I like that Chas a different slant on plain segmented pieces

Some fantastic pieces there Paul thank you for posting this

I would go with MikeG's idea. the only problem is that you would need to keep removing it from the disc/belt and keep it cool as stone and ceramic can produce heat checks which could spoil the item if it is to be left as is. The same if you use an angle grinder. The ideal tool would be a slow...

Shame about the Ivy. Like the yew bowls. If I don't get into the shed for a time I start getting withdrawal symptoms either that or I end up with so many ideas I just don't know where to start

Certainly getting back in the swing of things. Ornamental cherry which once stood in my garden. Turned from the trunk which is only 6" diameter as it was only a young tree. Finished with Acrylic sander sealer and an Acrylic gloss lacquer. Measures 6 1/2" X 4 1/2" X 3 1/2". Managed to lose the...

Thank you Chas

Thought I would have another go at a piece of turning found what appeared to be a plain piece of ash in the woodpile, pleased with what I found inside. Finished with sander sealer and then put on my buffing system, I did add a coat of woodwax22 on top of that.

I only ever use 120, 180 240 320 400 and 600 grit discs and have not had any problems if you wanted to go coarser then there are 80 grit. All of these give just the right amount of a gap between the grits for a good finish. Is there a reason for not changing to those

Nice bird table and boxes. All the other jobs that need doing which stop you from shed time but they need doing

Good to be playing again. Still, have two large pieces of this and another couple about this size. Should be good fun as the bark likes to fly around

Turned from a piece of Chestnut burr and finished with Danish oil and a coat of woodwax22. This has been the first piece after my hospital visit and boy did it feel good to be back turning. Size is 4 1/2" tall by 5 1/2" wide

Well due to recovering after a hospital visit I completed the rack which seemed to take forever compared to before. This is complete but yet to be screwed to the wall but it will give an idea how I will store mine I have left an empty row at the top just incase, I still need to look at the cole...

This is what my rack is based on just going out to cut some more pieces for mine

Not much help at the immediate moment but have just started to make one to fit on the wall. so over the next week will be starting properly as I only came out of the hospital yesterday with instructions to take it easy

Badger brush

Thank you Robbo. You know me I just like to play with ahapes and different decoration

There are so many different ways to deal with cracks this is another. The one near the knot is left open the small one near the rim is filled with coffe and CA glue and the big crack is held with two walnut butterflies

Thank you Chas. I did have to remake the lid as the first one became loose after sitting in the house for a couple of days number two I rough turned then took indoors and finally turned now fits a treat

I think it would depend on a couple of things one being the hardness of the wood and how easy it cuts and secondly the size of the chisel for me the mallet I made from a bowls ball is ideal for the chisels that I have and for the majority of woods that I use. It also depends on what is...

Made this from Field maple burnt decoration then ebonised foot and finial finished with acrylic sander sealer followed by an acrylic satin finish
