I create, you could tell the difference from across the street. :lol:

Good luck, I hope I voted for you, the web page kept timing out!

He,he, thats really something different................how do you polish it????? with your tongue?????

Unbelievable =D> =D> , Did you visualize the design of the piece before you start, or does it develop as you start turning?

I've just picked myself up from the floor! Second place, I can't believe it!! I had my 5 favorites and I didn't reckon my entry came anywhere close. Thank you again to the jugdes and organizers of this competition, it has pushed me so far beyond my abilities and I really enjoy that. Its...

Hi, here is my entry, travel Candlesticks. I saw something similar in a antique shop and loved the idea of the cadlesticks folding up into the base, you are now ready to go traveling! Made from Maple using a parting tool, bowl gouge and spindle gouge. Sanded to 400 sealed with S/S and finished...
